In the north, in the Shadow Army Camp. The moment before Du Sheng met Huang Shixian, he suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped.
Huang Shixian was curious, why did this young man stop when he got close? Could it be that you thought you had lied to him before?
However, when Huang Shixian took a serious look, the ring on Du Sheng's hand lit up again.
he walked over and asked. "What's wrong?"
Du Sheng concealed his panic and said. "fine!"
After speaking, he did not forget to smile. "It was troublesome before."
Huang Shixian smiled. "No, when I first met you, I felt that you were not simple, and it turned out to be true."
He said, already handing over a packet of medicine. "This is what Master gave me. Once a day, I might be able to suppress it."
Du Sheng took the medicine bag and handed over a bottle of wine. "Drink?"
Huang Shixian took it, but Du Sheng spoke again. "I can't compare to you. I heard from the seniors in the military camp that you are very talented. I didn't think so before. But now, I have changed my mind."
Huang Shixian took a sip of wine, was a little dazed, and said slowly. "It's such an emergency, what do you think they are doing for it?"
Du Sheng shook his head and looked at the largest tent not far away. "I don't know, but it's probably related to the sword energy yesterday."
"That's quite a big deal."
Du Sheng took the jug from Huang Shixian and hung it on his waist. "gone."
"Yeah!" Huang Shixian nodded.
But after walking a few steps, he stopped again and said. "The next thing may be very difficult. You have come into contact with those people. It is said that many talents are very good, but is it really?"
"It's true that some people are talented, but judging from the ones I've been exposed to, they can only be seen."
Du Sheng nodded. "That's not bad."
Huang Shixian looked at Du Sheng's leaving figure and spoke again. "I feel uneasy. If Shadow is really disbanded, where should you go?"
"I don't know yet, but I think I can't run away if I come to the south. But this premonition is really bad, I hope it won't come true."
Du Sheng smiled bitterly and looked at the ring on his hand. He was not joking. If the Shadows were really disbanded, then he would have no choice but to go south.
The master is in the Danzhou area, but in the past month, the ring has been unable to feel his breath.
If the ring is really not broken, then something has happened to Master.
Du Sheng seemed to have remembered something and said. "It's you, what should you do?"
Huang Shixian smiled and said, "I don't know yet, but maybe I will die in battle with the master, which can be regarded as an account of the past."
"No wonder you are the most talented in the shadows, and the military advisor is willing to accept you as his disciple? We are just not as good as ordinary people."
"But it's not as powerful as everyone said, at least I haven't actually killed that gentleman yet."
Du Sheng smiled. "That's not a good job. I can't blame you."
He said, waving his hand. "gone."
After a few days, senior leaders finally discussed a countermeasure.
The Shadow is in danger, and the top generals are fighting to the death, but the young geniuses are their only way out.
They must disband and leave immediately, even if it is not to make a comeback in the future, at least it can save their lives.
Huang Shixian met Du Sheng again.
It was the day before the young people in the military camp were preparing to leave.
Du Sheng was talking to Tang Wansi about something.
Looking at it from a distance, it seems to have the meaning of explaining the aftermath.
He walked over and Du Sheng turned around to see him and spoke with a wry smile. "It seems that your premonition is good. I'm afraid it will be disbanded this time."
"Are you really planning to go to the south?" Huang Shixian said with a wry smile.
"I should go and have a look. I haven't heard from Master at all. To be honest, I feel a little uneasy."
"Then leave early. If we wait until that person goes north and the army in front presses on the border, it will be difficult to leave."
"This place is going to be a sea of fire. Are you really not going to leave?"
"Master is still here, where do you think I should go?"
"Forget it! Knowing that you have always been like this, even if I have my heart, I can't persuade you."
Du Sheng left the next day, but besides him, there were also some young people in the shadows who left one after another.
Just when he was about to turn around and report back to the military camp, someone called him from the side, "Shixian, come here and take a look."
This person is Fang Shuqin, who ranks as a military advisor in the shadows. He is also his nominal master.
Huang Shixian was stunned. He didn't expect that his master had been standing beside him for a long time, but he didn't notice it at all.
He turned and walked over. "Why is Master here?"
"What? You don't want to see me as a teacher?"
"No."
The middle-aged man whom he called master reached out and patted his shoulder, sighing with relief. "When I first met you, you were so tall. It has only been eleven or twelve years since you turned into a young man. I have to sigh, how time flies."
He didn't answer, just followed him back.
Because he felt vaguely uneasy, as if the master wanted to drive him away.
"Think about it, I haven't spoken to you calmly like this for many years."
"The main reason is that Master is too busy, running around about Shadow."
"That's true, but this shadow! It was still screwed up by us leaders."
He didn't speak because he didn't know what to say.
When the two of them were about to reach the tent, Fang Shuqin took out something from his body and handed it to Huang Shixian. "You should also pack up and leave!"
Before he picked it up, he saw clearly that it was a blue jade pendant.
He knelt down quickly and refused to take the jade pendant, feeling a little panicked. "If Master doesn't leave, I won't leave either."
"Do you know what will happen next? The northwest is about to usher in a bloody storm, and most of us will not be able to survive by then."
"I know, but I will still be with Master, even if it means death."
Fang Shuqin sighed and shook his head. "That's all. I'm afraid I can't persuade you. Come over and have a drink with me. I'll teach you all my skills."
Huang Shixian nodded quickly. "Thank you Master, I will definitely study hard."
But not long after, Huang Shixian, who said he would study hard, never expected that he would be poisoned by his master and fainted.
Fang Shuqin looked at Huang Shixian lying on the table, stayed for a long time, and then said. "come in!"
Several men in black clothes came in and slightly bowed their hands to Fang Shuqin.
"Remember to take him far away."
"Yes, military advisor."
"Now that I'm gone, it's up to you to protect him."
One of the men in black who seemed to be the leader jumped out and held his hand. "Don't worry, military advisor, even if I wait to die, I won't let little brother Huang get hurt."
Fang Shuqin waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.
Several people were also quick, and they carried Huang Shixian on their shoulders in a few seconds.
After several people disappeared, Fang Shuqin stood up and slowly left the somewhat dark tent.
The moment he opened the tent, the wind outside blew on his face, which was indeed a bit indescribably cold.
"Is the northwest going to change?"
Li Yi and his party were stopped by a group of bandits seven or eight kilometers north of Quling City.
Several people's expressions were a little ugly, and one could even say they were shocked.
The bandits in front were dressed in tatters and held curled steel knives.
Speaking of which, he really doesn't look like a bandit. But they still pretended to be fierce, which added a lot of fun to Li Yi and others.
Sure enough, if you are not a person in the pool, you can't do anything in the pool. As soon as those people opened their mouths, their true identity was exposed.
"I planted this mountain, I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave a guillotine behind."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Chuxin, a cheerful person, laughed out loud, but even the three people who had always been relatively indifferent couldn't help laughing.
A bandit on the side quickly whispered into the ear of the bandit who said the wrong line.
The bandit who said the wrong line blushed, but he still stiffened his neck and spoke again. "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road."
"What if we don't give it!" Zhang Chuxin said.
"Then, all I have to do is kill you all. Anyway, there are quite a lot of lonely ghosts in the mountain countryside, and it's just a good idea to keep them company." Another bandit looked over coldly.
Zhang Chuxin was about to speak again, but Su Wanli sneered. "Did you hear that? They actually want to die. Haha... I have never seen such rampant bandits in my life! It's really interesting."
The sneer and the indescribable coldness of the words seemed to be clogged with thousands of years of phlegm in the throat.
He didn't care about the surprised looks from Li Yi and others, but sneered and waved his hand. A stream of black smoke rushed away from him, breaking several thigh-thick trees on both sides of the road.
He sneered and looked at his hands. He said as if his temper had changed. "It's a pity that I really don't like killing people. Otherwise, I'm afraid my bones will be buried here."
Several people had never seen such a battle before. They were so frightened that their legs became weak. Some even collapsed on the ground and could not stand up.
Speaking of which, they were not bandits, they were just refugees from the north to the south.
I had never done anything like this before, but now I was too poor to take the blame, so I had no choice but to go up the mountain and become a robber.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of business, he was killed by the first wave of customers in the street. Seriously, it is not easy to be a robber these days!
Su Wanli walked aside, groped on the horse for a while, took out a package, threw the package directly to a few people, and said. "Let's go! Find a decent job, and don't be a bandit anymore, harming others and yourself. If you meet me again, you won't be as easy to talk to as today."
Several men grabbed the package and nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, thank you young master for not killing me."
Then they turned around and left.
Zhang Chuxin and Li Yi looked at the young man named Su Wanli and were a little confused for a moment.
He obviously looks ferocious and like a desperado, but he actually does good things that they have to admit?
Could it be that he was pretending?
Zhang Chuxin asked. "Brother Su, you look very rich! Just give it all to them?"
He actually wanted to say why he let them go, but the words ended up being like this for some reason.
Su Wanli jumped on his horse, looked up at the sky, and said to Gao Qinghe. "It's still early, Miss Gao, should we go?"
Gao Qinghe nodded and jumped on the horse. "good."
Li Yi and Zhang Chuxin looked at the two of them and followed them.
Zhang Chuxin asked curiously as he led his horse next to Su Wanli. "Brother Su! You look younger than me. How did you develop such good skills? Is there any secret?"
Su Wanli didn't look at him and just said lightly. "If I say that you are born with it and don't need to practice at all, would you believe it?"
Zhang Chuxin shook his head. "Don't believe it, after all, it sounds really mysterious."
"This is a fact."
"Anyway, I just want to ask Brother Su, are you willing to teach?"
Li Yi raised his forehead and shook his head. Why didn't he find Zhang Chuxin, a studious person like him?
Su Wanli turned to look at him, sizing him up. "You want to learn?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Chuxin nodded. To be honest, he really envied Su Wanli's ability.
Su Wanli turned to look at him and said. "You are in Xichu and your talent is quite good. Why bother asking me?"
"When it comes to cultivation, who can have too much? If you are like me, the more the better."
Su Wanli sneered. "That sounds nice. Do you know how much it costs to have this level of cultivation?"
"I don't know."
Su Wanli sneered again. "I wonder if I still want to learn. I'm really not afraid of death."
"Will it backfire? Don't worry. I have rough skin and thick flesh all my life. There is no bitterness that I cannot bear."
Su Wanli sneered. For some reason, he always felt very scary in that smile.
He spoke every word so clearly that it made people shudder. "For this price, the whole world will be our enemy. We are destined to kill everyone in the world, including you. Oh! And them."
Su Wanli took the horse a few steps forward and said again. "Besides, even if you want to learn, I can't teach you."
"Why?"
"Didn't I just say that? I have never practiced in my life. I have this power myself. I really don't know how to teach it."
Li Yi and Gao Qinghe followed the two men on horseback, listening to their conversation, looking at each other and spreading their hands helplessly.
They parted ways a few miles north of Quling City.
Su Wanli and Gao Qinghe went up the mountain to a Taoist temple called Xiaoxian Sect on the way, while Zhang Chuxin and Li Yi continued south.
When leaving, Zhang Chuxin said to Su Wanli. "If we meet again in the future, Brother Su, please don't keep it secret. I will also learn from your cultivation."
Su Wanli stood beside the black horse and bowed his hands to Li Yi and Zhang Chuxin who were riding on the horse. "If it can really be like this, it's okay. Simply, I don't want this skill, so why not give it to you."
Li Yi and Zhang Chuxin entered the city and walked directly to the bookstore called "World Affairs".
"World Affairs", as the name suggests, is Uncle Xi's bookshop.
This bookstore is not small, it is even a little ridiculously big. At least in the land of Quling City, it is the only one.
Zhang Chuxin had friends he knew in Quling City, but due to the embarrassment of failing to start his business half way through, he had no choice but to follow Li Yi here.
There were a lot of people in the city, so the two of them got off their horses early and led them slowly forward.
They suddenly stopped, but it was not the kind invitation from Sister Yao in Fireworks Willow Alley, but an experienced fortune teller on the roadside who stopped them.
"You two little brothers, please walk slowly."
Li Yi found it funny and thought that liars these days are really shameless.
Zhang Chuxin was also curious and asked. "Taoist Priest, is there something wrong?"
