It's Not Easy Being a Master

A small pond suddenly became a vast ocean.

Yan Jin's barrier separated the sea water, and the two looked around.There are everything around, large and small schools of fish, dazzling coral formations, Shen Zhixian thought he had gone to the aquarium in a daze.

There is a small road on the bottom of the sea, which winds and leads to nowhere. The two walked forward cautiously. After walking for half an hour, the small road disappeared on a piece of fine sand.

This is - landed?

Stepping on the soft and fine sand, Shen Zhixian couldn't help but turn around and look at the sea. The light blue sea was quiet and quiet, and the water glistened under the sun. No one could see that there was such a road hidden under the sea.

"I found it, I found it!" A slightly childish shout came, and Shen Zhixian immediately came back to his senses, saw the next moment of the person coming, and hid behind Yan Jin without hesitation—this scene seemed familiar.

A seven or eight-year-old boy ran over with his feet loose, and the moment before he was about to grab Yan Jin's clothes, Yan Jin's frozen eyes fixed him in place.

"Look, I found it..." The boy's voice became lower and lower. He tilted his head and looked at Yan Jin carefully. The more he looked, the more confused he became, and there was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, "Ah, it's not Xiao Jiu."

Shen Zhixian poked his head out from behind Yan Jin, and looked at the little guy for a while. The little boy asked hesitantly, "You...have you seen Xiao Jiu?"

Shen Zhixian also hesitated and asked, "Where is this?"

Three people look at me and look at you, and no one can answer the other.

After a while, the little boy timidly asked: "Then, then... have you seen Xiaoba, Xiaoqi, Xiaowu..."

He counted a series, counting from nine to one, Shen Zhixian's head got dizzy when he heard it - whose child's nest did he break into?

The little boy was still looking over eagerly, and he also felt Yan Jin's indifference and inaccessibility, so he subconsciously ignored him and asked Shen Zhixian.

However, Shen Zhixian retreated behind Yan Jin again. The little boy took a peek at Yan Jin, then took two steps cautiously, and walked around in front of Shen Zhixian, staring intently.

Shen Zhixian had no choice but to feel a headache when he saw a child, so he tugged on Yan Jin's sleeve unconsciously, and asked, "Are all the people you asked about children?"

Seeing his answer, the little boy immediately nodded happily, and said, "Yeah! My name is Xiao Shi, and I want to find Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ba, Xiao Qi...all of them!"

Shen Zhixian thought for a while, and tried to be kind and said: "But we just came here and don't know what this place is. Can you tell us where this is? You tell us, and we will find a friend for you."

He thought he had spoken very gently and kindly, but Xiao Ten stared at him for a while, opened his mouth, and repeated mechanically: "Have you seen Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ba, Xiao Qi... have they?" Muttering, "We're playing hide and seek, but I can't find them."

Xiao Ten's expression gradually became confused, as if he had encountered some huge problem, he frowned, muttered for a while, and then let go of his feet and ran away like when he came, without even paying attention to him two people.

Shen Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, seeing some houses not far away, he said: "Go over there and see if there are any adults."

"Yeah." The sand was fine, and Shen Zhixian walked with trembling steps. Yan Jin held his hand, helped him to walk steadily, and asked casually, "Does Sui Jian hate children?"

"It's not that I hate them, children are still very cute. It's just that I'm afraid that they will hold me and cry." Shen Zhixian sighed, "When I cry, my brain hurts, and I can't be coaxed."

"Sui Jian took care of children before?"

"No." Shen Zhixian answered decisively, "It's too late for me to hide from them, why should I take the initiative to take care of them."

Yan Jin stopped talking, and Shen Zhixian didn't care.When he was about to walk to the front of the house, Yan Jin suddenly stopped, and asked again: "Then... a child who doesn't cry or make trouble, will Sui Jian like it?"

Shen Zhixian thought that he had already exposed this topic, so he asked this question again without guarding against it, and then said in a daze: "Don't cry or make trouble... It's okay. Who wouldn't like an obedient child."

Who doesn't like it.

Yan Jin lowered his eyes, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he didn't continue to ask.

There are quite a few houses by the sea, and there are more than a dozen families in a row.The two knocked on the door one by one, but there was no response from inside.

Yan Jin listened carefully for a while, and finally pushed open the door decisively——the room was empty, and there was no one there.

After pushing the doors of four or five houses in a row, they were all empty, except for furniture and other things, which were covered with dust, obviously not used for a long time.

This place... Shen Zhixian had an ominous feeling in his heart, the one who can talk in this place, could it be that the child left just now?

Oh, and maybe those little nines and eights... a bunch of kids.

Where have all the grown-ups gone?

Reluctantly pushing open the door of another house, this time, as soon as the door was pushed open, there was a movement in the room immediately, Shen Zhixian was overjoyed, and Yan Jin went over to look at it, and his immature face immediately turned his hopes smash.

"Xiao Shi?" Shen Zhixian looked at the face he had only seen not long ago, and subconsciously yelled, only to realize something was wrong after he finished shouting, the direction Xiao Shi ran away just now was not this way at all, if he turned back and hid in the house Here, it is impossible for Yan Jin not to find out, and this child...

Seeing them, the child hiding under the table came out timidly and asked in a low voice, "Did you see Xiao Shi Xiao Ba Xiao Qi..."

Shen Zhixian raised his forehead, so this kid with a face exactly like Xiao Shishi's is Xiao Jiu?

The essence of human beings is a repeater, and the essence of the world is a copier!

He was about to say something, but Yan Jin held his hand tightly, and then whispered in his ear: "He is not a living person, but a soul."

Shen Zhixian suddenly turned to look at him.

Yan Jin motioned him to look at the little boy.

The little boy huddled under the table. Seeing no response for a long time, his eyes became blank, his eye sockets gradually turned red, and the big teardrops rolled down like broken beads. He whimpered and whispered: "I can't find it, I can't find it... I'm so useless, I can't even play hide-and-seek..."

As the tears fell more and more fiercely, his body gradually blurred, and his whole body became weak and empty. Even Shen Zhixian, who had no spiritual power, could see that something was wrong.

Shen Zhixian pointed to the little boy with difficulty, and then pointed to the door: "The one just now... is also?"

Yan Jin corrected, "That's probably the soul."

Shen Zhixian: "..."

Ten children, small ten, small nine, small eight... count to one.

This really has to make Shen Zhixian think more, people have three souls and seven souls, are these ten children actually just one child's three souls and seven souls that have been dismantled to pieces!

Who is so cruel to tear apart a child's soul like this? !

Is it the person who created this secret realm?

Many thoughts flashed through Shen Zhixian's mind.Xiao Jiu's crying gradually weakened, he stared blankly at the two of them for a while, then suddenly slipped out from under the table, and rushed over when Shen Zhixian was not paying attention.

Shen Zhixian quickly dodged behind Yan Jin, only to be grabbed by a length of sleeve.

Xiao Jiu tightly tugged on his sleeve, persistently said: "Play hide-and-seek with us! Come with us to make fish laugh!"

Before Shen Zhixian had time to get a headache, he was attracted by a new name: "Yuyu? Who is this?"

Xiao Jiu's eyes were empty, and he didn't seem to hear his words, and kept repeating: "Come with us to play hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek hide-seek hide-seek..."

The repetition like chanting scriptures and the crying voice with hiccups made Shen Zhixian's hair grow bigger, and he looked at Yan Jin hesitantly.

The meaning of Shen Zhixian asking for help was too obvious, Yan Jin thought about it, and said coldly: "Shut up."

I don't know if it's because his aura is too cold or for some other reason, Xiao Jiu was startled by him and hiccupped, and when he let go of his hand, he really didn't dare to cry.

Crying is not daring to cry anymore, but the words are still repeating: "Hide and seek hide and seek hide and seek..."

Yan Jin asked him a few more words with a cold face, but Xiao Jiu ignored him and just muttered to herself, as if immersed in her own world.

Shen Zhixian had no choice but to ask in a low voice: "How do you play hide and seek?"

Maybe he was born with the aura of children. No matter how hard Yan Jin asked, he couldn't get a response. When he asked, Xiao Jiu immediately stopped repeating his chanting, and looked over: "Do you want to play? You and me Hide it and let him find it..."

Shen Zhixian whispered: "Maybe this is the arrangement of the secret realm? Only by playing hide and seek like this can we find the exit?"

Yan Jin frowned: "Dangerous."

"There are no living people around here, and the only ones who can communicate are these few children... a few dismantled souls. Maybe if you gather these souls, you will be able to know the whole situation."

With an unknown land and an unknown environment, Shen Zhixian certainly didn't want to separate from Yan Jin, but there was no other way. In the current situation, perhaps obeying the child's words was the only way out.

He was persuading in a low voice, and Xiao Jiu was also repeating, Yan Jin pursed her lips, frowned even tighter, and reluctantly let go: "Then try."

When Xiao Jiu, who finally got her wish, pulled Shen Zhixian and was about to run away and hide, Yan Jin suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Zhixian's wrist.

Shen Zhixian was taken aback.

Yan Jin's eyes were deep, her expression was extremely serious, she bit every word very clearly, and said in a deep voice, "I will find you."

"Most definitely."

Until Shen Zhixian was dragged by Xiao Jiu to turn east and west, and hid in a forest, Yan Jin's words were still circulating in his mind over and over again.

Find... find it and find it!

Why do you have to say it like this... Shen Zhixian can't describe that feeling, what he has to say is... as if he is some kind of heartless person who sneaked away and is about to be found!

Shen Zhixian hid behind a tree, looked at Xiao Jiuqian and said: "You hide here, I'll hide there..."

"Yeah." He nodded perfunctorily, watching Xiao Jiu walk away with three steps and three turns, he calmed down, and carefully felt that the parting just now was a spiritual force that Yan Jin hastily left in his body.

He didn't understand what Yan Jin meant, and only said that he left the spiritual power to ensure his safety. At this moment, he sensed that wisp of spiritual power, and guided it to walk slowly in his body, thinking about what to do now.

I don't know what that ray of spiritual power touched, suddenly a little scorching heat rolled from the depths of the sea of ​​spiritual energy, burning Shen Zhixian back to his senses.

Hey?

what?

He belatedly felt the indistinct burning sensation—is that the contract he made with Yan Jin before?

The scalding sensation was faintly visible, Shen Zhixian concentrated on feeling it carefully, but couldn't feel it anymore.He thought for a while, and deliberately guided that ray of spiritual energy to poke the contract.

This time it really worked, the contract started to heat up, Shen Zhixian felt that he had vaguely sensed something, he closed his eyes and sensed it carefully, turned to a certain direction, and suddenly opened his eyes.

——Yan Jin.

The contract vaguely told him that Yan Jin was in this direction.

So Yan Jin saw through his identity in the same way before?This contract can still be used like this?

Shen Zhixian hesitated for a while, and looked in the sensed direction, a little uncertain whether he should take the initiative to find it.

Just now Xiao Jiu took him around in the woods for a long time. There was mist in the woods, and it was blurry not far away. He was led around a few times, and he couldn't remember the direction. If the contract sense that's right...

He thought for a moment, and decided to give it a try. The earlier we meet, the earlier the peace of mind will be.

After making up his mind, Shen Zhixian stepped forward.

The trees in this forest are lush and not too tall. There are pale pink flowers blooming on the trees, which look a bit like peach blossoms. They emit a faint fragrance, which is hidden in the mist and drifts around silently.

As Shen Zhixian walked, he instinctively felt that the fragrance was not right, but he had already gone deep into the forest at this time, he could not see the edge in all directions, and had nowhere to retreat, so he could only deliberately breathe slowly and reduce the amount of inhalation.

There was a shadow in the mist ahead, Shen Zhixian stopped, stared at it for a while, slowly stretched out his hand, broke off a flower branch from a short tree next to him, held it like a sword, pointed at the ground obliquely, shaking his wrist lightly, the pale pink flower The son trembled a little, but there was a hint of murderous intent.

The shadows emerged from the mist, they were a few weak phantoms with gray-black translucent bodies, hesitantly testing in front of Shen Zhixian.

The little phantom ghost, as the name suggests, is actually the most common and lowly creature in the mountains and forests. It is born in the miasma, and it likes to haunt innocent passers-by, making them fall into endless illusions.

Those little phantoms hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but float over to haunt Shen Zhixian.

Shen Zhixian's brows turned cold, and his subordinates showed no mercy. He transferred the ray of spiritual power to the flower branch, and made a few sword moves lightly - he just lost his spiritual power, and it wasn't that his whole body was disabled, the sword moves could still be drawn. of.

The wisp of spiritual power left behind by Yan Jin can't do great things, and it's more than enough to kill a few little phantoms.

The breeze blew the flowers down, and the flowers on the branches were shattered into many petals, which fell down one after another, leaving only one standing firmly on it, trembling in the aftermath of the sword move.

Shen Zhixian heaved a sigh of relief, the flower branches slanted to the ground, and looked coldly at the phantoms, which broke into haze before they had time to struggle, and scattered in all directions.

It seemed that a child's voice came from not far away, Shen Zhixian walked away slowly, and the fog receded like a tide, gradually revealing the foreground.

It is a fine sandy beach.

At first glance, it looks very similar to the one when they first landed from the bottom of the sea, but upon closer inspection, Shen Zhixian finds a difference—the edges are blurred and lifeless, this is an illusion.

There seemed to be the sound of children laughing all around, Shen Zhixian vaguely saw many children chasing and laughing at the edge of those vague illusions, but this excitement had nothing to do with him, nor did it have anything to do with the children alone on the beach.

The waves rushed to the shore repeatedly, and many small shells and crabs were rolled up, and a slender and beautiful little blue fish was also rolled up.

The child was originally squatting on the beach, staring at the distance in a daze.And after the little blue fish was rolled ashore, it jumped forward lazily, just at the place where the waves couldn't roll it back into the sea again, just jumped to the side of the child, and lay still.

Its color is really beautiful, like the charming blue at the junction of the sky and the sea level. Under the sun, it makes people unable to open their eyes after looking at it.

The child was attracted by it, looked at it quietly for a while, and carefully poked its slightly white belly with his hand.

The little blue fish bulged its belly, and continued to remain motionless.

The child showed a silly smile. Seeing that the waves could not rush up, he carefully picked up the fish, took a few steps forward, and put it back into the sea.

But after a while, the waves rolled up the fish again. As usual, the fish jumped a few times and then remained motionless again.

Fish will dry out without water.

The kid puffed his cheeks. Although he is a fool, he still understands the truth. This little blue fish is so beautiful, what if he dies!

He put the little blue fish back into the sea again.

However, I don't know what happened, but after a while, the little blue fish was rolled up again.

The child was at a loss. He looked at the beautiful little blue fish and felt a little overwhelmed - how about playing it a little further away this time?

He picked up the little blue fish again, and this time he decided to go further into the water, so that the waves could not pick up the little blue fish.

But this time, Little Blue Fish didn't like what he wanted.

The white light flashed in the child's hand, and the child's eyes flickered, and he wanted to cover his eyes subconsciously. As soon as he let go of his hands, the little blue fish fell down. When Kankan was about to hit the ground, the ball of white light suddenly elongated and changed. A figure emerges.

The long hair fell like a waterfall, and the face was so beautiful that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female. The man bent down slightly, poked the child's forehead with his slender white fingers, and said in a cold and leisurely voice, "I want to sleep in the sun, don't put me back again!" gone."

His eyes were deep ice blue, and he stared at the child smothered, and then the figure turned back into a little blue fish in an instant, flopping on the fine sand, choosing a comfortable position, and basking warmly staring at the sun, motionless.

The child stood there blankly, he was a well-known fool in this sea area, he couldn't figure out what happened just now.

He lowered his head and saw the little blue fish again, its beautiful fish was covered with a little sand.

Fish without water—is to die.

The child kept this truth firmly in mind, he squatted down, carefully picked up the little blue fish, and put it into the water again and again.

Crash, a wave rolled up, waking up the little blue fish.

It stuck its tail in the fine sand to prevent itself from being swept down by the waves, and moved slightly, as if it was very confused.

Being outside the illusion, even Shen Zhixian felt its suffocation and couldn't help laughing.

look!The power of bear children!
