Yu Hongchen

Thousands of Shadow Walls garrison casual practitioners alternately, Qi Huan disappeared for no reason, Fu Yangsheng had other uses, and was taken away by name by Shang Lixing, leaving only Qi Ruyi and a hundred or so casual practitioners under his command.Shang Lixing brought Xie Liuchen, Ji Qing, He Suowu, Fu Yangsheng, and fifty casual practitioners back to Qiushuimen without stopping.Qu Kongqing clung to Ji Qing, unwilling to leave, so everyone had no choice but to let him go.

Half a day later, everyone finally turned back to the Qiushui Gate, and as soon as they entered the meeting hall, dozens of casual cultivators who were waiting here eagerly came up to meet them. Swallowing back the words with saliva, he only said angrily: "Master, your face—"

Shang Lixing sat down, waved his hand to stop him and said, "It's okay, let's talk about the current situation first."

A gentle casual cultivator came up to him and said: "Ten days ago, six monks from the gate visited Xiaoli Village and were killed by three men of unknown origin. After hearing the news, we immediately sent some casual cultivators to investigate. I saw everyone's broken limbs on the spot, and they died terribly. At that time, when we checked the scene, we found that the whole village was in ruins and deserted, and we only found the silk handkerchief embroidered with maple leaves and a crazy mortal." This person handles all kinds of complicated information in Qiushuimen, and he has always done things in an orderly manner, and he can explain the whole story clearly in a few words.

"Ten days ago, that happened to be the sixth day when we entered the Thousand Shadow Wall," Shang Lixing nodded and agreed, and asked, "What do the sects say?"

A monk with a rough figure gave a piss: "Those old and immortal Jieri are hiding in the deep mountains to cultivate immortals and make alchemy. I'm afraid they don't even know what night it is. It's useless to ask them!" Burning with anger, he kept cursing and cursing non-stop.

Shang Li Xing ordered him to be quiet, and frowned, "What's the situation with the demon clan?"

Another casual cultivator stepped forward and said, "I would like to report to the sect master. According to reports from the disciples stationed in the mortal world, it is only said that about half a month ago, Xiya Mountain suddenly opened."

"It opened suddenly?" Shang Lixing frowned: "What do you mean? Explain clearly."

Nasan monk said: "That night, Xiya Mountain burst into a red light all over the sky, and the west bank swayed in the middle of the night. A huge continent slowly emerged on the original mountain. Some disciples who lived nearby could see everything clearly from the bank. The Yaozu who had been missing for 300 years suddenly reappeared in a strange way, and in the early morning of the next day, the news spread throughout the entire Nanling Continent." Having said that, he looked at Shang Lixing and added, "At that time, you, Sect Master, It’s no longer at Qiushuimen.”

Shang Lixing's face was full of sorrow, he pondered for a moment, and said: "How did they kill people, and what did that mortal explain, and explain the situation at that time clearly."

But I saw that elegant monk just walked up a few more steps, and said in an orderly manner: "We searched for a long time in the village, but we still couldn't see a single person. The next day, we found a crazy mortal in a bush. Holding a bright bead in his mouth, he murmured, "Killer! Killer!" We woke up his mind and heard some truths from his confused mouth. It turned out that he was a peddler who bought and sold pastries in Xiaoli Village One day, when I was rushing to the market to sell pastries, three strange men came and bought a drawer of buns from him. One of the tall men stopped the other monks present—that was the Qiushuimen disciple. The man asked After a few inexplicable words from the doorman, a few strange tones suddenly came out of his mouth, and the doorman was immediately torn into countless pieces, bleeding all over the place. After he recounted the situation at that time, we guessed that the tall man should be a follower .”

Ji Qing and other casual cultivators became more startled the more they listened, but Xie Liuchen was confused and puzzled.

Shang Lixing didn't change his worried expression: "Then, where is that peddler now? Is he okay now?"

The Wen Ya San cultivator said: "The sect master has a heart. After suffering such an innocent disaster, the few of us are very sad to see it. We follow Miss Bai Xuan's teaching and cut this demonic memory of him from our minds. It's just that In the rest of my life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enjoy my dreams in peace."

Shang Lixing nodded and said, "As long as it can be recovered, that's good. Just bury those disciples alive."

That Wen Ya San said yes, and said again: "It should be so. The sect master must have seen that Fang Jinpa."

Shang Lixing took out the piece of silk handkerchief from his arms and put it on the palm of his hand, and everyone gathered around, looking at this silk handkerchief with eyes of surprise or fear, talking a lot.

Shang Lixing looked at Fang Sipa in a daze, and murmured: "In the demon clan, since the previous demon king passed away, there are still people who use this kind of magic..."

Ji Qing stood on the left side, staring at it intently, and murmured: "This square silk handkerchief is embroidered with a few maple leaves, is it for the demon king?"

A casual cultivator suddenly said: "The listener inquired earlier and heard that the new demon king is named Jing Feng, maybe it is this person."

Ji Qing wondered: "But I clearly remember that 350 years ago, when the demons invaded Xiya Mountain, the demon king and demon queen died in battle. At that time, they only left one daughter, how could they become men again?" ?”

"Daughter? Man?" Shang Lixing suddenly remembered an old event many years ago: "Could it be that baby boy back then?" He turned his head suddenly, looking at Xie Liuchen who had been standing quietly by the side all along.

Xie Liuchen panicked when he saw him: "Why, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Shang Lixing glanced away again, and said to himself: "How is it possible...the passage of the monster race has been closed at that time."

Xie Liuchen felt that Shang Lixing's eyes were very unusual just now, as if he wanted to say something to him, and all the monks around him also felt that his movements were really weird, so they all looked at Shang Lixing.

Shang Lixing frowned and lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and when he looked up, he saw that the eyes of the people around him were all fixed on him, the eyes were very thought-provoking.Funny said: "What's the matter, why are you looking at me like this?"

The crowd scattered and repaired their eyes with concern, and they hesitated to say: "Sect master... are you okay?"

Shang Lixing shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

He Suowu pushed away the few casual cultivators surrounding Shang Lixing, and said coldly, "Brother is too tired and needs to rest."

"The situation is not yet clear," Shang Lixing coughed lightly, and got back to business: "The monster race has been in seclusion for more than three hundred years, and we are not among them. We don't know anything about it. It's useless to speculate. What we have to worry about now , is how they will get along with the human race, and what impact it should have on the future situation."

All the casual cultivators were thoughtful, but at this time they heard Qu Kongqing leisurely say: "If he really intends to embarrass the human race, he will take the initiative to visit in a short time, instead of venting his anger on a few insignificant casual cultivators."

Shang Lihang agreed very much: "Pavilion Master Qu Shao is right. Their attack on the human monks was obviously a provocation, but it was actually a test. There should be no big moves for the time being. We will wait and see what happens."

Everyone also said: "The sect master's words are justified." Everyone discussed the follow-up countermeasures, only how to deploy troops on the west bank, monitor every move of the monster clan, how to find out the future plans of the monster clan, and where the monster clan's power is tending. How to unite the human race here, the future will be war or harmony, etc... The words are strictly righteous.After a while, seeing that Shang Lixing's expression became more and more haggard, everyone couldn't stay longer, they all left and went about their own affairs.

Ji Qing was also dragged out by Qu Kongqing, who couldn't calm down, and acted as Qiushuimen's guide for him.The previously crowded and lively meeting hall was suddenly deserted.Shang Li put away the veil, and the moment he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell, He Suowu quickly helped him with his eyesight.

Borrowing his support, Shang Lixing stood up steadily, shook his head at him and said, "It's okay. You can go about your own business first."

He Suowu responded, "Brother, take care."

Then he glanced coldly at Xie Liuchen who was standing numbly beside him, and walked out without saying a word.

Shang Lihang stood where he was, and after adjusting his breath for a while, he said to Xie Liuchen, "Follow me." After finishing speaking, he left the meeting hall.

Xie Liuchen followed behind him dispensably, and followed him slowly to the backyard.Seeing him faltering, looking sluggish, he hesitated to speak several times, but finally couldn't help but say: "Are you really okay?"

Shang Lixing, who was walking quietly, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at him.Xie Liuchen could see clearly, when he turned around, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he didn't know what he was so happy about.So he raised the corners of his lips again and said: "It hasn't improved after raising it for a few days, I'm afraid it's because I'm getting old."

Shang Lixing chuckled, "Put away your schadenfreude, I'm not that old yet." Seeing his lip line slightly raised, he was extremely proud.Feeling cute in his heart, he couldn't help but take a few steps closer, took the opportunity to lean his whole body on him, and let out a comfortable sigh: "It would be nice if I could take a break from being so busy every day."

Xie Liuchen straightened his face immediately, and gently pushed him away: "No one is forcing you to be the head of the sect." He took a few steps first, but left Shang Lixing behind.

Seeing him walking away in a hurry with a troubled look on his face, Shang Lixing said helplessly from behind: "There are some things that must be done by someone."

Xie Liuchen walked hurriedly, but didn't hear him.Shang Lixing finally understood with a wry smile, and sighed lowly: "Oh, how did you ever understand me?" Immediately after, he paced and followed.

He led Xie Liuchen to his courtyard, pointed to the wing room where Xie Liuchen lived before, and said, "You can live with me for now."

Xie Liuchen was not used to living in strange places, so he just said nonchalantly, "Okay."

Supporting his body, Shang Lixing walked slowly to the door, and said: "I live in the next room, if you need anything, you can come to me directly."

Xie Liuchen didn't want to get entangled with him, so he drove him away impatiently.Shang Lixing said something to him with a smile, and went back to his room.

After Xie Liuchen meditated in the room for a while, he finally felt a little itchy.The previous sword had been destroyed in the killing array set up by Sect Master Qing Yang.He has not practiced sword for many days.After fiddling in the room for a long time, he finally found a sword on the wall behind the bed. Although it was not as good as the one in Shang Lixing's hand, the sword glowed with fireflies, but it was still top-grade.Xie Liuchen was not too polite, he went to the courtyard to practice with his sword.Although Master Qingyang tried to exterminate him, the "Canghai Sword Art" taught by him fits well with his own skills, so he still needs to practice it.

After practicing sword for half a day, the door of Shang Lihang's room was closed all the time, and he remained indifferent.Xie Liuchen couldn't help but think too much, thinking that this man really slept deeply.Fu thought again that his injury had something to do with him, and cursed inwardly, "It's what he deserves! Who told him to jump off with me that day!"

The day passed without incident.The next morning, Xie Liuchen barely woke up, Shang Lixing just came to knock on the door, Xie Liuchen opened the door, and saw Shang Lixing standing outside the door, his face was radiant and refreshed.

Xie Liuchen wondered in his heart: "How did this person get better so quickly?" But his face didn't show the landscape, he just said indifferently: "The master of the Shang sect has something to do with me?"

Shang Lixing smiled and said, "I'll take you to a place."

Xie Liuchen looked puzzled: "Where?"

Shang Lihang held his hand, feeling quite happy: "Just follow me." He led him out of the room door and the courtyard door, and went towards the back mountain.Along the way, there were many casual cultivators who came over to say hello, and seeing the two of them tightly intertwined, their eyes were hot.

Arriving at a thatched hut that was dangerously close to the back mountain, Shang Lihang stopped in front of the hut and said, "Here we are."

Xie Liuchen looked in front of him, and saw two or three thatched huts next to each other under the shade of the forest at the foot of the mountain, with dilapidated walls and weeds and cobwebs growing in front of the huts, obviously no one lived there for a long time.Can't help but ask: "What place is this?"

Shang Lixing quietly walked through these few rooms, sighing and said: "This is the place where Wu Nian lives."

"Wu Nian?" Xie Liuchen murmured, "This name sounds familiar...is he also one of your nine sons?"

"Yes," Shang Li bowed halfway, removing the weeds in front of the house: "Recently, the demon clan came into the world, and I just remembered that it has been a long time since I visited this former brother in the future."

"What does this have to do with the Yaozu?" Xie Liuchen looked at his actions as if he was extremely nostalgic, and he was puzzled, "Why didn't you come to see him for a long time?"

Shang Li was about to finish weeding, and he approached the door smoothly, without responding, he said, "He is withdrawn by nature, and he doesn't want us to come here to disturb us often. It's been several years since I came here last time." He continued: "Actually, the monster clan He also had some contacts with Qiushuimen before. Wu Nian's Taoist companion is a member of the Yaozu."

Xie Liuchen suddenly had a thought, and blurted out, "A member of the demon clan?"

"Yes, it's Yaozu's pharmacist," Shang Lixing said, "It's called Nan Xing."

"What?" Xie Liuchen's ears buzzed, almost thinking he heard it wrong.
