Zhou Sheng, the real trump card of the Shangqing Taoist Academy, a strong man in the land of gods, is one of the few people who can really decide the life and death of the Kyushu continent. However, in order to save their disciple Wen Fengming, they fought with the sea of life and death and died on the spot.
This matter is now known to the whole world.
However, who would have thought that this dead immortal would now appear in an unknown mountain range. If the rumor spread, it would probably cause huge waves again.
Zhou Sheng was now stooped, leaning on a crooked cane made from an unknown tree. There was no trace of any fluctuation in his cultivation. He looked like an old mortal man.
He glanced at the man in the iron mask with complicated eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just said thank you.
The man in the iron mask had no expression on his face, then turned around and disappeared.
It was quiet all around except for the chirping of birds, beasts and insects.
But Jiang Ning's hearing is now the same as before, so he can hear the breath mixed with the chirping of insects and birds.
It's the old man, he's still there, and he's staring at him.
Jiang Ning calmed down, slowly got up from the ground, and said: "Old senior, I don't know why you caught me here?"
Zhou Sheng did not answer, but slowly walked to the stone bench next to him. After sitting down, he poured himself a cup of tea, and then slowly said with a half-smile: "Didn't that person tell you just now?"
That person just now? The man in the iron mask?
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and said, "That senior said he wanted to kill me."
"Then you still ask?" Zhou Sheng said.
Jiang Ning paused, shook his head and said, "Because this junior doesn't feel like it."
Zhou Sheng said oh, and his smile seemed to grow stronger: "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Ning heard that there was no malice in the other party's tone, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If you want to kill me, a useless person, there is no need to go to so much trouble, and there is no need to make enemies of the seven sects. Once found, the cost will be too high, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Zhou Sheng stared at his tea cup, gently blew the tea leaves floating on it, and said: "Then what do you think I want to do by bringing you here?"
Jiang Ning shook his head and said: "I don't know, my senior is an expert in this world. What he thinks and does in his heart is beyond the reach of a mere mortal like me."
Zhou Sheng was speechless.
"You can stay here peacefully today. I have something to arrange with you tomorrow." After saying that, Zhou Sheng drank tea in peace and ignored Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning waited for a moment and saw that the other party didn't say anything else, so he had to fumble to get up and start exploring around.
Because he was blind and handicapped, he fell down several times during the exploration, and because the old man didn't tell where his room was, he could only explore randomly until the moon was over, but he still couldn't find the location.
During this process, Jiang Ning wanted to ask for the direction of his room several times, but in the end he chose not to ask. Zhou Sheng saw that he did not ask and did not remind him, leaving Jiang Ning to explore on his own.
The sun and moon turn around, and the sky becomes clear again.
At this time, it had been a day and a night since Jiang Ning arrived here. During this day and night of persistence, he finally touched the wall of the wooden house, and then groped along the wall to the open door.
Seeing that the old man still didn't say anything to stop him, he entered the wooden house and used it as his resting place.
However, after finally tidying up the bed, Jiang Ning's stomach began to growl again.
Now he has no cultivation and is no different from ordinary people, so he needs to eat.
In the past, at Shangqing Taoist Temple, a Taoist boy would bring him meals at every meal time, but now, he can only rely on himself.
As for the old man, Jiang Ning had no plans at all.
After another groping, Jiang Ning found the kitchen. When he touched it, he found pots and pans. But before he could be happy, he found that there seemed to be no firewood, rice, sauce, and vinegar in the kitchen. In other words, he still had to make some.
Go out to find something to eat.
But after all this hard work, it was already dark, which meant that Jiang Ning had not eaten or drank for nearly three days and one night. The fatigue was now coming in waves like a tidal wave, like a ferocious beast that wanted to devour him.
Hungry, cold, and exhausted, he finally sat down against the door railing.
There is a cool breeze and the sound of frogs is heard.
Jiang Ning recalled his experience from the sea of life and death to the present, and for the first time he hated himself.
If he hadn't been blind, why would he be living such a hard life now?
"Perhaps death is really my only destination now."
Just as Jiang Ning was thinking about it, an old voice suddenly came from the side.
"Why, do you want to give up?"
It’s Zhou Sheng.
However, Jiang Ning didn't react at all, and just said calmly: "Senior, you're still up so late, so you came here specifically to see my joke?"
Zhou Sheng heard the resentment in his tone, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Are you beginning to hate yourself? The once majestic Yang Shen Daxiu has now fallen into such a state. It must feel uncomfortable.
Bar."
Jiang Ning remained calm on the surface, but his remaining right arm clenched his fist tightly.
Zhou Sheng continued as if he didn't notice: "I heard that you went to the Sea of Life and Death to save Wu Shiyi, an abandoned disciple of the Wanjie Sword Sect. What is your relationship with him? Do you ever regret it now or hate him?"
Wu Shiyi...a face appeared in Jiang Ning's mind.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please wait for me here for three days. I will send you out to sea at this time in three days."
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't panic, Mr. Wu invites you to watch a feast today, please be patient and watch."
"I have already said that I am the most outstanding and youngest swordsman in the Nine Provinces continent in a hundred years, no one..."
Scenes of the Stone Ghost Town in Sendai under the sea of life and death flashed in Jiang Ning's mind.
"What is his relationship with me? Should I regret it? Should I hate him..." Jiang Ning murmured.
"Why did I go to the Sea of Life and Death in the first place? If I hadn't gone, I should be traveling around the world now, being free and unrestrained. Or maybe, I would retreat somewhere and hit the semi-fairyland." Thinking of this, Jiang Ning showed a self-deprecating smile on his face.
Why go to the Sea of Life and Death? Of course it’s for the sake of righteousness!
He and Wu Shiyi met in the Nirvana Ghost City. In order to save himself, he brazenly drew a sword against Cui Yuanwai, a life-threatening ghost. Later, in the sea of life and death, he burned his soul and performed a unique sword, just to send himself out to sea.
Such a person is certainly worth saving, so how can he regret it and hate him?
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ning dismissed the images in his mind and said with a smile: "He and I are brothers who have known each other through fate. I have no regrets and no hatred!"
Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "Seriously?"
"really!"
"If it's true, then why are you slumped here and thinking about death? Could it be that you don't want to go to the sea of life and death to save Wu Shiyi anymore?"
Jiang Ning laughed dumbly and said: "Senior, you are really good at joking. I'm like this now. Let alone the sea of life and death, I can't survive even a day after leaving your place. Where can you expect me to go?"
Zhou Sheng agreed with his words and nodded: "It is true, you are already a useless person, but there are many miracles in this world. It can even be said that the meaning of some people's lives is to create miracles, and you
, could he also be this kind of person?"
Some people live just to create miracles?
Jiang Ning laughed.
"Senior, you really dare to say anything. How could I, a blind and crippled person, let you say such a thing?"
Facing Jiang Ning's ridicule, Zhou Sheng put away his smile and said seriously: "Because you are the first Yang Shen Xiaoxiu to come out of the Sea of Life and Death alive since the birth of the Nine Provinces Continent."
"No matter who rescues you and takes you out, you, Yang Shen realm cultivation level, come out alive, this is a fact, a fact that no one can change!"
