Chen Xingyun nodded again, spread the book flat, and focused on the line above.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, he put away his gaze, rerolled the book and put it aside. When he looked up again, the stone door in front of him slowly opened.
The screen went dark and there was silence for a long time. Shen Yi heard footsteps next to him and stopped quickly.
There seemed to be a sound of something being placed in front of him. He opened his eyes with difficulty and took a look. They were two small boxes, boxes containing beast pills. He recognized them, but they were not high-quality ones, but top-quality ones.
He slept too late, and now he was too sleepy when he woke up. He just glanced at it and closed his eyes again, trying to get some sleep.
But the person who sent the Beast Preservation Pill didn't leave, and he didn't bother to care. His consciousness soon became hazy again after he regained consciousness.
After a while, the person who sent Yun Beast Pill finally left, but his footsteps were a little hasty when he left, as if he was running out.
At the same time, Shen Yi also fell asleep.
But he didn't sleep too long this time. Almost as soon as he fell asleep, he felt someone shaking him.
"Xuanli! Xuanli! Wake up!"
Feeling too annoyed, he stretched out his paws and scratched to the side, but he didn't touch anything. He had to open his sleepy eyes and look. There were two people in front of him. They were the maids of the Zhao family, and the old witch was a little bit in the middle of his body. .
The claws are short and just didn't touch.
Seeing him open his eyes, Tsurumi Chuyun also breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two maids: "You guys go out first, he is fine."
"Okay." The two Zhao family maids nodded and left honestly as she said.
As soon as they left, Shen Yi said dissatisfied: "Are you annoyed? I'm sleeping!"
"I just came over to take a look."
"Just watch, why are you shaking me awake?"
"How are your injuries?"
Shen Yi turned his head back and took a cursory glance at his body. He was already much better. He was no longer as naked as yesterday, with all his scales falling off.
Now new scales have grown, but the color is not as bright and shiny as before, but matte, as if covered with a layer of gray.
"Isn't it obvious?"
The old witch said nothing more, looking at the newly grown scales on Shen Yi's body with surprise on her face. She knew that Shen Yi had a strong self-healing ability, but she didn't expect that the injuries caused by the evil spirit could be recovered. so fast.
After the surprise, there was doubt. If this Xuanli's recovery ability was really that strong, why did his previous injuries continue to deteriorate?
Shen Yi didn't know that during the three days he was in coma, various healing pills were poured into his mouth like jelly beans, but even so, the effect was still not satisfactory.
Looking at the Beast Accumulation Pill, she raised her eyebrows. Thinking of Shen Yi's persistence in the Beast Accumulation Pill, she seemed to understand something.
"Since there's nothing wrong, just take a good rest. I'm leaving."
Shen Yi ignored her, closed his eyes and was about to go back to sleep, but then he remembered something and quickly called her to stop.
"Wait! Write a few words for me." Because of Qiu Yu's death, he had forgotten about perspective sharing.
He still needs to find out what that guy is going to do.
He didn't know why he and Chen Xingyun shared perspectives.
Shen Yi thinks more that everything happens because of the other person.
Then Chen Xingyun should be a powerful person. There are all kinds of magic in this world, and it is not difficult to share the perspective with him.
He very much suspected that everything he had done before was all pretended by the other party.
If so, for what purpose did he contact me?
What are you hiding from?
This may be a cover.
If it's the worst situation you think about, then it's obvious that guarding against the other party is just asking for death.
Because the other party is just acting, and if he loses his patience and stops acting, then he is finished.
So playing dumb is the optimal solution.
Idiots make it easy for people to let their guard down, and he does that all the time.
But it shouldn't be too obvious. If you deliberately pretend to be stupid, others will notice the clues.
"What do you want to write?" Tsuraku saw that Chuyun was no longer surprised and asked quickly.
Shen Yi looked at her, feeling a little embarrassed.
It’s really inconvenient that someone else needs to write the reply to a message.
But what can be done? In this world, words are more complicated than paintings, and he can barely understand them, let alone write them with a pen.
The only one who can ghostwrite for me is the old witch.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yi said what he wanted to write.
After listening, Tsurumi Chuyun looked at him with a strange expression, nodded and said: "I will bring it to you after I finish writing it."
"One more thing, didn't I kill a prince before... What about tracing back to the source..."
Halfway through the words, Tsurumi Chuyun immediately understood what he meant. He was just worried that the caster would see him when he cast the trace of origin.
"Don't worry about this, the traceability technique can't see that far."
"That's it..."
Shen Yi felt relieved. It seemed that what he could see by tracing his origins had a certain range. He didn't know exactly what he would see after using tracing his origins. But in Yunqiu City, he shot the prince from a long distance in the air. Bombing and killing should be beyond the range.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be here now.
Either the Tsurumi clan will be exterminated, or he will be sold out by the Tsurumi clan to take the blame.
The old witch didn't stay long and left after a while.
Before leaving, she told Shen Yi that she could only move around in this yard and was not allowed to go anywhere.
Shen Yi didn't pay attention to her words at all. As soon as he left, he forgot what she said.
In the next few days, Shen Yi stayed in his residence without going anywhere. In the past few days, except for the Zhao family's maid who delivered the beast-accumulating pill on time, the old witch did not come to see him.
It took about a day for him to use the red energy to kill all the evil spirits in his body. All of them turned into gray residues, which were gradually expelled from the body as the red energy circulated.
Afterwards, he checked his body and found that the evil spirit was gone, but the scales on his body had not returned to being as shiny and reflective as before. They had always been matte.
A little uncomfortable.
It seems that the side effects caused by the Yin evil energy in the body have not completely subsided, so Shen Yi continued to digest the red energy at high intensity. But when he opened his eyes the next day, not only did the scales not regain their luster, but part of them were still shiny. white.
He didn't know why, so he could only continue. Anyway, the digestion of red gas would not harm him.
Another day passed, and more of the scales were occupied by the rising white. The Western dragon, which was originally a black and red gradient color, now directly changed its skin and gained a lot of weight, which was a bit weird.
Shen Yi was troubled by this. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't like white. It was just that this white was not pure. It was the kind of color that was white and black, and looked very mottled. In comparison, the previous black and red gradient was obviously more... Smooth, more advanced, and more comfortable to look at.
More importantly, as his scales turned white, he felt like he was wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap. There was a physical sense of restraint, which was very weak, but he couldn't ignore it.
Very uncomfortable.
After the third day, the old witch came to find him.
The purpose of her coming was also very simple, which was to hand over the tissue paper with written words to Shen Yi.
After reading it, I can understand what is written above at a glance. It is a simple and easy-to-understand sentence.
【what do I do】
It's very straightforward. This is what Shen Yi wants, to follow Chen Xingyun's request and slowly figure out his purpose.
She watched Shen Yi put the written tissue paper into the storage space, and then looked at his discolored body.
"Why...are you like this?"
"How do I know?" Shen Yi looked at his thick arm and tapped it with his other paw, making a "dang-dang" sound of metal collision.
Although the color has changed, the hardness seems to have remained the same...
But just as he thought this, his claws subconsciously exerted force and dug a hole.
"This..." Everything that happened suddenly caught Shen Yi off guard, and his brain shut down for a moment.
After reacting, he used force with his claws and tore it away along the hole where he had been buckled, quickly revealing the shiny black and red scales inside.
Only then did Shen Yi realize that it wasn't that he was changing color, but that he was shedding his skin!
"Fuck!"
"Um?"
"What are you doing standing still? Tear it apart for me." Shen Yi shouted, and at the same time, his claws tore at the old skin, making a constant "clacking" sound.
After hesitating for a moment, He Jian Chuyun still came forward and stretched out his hand to pull it off. However, the old skin on Shen Yi's body was as hard as steel. After she tried her best and found that she couldn't pull it away, she pulled out the sword with a clang. It penetrated around Shen Yi's pale skin, then managed to break it open, and then tore it apart with great effort.
It took Shen Yi half an hour to successfully shed his skin, and his body immediately felt extremely refreshed.
The new scales seem to be longer than before, and they are also different from before. There are some lines on them that look like growth rings on tree stumps, and they look like they have a very primitive atmosphere.
Shen Yi could accept these and was not disgusted, but when he stretched out his claws to touch his scales, his eyes widened.
This skin seems to have shed early, and the new scales are a bit soft...
After a while, the old witch just ordered someone to clean up the place where Shen Yi lived, and then left.
And he just lay down and digested the red gas peacefully, ignoring her.
It took a little more than a day for the new scales to become hard.
…
On this day, Shen Yi finally walked out of the door. After staying in the house for so many days, he felt like he was about to get moldy.
He has been dealing with the evil spirit, but he has not taken a good look at what Hengzhou City is like.
But as soon as he came out, he felt several eyes staring at him.
Looking for one of the eyes, I found a man who was leaning against the wall and whittling wood. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he didn't look like a servant of the Zhao family. He should be a retainer.
He didn't care, wandered out of the side courtyard, and walked along the cobblestone path while watching.
But the more he looked at him, the more puzzled he became. Why were the people around him always looking at him?
Shen Yi was not familiar with this courtyard and didn't know how big it was, but there were a lot of people here. Except for some servants who worked, the rest were just hangers-on.
And those who look after themselves are the hangers-on.
It's strange. I didn't see so many diners guarding the Tsurumi Fuxuan Yuantai.
In addition, the look in the eyes of these diners was not curiosity, but defensiveness.
Taking a few more steps forward suspiciously, Shen Yi soon figured out something and looked deeply at a doorman about a hundred meters away from him in the six o'clock direction.
The other party did not shy away from Shen Yi's gaze and looked at him.
Suddenly, Shen Yi unfolded his dragon wings and jumped into the air. The dragon wings flapped and flew quickly outside the courtyard.
And all the guests of the Zhao family who were staring closely at him cheered up.
"quick!"
Someone called for his companion, and the next moment the figure turned into an afterimage and chased Shen Yi at high speed!
Shen Yi also looked back and confirmed that his guess was correct, and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.
He still doesn't understand that these people are here to keep an eye on him to prevent him from running out.
Is this necessary?
Maybe, after all, Hengzhou City is different from Qingyuan Sect.
Among the three families in Yunqiu City, the Tsurumi family and the Xu family are not able to deal with each other. The children of the two families have to guard against each other from killing them. The other Qi family has the same interests as the Tsurumi family, so it is not considered hostile. But similarly, there are also interests tied up between the Qi family and the Xu family.
It is said that more than ten years ago, the Qi family had been enemies with the Tsurumi family and the Xu family, but due to the entanglement of interests, no matter how great the hatred was, they were easily resolved.
Hengzhou City is even more complicated. There are four big families. It is said that one of the Chu family’s heads almost broke through to the Xuan level ten years ago, but died suddenly at a critical moment. No one knows what happened specifically. Anyway, after that, it seemed that a pair of invisible hands were constantly provoking conflicts among the four major families, and then intentionally or unintentionally helping the other three families to smooth the gap between them and the Chu family.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is behind the scenes, but no one dares to tell.
Balance is important.
If the balance is broken and one family dominates, it may lead to its demise.
This is what Shen Yi knows about Hengzhou City so far, but he doesn't know the details.
Retract its wings and quickly fall back to the ground.
When the diners who caught up with him saw Shen Yi's sudden behavior, they all froze on the spot. Then they each looked at each other and walked back to their place in confusion.
Shen Yi saw their behavior in his eyes and felt a little irritated for no reason.
But he couldn't get out if he wanted to. Once he got out, the diners would definitely swarm to stop him, and Shen Yi didn't have the intention to fight with them.
If he is below the Qi Condensation Stage of the Pure Level, he can fight with his bare strength, but if he is above the Pure Level, he will have to use Dragon Breath.
As soon as the dragon's breath comes out, you will either die or be injured.
No need to use that.
He could only walk around the yard and get familiar with the layout of the environment.
But before walking too far, He Jian Chuyun appeared in the distance. Shen Yi saw her, and she also saw Shen Yi, but their eyes quickly staggered after collision, without any communication.
When the hangers-on saw her, one of them immediately came up and whispered something.
After listening, she looked up at Shen Yi and said to the doorman, "I understand." After saying that, she walked towards Shen Yi.
Seeing her coming, Shen Yi simply didn't leave and just waited for her.
When He saw Chuyun approaching, she signaled, and Shen Yi immediately followed her to a deserted place.
"What do you want to do?"
"I just want to go outside and wander around." For some reason, Shen Yi immediately lost his desire to explore the yard when he saw the old witch.
"Okay, but don't go out to Zhao's house."
"What's so interesting about the Zhao family? I haven't seen what Hengzhou City looks like."
"Don't get me into trouble."
"No, what trouble can I cause you? Isn't it okay if I don't fly?"
"No, the Xuanjie Venerable from Wuchuan has already arrived in Hengzhou City."
"Venerable Xuanjie? What does that thing have to do with coming to Hengzhou City and me going out for a walk?"
"Because you are not human."
"..." He Jian Chuyun's mouth moved slightly and gave Shen Yi an answer that was a bit insulting but left him speechless.
