Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

When a person is obsessed with something, any tiny clue or piece of news related to it will cause great waves in his heart. This is true for ordinary people and for cultivators as well. Therefore, there is a saying in the world of cultivation that cultivation is actually a process of cultivating the mind and seeking to verify the way of heaven. It is actually a process of questioning oneself. When a person has no thoughts in his mind, he will achieve enlightenment and ascend!

But for thousands of years, no one has ever known what it means to prove the Dao? How to ascend? And where to ascend? Because many people become confused after entering the Dao-seeking realm, not knowing where the so-called Dao is? What is the Dao? And those who are lucky enough to find their own Dao are also confused, not knowing where the end of the Dao is? What is the end of the Dao? There are always thoughts and questions in the heart, resulting in that for thousands of years, no one has ever reached the legendary realm of ascension!

Shen Yichen didn't need to cultivate his mind, because he had too many thoughts in his mind. When he heard about Hailing Lake from the second bandit, he was very excited and asked hurriedly:

"Where is Hailing Lake? How big is it? What does it look like?"

Mu Wanqian and Xixi were both stunned. Since they met, they had never seen Shen Yichen so serious.

The two bandits were even more confused and said helplessly:

"Great Immortal, we don't know either. Rumor has it that Hailing Lake is at the end of the vast desert, but no one has ever seen it!"

Shen Yichen was a little disappointed and embarrassed at the same time. He seemed to have overreacted. He said to himself:

"I have to go to Hailing Lake. Maybe there will be news about my mother!"

Xixi didn't say a word from beginning to end. She behaved more like a young lady's maid. She looked at the strange Shen Yichen without saying a word, and said to herself in her heart:

"He doesn't seem to be as indifferent as he seems to be!"

Shen Yichen calmed down and asked:

"How do I get to the desert?"

"It's just south of Yuyang County, the boundary between Yingzhou and Manghuang!"

This time it was the bandit boss who said it. He was afraid that the second brother would say something wrong again. Isn't it said that the more nervous you are, the more you stutter? But the bandit boss seemed to be doing the exact opposite!

"Well, please do as you please! Since we are friends, I'll pay for the tea, right?"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he drank tea and ate snacks, wondering whether he should go alone or trick the two ladies to go together.

But the two bandits didn't move, so Mu Wanqian said:

"Why don't you leave yet!"

I only heard the second bandit whisper:

"Great-great ...

"roll!"

Shen Yichen roared, scaring the two of them so much that they ran away!

In the end, it was Xixi who paid the bandits for their tea. She glared at Shen Yichen and said:

"Deduct it from your wages!"

Shen Yichen was so depressed! He said silently in his heart:

"Master, the Feng Shui of Guanxing Mountain is really, really problematic!"

But Shen Yichen had no idea that after the two bandits left,

The eldest said to the second:

"The Great-Great-Great Immortal is truly a role model for our generation, the leader in the world of robbing-robbing-robbing!"

The second brother nodded and responded:

"The Immortal is so amazing! We've only been apart for a few days and he already has money, clothes, and even two girls! Oh, robbing in the world of cultivation is so blissful!"

After they finished talking, they looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with nothing but envy!

Before leaving, Shen Yichen was so angry that he used his internal energy to throw the knife and axe on the table far away!

"Brother, look, isn't that our weapon?"

"The Great Immortal, you really love us too much! Look, look, it seems that you still support us in robbery. I-I-we will definitely strive to become the leader of robbery in the secular world!"

……

After Shen Yichen and the other two left, the elder among the three youngsters whispered:

"Scum among the cultivators! How dare they bully ordinary people!"

"Uncle Master, why don't you let us take care of it?"

A young man at the same table was a little angry!

"Useless! There are people in the Immortal Realm among them. Can you beat them? We are all the same age, why don't you know how to make progress? You only spend your little thoughts on beautiful women!"

It seems that the old man knows his three disciples very well!

The four of them also stood up and headed south!

The young man in blue thought for a long time and said softly:

"How can a Buddhist disciple bring a beauty with him? How strange!"

After saying this, he paid for the tea and headed south.

Shen Yichen followed Mu Wanqian all the way, thinking about whether to separate, but he had no money, and food and accommodation were problems. When he was hesitating, Mu Wanqian stopped, turned around and asked Shen Yichen:

"Which way do we go, you coward? You decide!"

It turned out that the three of them came to a fork in the road. Although all three roads seemed to head south, they must pass through different places. Mu Wanqian gave the right to choose to Shen Yichen, who was in deep thought all the way!

Mu Wanqian guessed that Shen Yichen must be thinking about Hailing Lake.

"Miss, you don't know the way? How about you give me money and I'll help you choose the way?"

Shen Yichen resumed his playful smile because he had just figured it out. Everything will be up to fate and they will decide when they get to the vast sea desert. Anyway, the two of them were going to Yingzhou and would pass by the vast sea desert.

"Coward, is there nothing else on your mind except money?"

Mu Wanqian sneered, but she was still a little happy inside when she saw Shen Yichen joking again!

"Miss, don't listen to him. This country bumpkin has probably never been out of the Manghuang Mountains. He doesn't even know where is where!"

Xixi reminded Mu Wanqian at this time, and she really guessed it right! How could Shen Yichen know which road led to where!

Mu Wanqian ignored Xixi.

"Choose one, you coward! If you don't, we'll be caught in the rain!"

Shen Yichen looked up at the sky, where the dark clouds in the north of Manghuang were slowly moving southward, and pointed at a road.

"Take this road! Give me money!"

What's the difference between Shen Yichen and giving directions with eyes closed? !

"Coward, I have no money!"

After Mu Wanqian finished speaking, she really walked along the path pointed by Shen Yichen!

Xixi rolled her eyes at Shen Yichen because she saw that Shen Yichen didn't even look at the road and was just pointing aimlessly, and quickly caught up with Mu Wanqian.

Shen Yichen had no choice but to follow, and he was actually a little happy inside!

He found that Mu Wanqian seemed to no longer call him a bumpkin!

The three of them still couldn't avoid the rain, but they didn't get wet because of the protective Qi. The three of them hurriedly walked to a dilapidated house on the side of the road to take shelter from the rain first!

The shabby house looked like an abandoned restaurant, with only one floor and a lot of empty space around it. When the three walked in, they saw three bonfires in the house, with seven or eight people beside each bonfire. The sky was not actually dark, but it was just too overcast and it was raining heavily, so the house looked very dark, and then they lit the bonfires!

"Coward, look at the road you chose, there's not even an inn!"

Mu Wanqian complained as she walked inside.

After seeing these people, the three of them didn't dare to speak. They found a place where no one was around, stood there watching the rain outside the window, and were secretly alert to their surroundings!

The people in the room were all cultivators, but all three of them looked lifeless. They were all dressed in black, with black scarves covering their faces. The man in black standing in front of another window watching the rain was obviously very powerful!

Xixi looked at this group of people and thought secretly in her heart:

"Why are the costumes so similar to those of the Shadow Guard?"

How could Xixi know that the attire and organization of the Shadow Guard were modeled after them!

Shen Yichen and Mu Wanqian were also very nervous at this moment. Shen Yichen quietly used his spiritual sense to investigate everyone. They were all in the late Jindan stage and early Huaixu stage. The man in black standing in front of the window was in the Linxian realm, but he couldn't find out his exact level. Shen Yichen guessed that he was above the middle stage.

When the standing man in black saw the three people coming in, his first reaction was:

"It's really like searching for something without any effort, but it's easy to find it!"

The people in the room are from the Tenth Hall of Shadow Hall, and they are also the group of men in black who attacked the Red Fox Palace of Mingmo Sect. This time, the Tenth Hall Master of Shadow Hall led all members of the team to seize the Holy Bones of the Demon Emperor. The Hall Master went to chase Hu Mengwei, and they were waiting here. They had just received a new mission not long ago, to rob and kill a woman, and the portrait of the woman was Mu Wanqian at this moment!

This is a private job taken by the Tenth Hall of the Shadow Hall. The headquarters is unaware of it. This is related to the management of the Shadow Hall. Except for the hall master who must stay in the headquarters all the time, most of the people in the other halls are hiding in other places and are managed by the deputy hall masters of each hall. In order to solve the medicines, weapons, etc. needed for their livelihood and practice, in addition to the headquarters missions, they can take private jobs, but the premise is that it does not affect the headquarters missions!

Not long ago, the Tenth Hall lurking in Youzhou was sent out on a mission to rob and kill a young lady who was visiting Yingzhou. Team Two and Team Three had already entered Yingzhou. The captain of Team One originally wanted to wait for the hall master to complete the main hall's mission before going to Yingzhou to look for the woman in the painting. What he didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the hall master, he ran into the woman in the painting!

The place where Shen Yichen and the other two arrived was near Qisong Mountain.

"Miss, how about we go first?"

Xixi whispered to Mu Wanqian, because Xixi felt that these people were very dangerous. Shen Yichen felt the same way and nodded to signal him to leave.

In fact, Mu Wanqian was also a little scared. Although these people were dressed the same as her Demon Shadow Guards, they were definitely not the Demon Shadow Guards. Mu Wanqian nodded, and the three of them prepared to leave quietly.

"Please stay, it's raining heavily outside and it's almost night. There's no place to take shelter on the road ahead!"

The captain of the team by the window turned around and said to Shen Yichen and the other two, while his hands kept changing the seals behind his back. In fact, the captain of the team was a little hesitant because he found that the second woman among the three was actually in the same realm as him - the Immortal Realm. Although her cultivation might be lower than his, she was not easy to deal with. When he was still thinking about what to do, he saw that the three were about to leave, so he decided to give it a try. After all, the opportunity was rare. If he missed it, going to Yingzhou to find someone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack! While he stopped the three people at the exit, he quietly set up a shadow maze array!

The Shadow Maze Array is a unique formation of the Shadow Hall. It traps the enemy inside the array, allowing your own people to kill people invisibly!

Shen Yichen stepped forward and said respectfully:

"We have something important to do and we are in a hurry. Thank you for reminding us!"

After saying that, he pulled the two girls out!

"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you keep going! Want to leave? It's too late!"

Along with the sound, everyone disappeared from the eyes of the three people!

"Oh my god! Another formation! My weak spot!"

Shen Yichen exclaimed inwardly.

"careful!"

Shen Yichen shouted as he pulled Mu Wanqian away and punched the fog with a Bodhi Fist.

It turned out that Shen Yichen was wrong this time. This formation was not very powerful, or he could deal with the formation set up by people with low cultivation because his spiritual sense could sense people's traces in the formation.

Just now he sensed that someone was trying to kill Mu Wanqian, so he pulled Mu Wanqian away!

The three of them stood back to back, alertly looking around. Mu Wanqian actually said something that made Shen Yichen very excited and worked hard:

"Coward, get out and I'll pay you!"
