[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

When the three of Yun Tianhe heard Huaimi's cry, they all stood up from their chairs and rushed out the door, and Shen Bailing followed.When he came to the courtyard, he saw the Huaimi brothers working together to carry a flat object and arched in through the door. The object looked like a big disc, and it was the kun he had seen many years ago. scale.

"Meow~ The elder said, since Mr. Shen is interceding, and it is rare to see someone who is willing to be benevolent to monsters, he is willing to give you the big kun scales he collected, as a reward for your help to monsters. ..." Huaimi pushed the big scale forward with her head, shook the feathers on the back of her neck and said, "Meow... this thing is so cold, if the elders hadn't cast spells on it, my brother and I would have died." They can't even touch..."

"Thank you, Huaimi." Liu Mengli knelt down and gently stroked the backs of the little Huaiyao, her eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank your elder for me too, thank him for willing to give us the Kun scale."

"Meow~ Helping friends is the right thing to do!" Huaimi rubbed Liu Mengli's palm proudly, but soon lowered her head, "But... the elder still said, he said..."

"What did he say?" Han Lingsha asked curiously while leaning over to observe the Kun scale.

Huaimi whispered dejectedly: "Meow... the elder said, there is a difference between monsters and monsters, and the person who came with you is very dangerous. If he goes and comes back, please leave immediately after you get the kun scale. Don't come to the Nest Country either..."

The three of Yun Tianhe were stunned, with a trace of sadness on their faces, but seeing that the little Huai Yao was more sad than them, they smiled and comforted them in a hurry, and it took a while to coax the little Huai Yao to feel a little better.After putting away the kun scales, Liu Mengli remembered something again, and hurriedly asked Shen Bailing: "Senior Shen, there is one thing I still don't quite understand. You said that the monsters at the bottom of the lake can't hurt people, so why are there so many people suddenly What about drowning?"

Shen Bailing explained: "This is because there are many eddies on the surface of the lake, and if those fishermen do not pay attention to row their fishing boats nearby, they will be drawn into it."

Han Lingsha was surprised and said: "That's even more strange. Tianhe and I also passed near Chaohu Lake a few months ago. At that time, we didn't hear that there was a whirlpool in the lake."

"Meow~ I know this!" Huaimi said without waiting for Shen Bailing to open his mouth, "The elder said that it is because there is a big island that flies over Chaohu Lake every 19 years, so these strange whirlpools appear , but in a few days Chaohu Lake will return to its previous appearance.”

"What huge island?" Han Lingsha became even more curious.

Huaimi shook her feathers, and said a little embarrassedly: "Meow... I don't know about that."

Shen Bailing smiled slightly: "It's about the same as Bailing Island in the middle of the lake, except that it has a fixed track and keeps moving."

Liu Mengli nodded, and said: "Then, as long as the fishermen are not allowed to come to the lake during this period, no one will drown." She pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea, "Well...how about I hurried back to Shouyang City and asked my father to issue a notice to order the people in the city and the fishermen in the nearby villages to rest for a while, then send some silver taels to subsidize, and then return to fishing after the vortex dissipates."

At that moment, the three of them discussed carefully and agreed that Yun Tianhe and Han Lingsha would take the first step and send Kunlin back to Kunlun Mountain, while Liu Mengli would return after completing the Shouyang business.Shen Bailing heard it from the side, his eyes flickered slightly, and he made a secret decision in his heart.

As it was getting late, the three of Yun Tianhe bid farewell to Shen Bailing and Huaimi brothers, and headed out of the city.The Huaimi brothers were sent all the way to the city gate before returning to the house reluctantly, but after entering the door, they found that the house was already empty, and Mr. Shen, who stayed behind for an excuse, had disappeared.

Above the lake, dusk deepened.In the sunlight, the stone walls of Shouyang City were mottled, and under a few willow trees outside the city, the figure of Shen Bailing dressed in red almost merged with the red clouds and Zhu Xia in the sky.He stood behind the tree and waited quietly.

I don't know how much time passed until the night inside the city wall gradually spread to the outside of the wall, and the two thick city gates gradually closed. At this moment, a blue-white shadow suddenly flashed from the gap between the gradually closing city gates.

That figure was slender and graceful, obviously a woman.She didn't stop walking, and she stopped after reaching a row of trees far from the city gate, only to hear Lingling's qin melody coming from her bosom, and it turned out that she was holding a harp in her hand.That girl was Liu Mengli, she left the county magistrate's mansion and left the city, planning to rush back to Qionghua faction day and night.

Shen Bailing hid behind the tree, seeing Liu Mengli holding up her palms and trying to fly away with her sword, she suddenly coughed lightly.

Liu Mengli froze, without turning her head, she said, "Since you're here, why don't you show up?"

Shen Bailing smiled slightly, and then came out from behind the tree.Liu Mengli turned around, and she didn't panic when she saw him, she still looked calm, and said calmly, "What's the business of Senior Shen here?"

"Do you really not know, or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Shen Bailing sighed, and said, "Or, you simply don't want to admit your identity?"

Liu Mengli remained motionless, but a strange look flashed in her eyes: "Senior..."

"Don't call me senior, I don't dare to be." Shen Bailing shook his head lightly, "If my guess is right, you may just call me... elder brother."

A trace of surprise flashed quickly in the girl's glazed eyes, and she stared at Shen Bailing in a daze: "You said you are...me too..."

"Exactly. I'm a demon, so naturally you are too." Shen Bailing nodded deeply with certainty, "You are not only a demon, but also a very honorable young master of the tapir demon family in the Illusory Darkness Realm."

"The tapir demon..." Liu Mengli repeated in a low voice, her face constantly changing, and it took a long time before she heard her sigh softly, "I... I have always felt that I am different from others since I was young. I heard some voices that other people can’t hear, and I can do things that ordinary people can’t do... At that time, I often dreamed that I was in a very strange place, which did not belong to any part of the human world, and was filled with purple all the year round. There is a heavy fog, and there are many purple monsters... So it turns out that I am really different from my father, mother, Tianhe, Lingsha, and Ziying..."

Shen Bailing looked at the gloomy girl in front of him, and felt pity in his heart.Once upon a time, when he remembered his real life experience and realized that he was actually a monster but not a human, didn't he also feel so restless?

"Mengli, I've been looking for you for 19 years." Shen Bailing looked at her gently, with the expression of an older brother, "That day, the Illusionary Realm was in great chaos, so I entrusted you to Junior Brother Yun Tianqing, who would have expected him Actually took you out of the Illusory World, your mother was very anxious when she found out that you were missing, and all of this was caused by me, but luckily, I finally found you."

"...Mother?" After a while, Liu Mengli asked softly, "She...is she still alive?"

Shen Bailing nodded: "Yes. She was seriously injured, but she is probably fine now. You can go back with me. If I see you, she and the tapir demons in the Illusory World will be very happy, and my sins can be forgiven a little bit. Lightened up."

"I..." Liu Mengli frowned even tighter.

Shen Bailing slightly suppressed her smile, frowned and said, "Could it be that you don't want to go to the Illusory World with me, and don't want to see your mother?"

"No!" Liu Mengli raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of confusion, "It's not that I don't want to go back... I just, I just want to see Mr. Yun and the others, I want to say goodbye to them..."

"Okay, then let's set off for the Qionghua Sect in Kunlun Mountain. When we say goodbye to Yun Tianhe and the others, you can follow me back to the Illusionary World." Shen Bailing asked softly, "Is that good?"

Liu Mengli lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

Shen Bailing immediately called out the Chunshui sword, and flew northwestward with Liu Mengli Yujian, and arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in a few days.The closer she got to the Qionghua faction along the way, the paler Liu Mengli's face became. Shen Bailing saw it in her eyes and knew her farewell. She was afraid that she would never see those close friends again, and felt pity in her heart. She couldn't help but want to persuade her , but he can't even dispel his own knots, how can he persuade others?In the end, thousands of words turned into a sigh.

The two rested overnight in Boxian Town, and went to Taiyi Immortal Path the next day.When he arrived outside the mountain gate, Shen Bailing couldn't help but feel a little strange: Why are there no disciples guarding the gate in front of the mountain gate? Could it be that they were lazy and hid elsewhere?But this reason is too far-fetched no matter how it is explained, Qionghua School has always had very strict school rules, and Suyao has always been very strict, how could any disciple dare to be so presumptuous?

Accompanying Liu Mengli through the front of the Qionghua Palace and arriving at the Sword Dance Ground, Shen Bailing was more and more surprised. He had never seen a Qionghua disciple along the way. In his memory, the Qionghua Sect had never seen such a neglected scene, and Not to mention that there are always many deacon disciples guarding in front of Qionghua Palace, even on the sword dance floor there will never be a figure practicing sword practice, and now no one is missing. A little bit of uneasiness was born.

Liu Mengli was so preoccupied that she didn't notice these trivial matters at all.She walked straight through Jianwuping and arrived at a row of houses. Shen Bailing had lived here for more than ten years, so she naturally knew that this was where all the disciples lived.I saw Liu Mengli walked to one of the houses with two stone lions in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, then turned to him and said: "Brother Shen..., please wait for me here for a while." Then she turned and opened the door.

With a glance, Shen Bailing saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the couch in the room. The person had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, vaguely representing Yun Tianhe's back, but before he could make a detailed identification, the door was gently closed, and his The line of sight is blocked.

After about a few cups of tea, Shen Bailing could only faintly hear the voices in the room continuing uninterrupted, feeling a little anxious in his heart, and thought to himself: How can this little girl Mengli and Yun Tianhe have so much to say?Alas, she was probably thinking that she would never see him again, so she wanted to tell Yun Tianhe everything she could say, but there are many old friends from Qionghua faction who know me, if I stay with her any longer, I'm afraid it's not good...

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden shaking of the mountain, which was mixed with countless chaotic sounds.Shen Bailing was taken aback, Fang barely stood up straight, suddenly his whole body was shaken, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Juanyuntai.At this glance, his complexion turned pale in an instant.

In the distant sky, two sword lights suddenly shot up, one blue and one red, intertwined and straight into the clouds. The scene was exactly the same as the scene he saw with his own eyes on the Juanyun platform 19 years ago.He stared blankly in shock, but his body gradually trembled.

The sword pillar is about to be completed, the net binds the demon world... Is the war with the illusion world about to start again?
