Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Sad tears and drunken dreams are only temporary; being awake on earth is eternal!

Morning glow, top of the cliff.

Behind Shen Yichen is the vast sea of ​​yellow sand, in front of him are people living in the distant mountains. One step forward, he enters the rivers and lakes, into the world of mortals; one step back, he returns to the mountains and fields, to the free clouds!

Look at the distant mountains, look at the morning glow, and think about the worldly affairs; look at the wilderness, look at the yellow sand, and think about escaping from the world.

"Are you so confused? Are you so hesitant? Let me enlighten you with a word from my grandfather!"

Wan Ning looked in the direction of Jianying City and said softly:

"Grandpa once said that the only way a person takes when he is confused is the right one. Only then will he dare to walk. When you are sober, you will find that there is an abyss all around you and you will be unable to move forward!"

"I have your grandfather's cultivation and experience, how could I be in trouble? It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist!"

"Tsk, how old are you? You know nothing. Do you think you're the only one who has a hard time? Grandpa and I have traveled all over the country and met a lot of people. Who doesn't have a harder time than you?"

Shen Yichen smiled because Wan Ning was obviously younger than him!

Shen Yichen was indeed in a dilemma, and he finally understood what Sister Qing said!

"Perhaps not joining the game is the best outcome!"

This step today is a chance given by God for him to make a new choice!

Either go forward, into the human world, and meet the sword, or go backward, into the desert, return to the vast sea, and live a shameless life with Sister Qing!

With this step, whether moving forward or backward, Shen Yichen can never turn back.

"I don't know why Sister Yuyao thinks highly of you. You are just 20 years old, right? Shouldn't you be the most carefree, free and unrestrained age? Hey..."

Shen Yichen was unmoved!

"Just go away, why do you care about me?"

"I'm here to kill you. How can I leave if you don't die?"

Shen Yichen was speechless!

"Then go ahead and kill him, and leave me alone after you're done!"

"I don't have that ability. Besides, Grandpa promised someone not to embarrass you. I will listen to Grandpa!"

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard this!

"Who?"

"How would I know? Grandpa said that this is the person our leader loves but cannot have!"

Shen Yichen immediately guessed that it was his master Ji Xuanyan!

"Let's go, into the sword, your grandfather will guarantee that I won't die, right?"

Shen Yichen decided to head south to Jianying City, because he thought of his two masters. They seemed to be running away from something all their lives, and it seemed that there was nothing they could escape from! But he didn't know what the old Taoist priest and Ji Xuanyan were running away from.

"That's right. I can report back to my superiors. If they didn't kill you, I can bring them back with me. If they can't kill you, it means I'm not incompetent!"

Shen Yichen staggered and almost fell off the cliff!

"Didn't your grandfather protect me from death? Doesn't your grandfather have the final say?"

"My grandfather has the final say in fortune-telling. He doesn't care about anything else. It's not as effective as Sister Yuyao's words. I suggest that when you get to Jianying City, ask my grandfather to tell your fortune first. If he predicts that you won't die, wouldn't you feel relieved?"

Shen Yichen nodded. He really had to ask this old Taoist priest for a divination. At least he could ask how to resolve the calamity of being afflicted by the demon flower. None of the women he met along the way were worry-free.

Shen Yichen and the storyteller Wan Ning walked down the mountain along the mountain road. Wan Ning said that it would only take two days to reach Jianying City.

Shen Yichen had already made up his mind. He dumped this girl halfway and planned to sneak into Jianying City. He didn't want to be a sucker!

"Why can't the young master of the Ji family enter Yingzhou?"

"Are you crazy? How would I know the answer to such a question? But my grandfather seems to know it, and it's not a good thing. When Sister Yuyao told Grandpa that you are the young master of the Ji family, Grandpa's face changed!"

"Wan Ning, let's go our separate ways! See you in Jianying City!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he flew away!

Where is Wan Ning? She smiled slightly and did not chase him. When Shen Yichen disappeared, a needle appeared in Wan Ning's hand!

"Little brother, you want to get rid of me, but do you know what this needle of mine is for? I'll let you run away for a while, and then I'll scare you to death!"

Wan Ning's needle was not lost. She threw it to Shen Yichen on purpose last night.

Shen Yichen flew and landed on a ridge. He looked around and saw that Wan Ning had not followed him. He patted his chest and said to himself:

"How did the Xuantian Sect find me so quickly?"

Shen Yichen walked down the mountain along the road. He had already made up his mind that after he got down the mountain, he would dress up as a beggar and enter Jianying City. Now no one should know his whereabouts. From now on, he would hide in the dark!

Snowflakes are drifting on the withered pines and green cypresses, and the road ahead is winding through the deep mountains and quiet forests.

The mountain road that Shen Yichen was walking on had many forks and was a mess, so he just kept walking down without paying any attention.

Shen Yichen discovered a very strange phenomenon. All the pine trees in the mountain were dead, while all the cypress trees were lush and green. He didn't know the reason.

He walked and stopped along the way, he was not in a hurry, and he did not use his internal energy to fly. Shen Yichen's inner thought now was to be low-key, low-key, and low-key again!

It was almost noon when Shen Yichen finally walked into a mountain path with no forks. He was still wondering in his heart that the road in the mountains was too strange, like a maze. He was panicking when he walked to the back, but now he finally got out.

Shen Yichen walked into a valley. Not long after walking, he saw a temple. His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. He was really afraid of meeting a monk. However, after a closer look, it didn't seem to be a Buddhist temple, so he continued walking down the mountain.

This temple is very strange, it is two-story, a stacked temple! The blue bricks and gray tiles, the walls and roof are covered with dead grass, swaying in the wind, it must be quite old.

It was the first time that Shen Yichen saw this kind of temple. When he walked closer, he found a man kneeling in front of the temple, a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a blue sword inserted beside him. The man must have been kneeling for a long time, because his face was pale, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked like he was about to faint.

Shen Yichen didn't want to get involved, so he wanted to pass by the Die Temple and go down the mountain directly.

"What a good-looking man!"

A weathered woman's voice was heard from the temple.

Shen Yichen stopped and he never looked towards the Die Temple from beginning to end. This only meant that the person who spoke had been looking at him when he was walking towards the Die Temple!

However, since the voice was a woman's, Shen Yichen felt relieved. He turned around and looked towards Diemiao. He was not far away from the kneeling man at this moment.

When Shen Yichen saw the scene inside the temple, he was shocked! He saw the flying dragon sculpture again, which was exactly the same as the sculpture in the first temple in Longmian Mountain.

Shen Yichen swallowed a breath of cold air!

"Brother, are you coming from the mountains?"

There is a Buddhist temple on the upper level of the stacked temple, but an old woman came out. She was in a gray monk's robe and her face was full of wrinkles. Only her eyes showed life on her face. If it weren't for those eyes, Shen Yichen would have thought that the old woman was the same as the gray man in Wuheng Peak, a living dead!

Shen Yichen subconsciously took a few steps back. He wanted to stay away from the temple. Then he nodded and said nothing!

"Can you come from the mountains, little brother?"

The old woman asked again.

Shen Yichen was helpless and responded softly:

"Senior, I came from the mountains!"

Shen Yichen had to call the kneeling person "senior", because that sword was not an ordinary sword. It should be the strongest sword he had ever seen. The aura around the sword was really strong!

"Young man, do you know what is enshrined in the temple?"

The old woman was asking about the lower level of the temple, because Shen Yichen could not see the situation inside the upper level of the temple.

Shen Yichen quickly recalled every detail of Longmian Mountain. He had a feeling that this place might not be independent of Longmian Mountain, and there must be some kind of intrinsic relationship between them.

After a long time, Shen Yichen's expression changed, and he was secretly surprised:

"Could this be the Dusk Temple that Blind Shanjue mentioned?"

Shen Yichen had a headache and he didn’t know how to answer!

"I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave, senior!"

Shen Yichen decided to leave. He didn't want to say a word and didn't wait for the old woman to respond. He just turned around and left!

A light blue sword energy broke through the air and forced Shen Yichen back to the front of the temple. The sword energy was so strong, no, it was the sword intent so strong that he had never seen it before.

In front of the temple, Shen Yichen was so scared that he couldn't move!

"Young man, do you know what is enshrined in the temple?"

The old woman asked again. The azure blue sword that was originally inserted into the ground was now suspended in the air, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen can only call her Sister Qing in his sea of ​​consciousness!

"Sister Qing, Sister Qing, what's going on?"

Sister Qing did not wake up this time, nor did she respond.

Shen Yichen took a long breath and responded:

"Senior, what I saw was a statue of a flying dragon swallowing a pearl. This should be the legendary Dusk Temple, right?"

When the old woman heard this, her expression changed, and the man kneeling on the ground fell down, tilting his head to look at Shen Yichen's back.

"The person I've been waiting for is finally here!"

After the old woman finished speaking, she gathered her true energy in her hands, and countless flying swords emerged from her back, forming a series of steps from the upper temple to Shen Yichen's heels.

"please!"

Shen Yichen turned around slowly and looked at the flying sword steps floating in the void. He was so shocked that he didn't dare to move and didn't know what to say!

"please!"

The old woman said again, her eyes full of anticipation.

At this moment, sweat was dripping down Shen Yichen's back and forehead, and he cursed in his heart:

"Sister Qing, why are you so unreliable? You are even less helpful at the most critical moment!"

In fact, Shen Yichen understood that even if Sister Qing was fine, she might not be able to beat this person! This person gave him the same feeling as the gray man, and the breath emanating from his body was deathly aura, the aura of the undead!

Shen Yichen was helpless and walked towards the Dusk Temple. He had no idea what this meant, but he guessed that it should be related to the Longyin Village in Longmian Mountain, that is, the Dragon Guarding Clan!
