Shen Wei once chased Shi Lei, so Shi Lei was very familiar with her and his figures. Although they passed by him briefly, he would never mistake them.
"The Shen family discovered many corpses, but only Shen Wei and Shen Ji were missing. Sure enough, they are still alive, but what is their relationship with the Shadow Sect?" Shi Lei frowned.
"This man's aura is very strange, not like an ordinary human being." Wuji also noticed Shen Wei's figure, "Do you know him?"
Shi Lei nodded and asked Wuji to place a layer of restrictions first, and then told a series of strange things about the Shen family in Qingyun County, and specifically mentioned Shenyang.
"It seems that this Shen Wei does not belong to human beings, but he does not have the aura of a demon, so what is he? It is said that there were many races ten thousand years ago, such as demons, spirits, blood, orcs, etc. The descendants of immortals...are just legends, and I don’t even know if some of them actually existed." Wuji was obviously surprised after hearing this.
"Well, no matter what, they must have an astonishing purpose in raising demons, and the Shadow Gate is so close to the Bottomless Thunder Abyss. Is it also related to the demons sealed below?" Shi Lei guessed, Shen Wei's appearance gave him a very bad feeling.
Since the Shen family can be connected with a sect such as Yingmen, which has a martial sage in charge, then the Shen family must have had a purpose in coming to Qingyun County hundreds of years ago, but it is not certain whether this purpose was achieved.
Since Shen Wei is here, Shen Ji is probably also here, but where has the demonized Shen Yang gone? Is he with them or has he escaped?
Many questions came flooding in, making Shi Lei's head feel a little swollen and painful, and he tried to calm down.
"Don't think too much now. When we have the chance to capture it, everything will be clear." Wuji patted Shi Lei on the shoulder, "Let's go find the Thunder Blood Grass and then go back. Even if that Shen Wei is here We don’t dare to act casually in front of us.”
Shi Lei nodded. Now he is still guessing about many things. What the specific things are really like can only be known by catching them and asking them one by one, but not now.
Shi Lei seemed a little absent-minded along the way. Most of the elixirs were found by Wuji. After the two returned to Lei Zong, they went to Wuji again to discuss the matter.
"When the master fought against the Shadow Sect's Martial Saint, he once said that their behavior was very weird. It seems that the Shen Wei you are talking about must have a close relationship with the Shadow Sect, and is carrying out some kind of plan that can span several major states. , It seems that the plan is not small." Wuliang said with a serious face.
"What you said is right, and the Shadow Sect is too low-key. There must be something fishy here. Lei'er said that they used their clansmen to feed a member of the Demon Clan. What exactly does the Shadow Sect want to do?" Wuji glanced at Shi Lei, who also had a look on his face. of confusion.
Wuliang took out an ancient dharma plate, then made a hexagram and waited for the result.
After three breaths, Wu Liang looked at the hexagram surface and his expression changed.
"This hexagram shows a great evil, and it is not for an individual, but for everyone in the world." Wuliang said in a deep voice, "It seems that we need to ask the master and the others for instructions. I hope we can find out the truth. Avoid a catastrophe."
Wuji also nodded, gave Shi Lei a few instructions, and then left with Wuliang.
"What kind of terrifying existence is this Shen family, and what is the purpose of coming to Qingyun County in the first place?" Shi Lei murmured, with an ominous premonition rising in his heart.
…
"Boss, I didn't expect that being a commander is quite enjoyable. I brag and drink with my subordinates every day. I live a comfortable life. How have you been these days? Now everyone in the sect is discussing you.
He said that he was accepted as a disciple by Wu Da Neng, and he was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred." Da Jin came to Shi Lei's residence and brought five jars of fine wine.
"Really? I've been busy refining weapons recently, so I haven't heard anything. But it doesn't matter. Just let them go. Where did you get this wine?" Shi Lei patted the seal of the wine jar,
The mellow aroma of wine wafted out, "Yeah, not bad."
"Hey, hey... when I was patrolling the Thirty-Fifth Peak that day, I met a seventh-level ape. He was helping people make wine there. So I asked him for a few bottles of century-old wine." Dajin picked up a wine jar and drank.
He took a sip and said, "Don't tell me, this guy's wine is really good."
In the Lei Sect, there are also some demon beasts who serve. Some are worshiped under the Lei Sect due to lack of talent, and some have been raised by people in the sect since they were young and have stayed there ever since.
"Happy!" Shi Lei raised his head and drank a few mouthfuls, feeling refreshed.
"Boss, is there something wrong with you?" Dajin asked in a low voice when he saw something was wrong with Shi Lei's expression.
"Haha, Daijin, who is not worried? Let us two brothers have a good drink today." Shi Lei took out some appetizers and drank from two large bowls.
They drank one bowl after another, and slowly the three jars of wine were finished by the two of them.
"Come again." Shi Lei opened another jar, filled the porcelain bowl, touched it with Da Jin, raised his head and poured it down.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Do you miss your family?" Da Jin also drank it up in one gulp and poured it for Shi Lei.
Shi Lei nodded and shook his head before finishing another bowl.
"Dajin, there are some things you don't understand. In fact, being a Warcraft is much happier than being a human. I have restricted your freedom for so many years. Do you blame me?" Shi Lei was a little drunk. If he circulates his Qi,
No matter how much you drink to get rid of the alcohol, you won't get drunk, but Shi Lei didn't, he just wanted to get drunk for a while.
"I definitely did at first, but slowly it turned from resentment to gratitude and admiration." Dajin drank a bowl and continued, "Although you are much younger than me, I sincerely call you
Boss, it’s because I admire you and respect you from the bottom of my heart. It’s not because of how strong you are, but because you regard me as a brother, which makes me never feel like a slave. So you, the boss, and I, Dajin,
I’ve decided on it for the rest of my life.”
"Then do you miss those relatives in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts?" Shi Lei nodded and asked himself, he was still worthy of Dai Jin and Ziyun Centipede.
"Although we are Warcraft, we still have emotions, but we are more open-minded. It has only been a short period of more than ten years. Some of us can sleep through it, so we don't miss it particularly." Dajin said carelessly.
Shi Lei nodded, patted the last jar away, and drank another large bowl.
"Sometimes, I feel really tired. I have been practicing since I was a child, and I have been practicing again and again. Apart from revenge on those who have laughed at me, I don't know what I want. It wasn't until the invasion of the Bray family that I deeply understood the importance of strength, because
Only when you become stronger can you protect the ones you love and the people who love you."
"If it hadn't been for the appearance of the Snow Mastiff, I think our Shi family would have been ruined by now. Of course, external power is limited after all, and we can't always rely on the strength of others, so I have to continue to become stronger, even with my parents, Qianruo, and Xi'er.
There is no time to wait for others, every day is boring practice, no fun at all."
"Sometimes I wish I was just a child from an ordinary family. I don't have to practice martial arts, don't have to take revenge, and don't have to fight. When I was young, I could play and have fun. When I got older, I could marry a wife and have a bunch of children. Then I would grow old a hundred years later and live an ordinary life.
That's it." Shi Lei drank the large bowl of wine in one gulp and kept talking.
Dai Jin looked at Shi Lei and suddenly felt that he didn't understand him well enough. After all, Shi Lei was just a young man in his twenties, but the burden on his shoulders was dozens of times that of his peers.
Unlike me, who was born as the king of golden-winged eagles and lived a carefree life in the Valley of Beasts. If it weren't for the giant centipede competing for territory with me and being forced to sign a master-servant agreement by Mr. Yuan, I would probably still be living day after day today.
Living a life of wine and meat.
But one thing is certain, if it weren't for Shi Lei, he would never have reached the eighth level. He might have stayed in the Valley of Beasts all his life until he died, living a meaningless life.
Dai Jin could understand, but he couldn't understand Shi Lei's mood. The road to growth must be difficult, and strong people are mostly lonely. When they want to gain, they must lose something at the same time.
"Boss, tell me whatever you have... and you'll feel better if you say it..." Dajin was also a little drunk.
"Haha, it's nothing. I'm just complaining... if you hadn't used your golden blood to save me, I might have died long ago." Shi Lei was a little hazy. The five jars of wine were completely consumed and he was drunk.
"Why are you saying these things? Without you... I still wouldn't have reached the eighth level." Dajin took out another jar of wine, "I originally took six jars from the ape, but today we will drink to our heart's content."
The sound of the clinking wine bowls came to mind again in the secret room, and the two of them talked intermittently.
…
"Uh, my head hurts." The next day, Shi Lei woke up lying on the stone table, his head felt like it was about to explode, so he had to use his true energy to eliminate the excess alcohol odor.
Only then did he realize that Dajin was still lying on the ground, still sleeping deeply.
After Dajin woke up, he quickly went on patrol, but his men were still waiting for him.
Shi Lei looked at the six empty wine jars and smiled bitterly. It turned out that the feeling of being drunk was not pleasant.
"No matter what, since some things cannot be changed, then face it bravely. Men, always have to bear more! Don't surrender to your natural height, challenge every step of life!" Shi Lei clenched his fist and readjusted.
With a good attitude, I started a new day of practice.
Another three months have passed, and Shi Lei can now control thunder and lightning as thick as his arm. The progress is so fast that even Wuji is amazed.
As for the shadow gate, Wuji has sent people to monitor it for a long time, and will notify you immediately if there is any change.
However, in recent days, Wuji and Wuliang seemed very busy, and their expressions were very serious. Some strong foreigners came to Lei Sect intermittently, some of them were stronger than Wuji, and there were even martial saints.
"The restrictions on the Bottomless Thunder Abyss have actually been loosened. It seems that the demon power is about to break through the seal and come out." Wuji told Shi Lei, "Now, all the major sects and aristocratic families on the mainland have sent people to explore the truth. It is estimated that within a year, there will be something.
