When the carriage stopped at the entrance of Fenghong Villa, one of the disciples inside had already run in to report.
"Shen, Deacon Shen?!"
At present, he has only told his two masters using Qianli Note that Shen Hao may be back, but most of the disciples in Rushou Villa must not know about it. So it was undoubtedly surprising to see that Deacon Shen, who was rumored to have been dead for more than two years, came back alive.
Shen Hao smiled and did not communicate much with the disciples guarding the door. He walked slowly towards the hill where his two masters were. And the news of his return soon spread throughout Fenghong Villa.
The happiest people are none other than Cheng Canghai, Yue Chi, and Zhang Daosheng.
After Shen Hao's accident, the three of them came back and were punished by Yang Xiu Sheng without serving for ten years. This meant that they could not take turns during these ten years and had to keep busy with things. This is undoubtedly a very serious punishment for monks who are accustomed to spending precious time practicing. But when they thought that the two ancestors' only disciples had been lost by the three of them, no one dared to intercede for them, and even they themselves couldn't say a word of leniency.
Even the position of the foreign affairs deacon of Fenghong Villa was directly assigned to the fourth elder Cheng Canghai by Yang Xiusheng, with Yue Chi and Zhang Daosheng serving as deputies. The three of them were miserable running around all day long. After all, they are not Shen Hao. With the help of Black Flag Camp's news channels and intelligence channels, things will naturally be much more complicated to deal with.
Now that Shen Hao actually came out of the underground palace alive, does it mean that Cheng Canghai and the others can end the punishment early? At least the errands of the Archdeacon of Foreign Affairs can be returned to Shen Hao, right?
Many people came out of their retreat rooms, wanting to see Shen Hao and ask them the same curious questions: insect tides, gusts of wind, various stone monsters, and the terrifying poisonous miasma. Looking around at these harsh and deadly threats, no one could understand how Shen Hao survived inside for more than two years.
The small courtyard on the hill still looks like that. Under the big tree in the courtyard, two ancestors sit cross-legged, seemingly practicing with their eyes closed.
Shen Hao stood carefully at the door, saluted and shouted softly: "Master, my disciple is back."
How could Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi not know that Shen Hao had arrived? He opened his eyes when he heard Shen Hao's voice. Yang Shan raised his hand and called Shen Hao over.
"We can sense that your soul has been stable, and we know that you are not dead, but trapped in the underground palace. At that time, Master Qingzhi broke in to search for you. He went to open the underground palace twice after that, but We haven't found you yet. We know that you should be somewhere deep in the underground palace that has not yet been explored.
I also thought that you were trapped, or encountered some time-consuming opportunity and had to stop.
But...who would have thought that in more than two years, you would have crossed the Xuanhai and reached the third level. It is unbelievable and unheard of..."
Although the faces of Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi did not look as frightened as Pang Ban before, the slightly trembling corners of their mouths and the eyes that were a little rounder than usual were enough to let people know that their moods were not calm.
Shen Hao was naturally mentally prepared for this. After bowing politely to the two masters, he sat cross-legged on the other futon at Yang Shan's signal, and then began to talk about his experiences in the past two years. Of course, what Shen Hao said was not entirely true, but was 70% true and 30% false.
This lecture lasted only half an hour, during which neither Yang Shan nor Yang Qingzhi interrupted.
After finishing speaking, Shen Hao sat on the futon obediently. Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi seemed to be digesting what Shen Hao said.
"You mean you relied on the spiritual weapon armor we gave you to survive in the strong wind?"
"Yes, Master Qingzhi." Shen Hao remained respectful. I didn't feel panic at all. Those remarks just now were not what he thought of temporarily, but were formed after repeated brewing and deliberation in his mind long ago. Bai Wu was even asked about some of them. He himself thought that it was absolutely impossible to use these words to get through. questionable.
Yang Qingzhi shook his head when he heard Shen Hao's answer and said, "This is impossible. Although the strong wind in the underground palace cannot destroy the spiritual weapon, it does not mean that the spiritual weapon armor can protect your body. Logically speaking, you are being Within ten breaths of being caught in the strong wind, your physical body will be torn apart, leaving only the spiritual weapon, and the protective effect of the spiritual weapon does not exist at all in the strong wind."
"But...disciple was really not hurt by the strong wind? When he woke up, he was already in a strange area." Shen Hao also looked confused. Of course he was pretending. The spiritual weapon and Gale were not the only "doubts", but they were left behind intentionally by Shen Hao.
When you encounter opportunities and adventures alone in the underground palace, it is impossible to explain everything clearly, and it is impossible not to leave any doubts. If the story compiled by Shen Hao is as clear as the original story, then it would be really suspicious. Leaving some doubts out will make the story sound more real and reliable.
Yang Shan: "Don't be impatient, disciple. You said you actually fainted in the strong wind. Then something must have happened while you were unconscious. This saved you from dying in the strong wind."
Yang Qingzhi nodded, agreeing with Yang Shan's statement.
"The strange-shaped hall you mentioned is interesting. Are you sure what you saw was not an illusion?" Yang Shan was not concerned about how Shen Hao survived the strong wind. In his opinion, this must be some kind of accident. It only appeared due to the influence of Shen Hao's luck. If someone else had been in that situation, he would definitely not have died. Based on what Cheng Canghai and others said before when they came back, the strong wind actually showed strange movements. Otherwise, Cheng Canghai and the others would not be able to survive. It's just that they stayed where they were, while Shen Hao was swept elsewhere.
Blessings and misfortunes, who can tell clearly?
However, Shen Hao said that he saw a huge palace with a strange style in a strange area of the underground palace, which made Yang Shan very interested. You must know that he and Yang Qingzhi were also frequent visitors to the underground palace. Later, because the harvest was the same, they gave the opportunity to their juniors to give them more experience in surviving in dangerous situations. But I have never heard that there is a real palace in the underground palace!
Shen Hao affirmed: "Replying to Master, I am sure that the main hall is not an illusion. Moreover, the red crystal stone the size of a fingernail that the disciple obtained was found in a side hall of the main hall. .”
"Red...spar? It feels a little soft in your hand...you were so conscious by that thing that you fell into a deep sleep for two years?"
"Yes, Master. At that time, I thought it was a different-colored spiritual stone, so I picked it up. It turned out that it was not, but the texture was very special, so I squeezed it hard a few times, and I immediately lost consciousness. Wait. I don’t know how long it’s been since I came back to my senses. I don’t know how long it’s been since my consciousness slowly returned to my body..."
