Just as Xuan Shuzhi said, after Hua Shi came out of Lingge, he saw Zhou Li waiting outside.
After half a year, Zhou Li has indeed changed a lot. He became a disciple of Hanxi Sect and practiced swordsmanship. Now he is much taller than before and seems to be darker and thinner. However, he has a sharp sword spirit all over his body and seems to have a bit more immortal aura for some reason.
Compared to Zhou Li, who has an immortal look, Hua Shi's growth in the past six months is...
"Half a year since we last met, you seem to be a lot whiter and your skin is much better than before? It seems that Xuanling Pavilion is really more nourishing." Zhou Li came to Hua Shi's side, patted his shoulder and continued to look at him: "But why do you seem to have lost weight?"
Hua Shi: “…”
No one would have gained weight after being beaten every other day in the past six months, and if Zhou Li were told that his skin had become whiter and better, no one would believe it. All these changes were achieved by applying ointment every day.
Although Xuan Shuzhi was quick and ruthless in beating people, the medicine he gave was absolutely good, otherwise he would not have recovered so quickly and could continue to endure the torture.
If you apply the medicine for a long time, it will naturally become like this.
The two of them left home together to attend the Spirit Transformation Conference. Their relationship was originally normal, but because of their similar family backgrounds and experiences, they began to communicate with each other after they entered the master's sect. Over time, their relationship became much closer than before.
Thinking back to what happened half a year ago, both of them couldn't help but feel emotional.
Zhou Li was amazed that who could have known that the two young masters who left home half a year ago have now become the best in their respective sects and are able to stand on their own.
What Hua Shi was sighing about was that who would have thought that the two young masters who left home half a year ago were now suffering so much outside.
Hua Shi expressed his desire to go home for the umpteenth time in his heart, but unfortunately, if he didn't force himself to go home now, he would have to follow Zhou Li to dangerous places to carry out dangerous missions.
He thought so, and after reminiscing with Zhou Li, he asked, "By the way, isn't there another person? Where is Junior Sister Yuxing?"
More people always mean more protection. After all, the disciple named Yuxing is said to be the strongest disciple among the entire young generation.
Hua Shi asked this, and Zhou Li said, "Yu Xing came here with me. She thought the scenery of Xuanling Pavilion was nice, so she was taken there by Senior Brother Zhou Xun from your sect. She should be back soon."
As the two were talking, Senior Brother Zhou Xun came back with Yu Xing.
Hua Shi had seen this famous figure at the Spiritual Transformation Conference before, and had also seen the crazy scene when the major sects competed for this person. Of course, he knew how strong this plain-looking female disciple was. So when he saw Yu Xing at this time, he couldn't help but feel excited as if he had seen a legend. He took a step forward and was about to say hello, but who knew that before he could open his mouth, Yu Xing, who was opposite him, saw him, his eyes lit up and walked over first: "You are Brother Hua Shi!"
Hua Shi: “?”
Before Hua Shi could figure out what was going on, Yu Xing took two steps forward and grabbed Hua Shi's sleeve, saying excitedly, "I finally meet you! Although we met at the Spiritual Transformation Conference, we were too far apart. Now we finally meet in person!"
Hua Shi's sleeve was pulled by Yu Xing, and I had not had time to retract the smile that I had just put on my face. At this time, facing Yu Xing's enthusiasm, I couldn't help feeling a little confused.
When Zhou Li interrupted Yu Xing reluctantly and made his words clear, Hua Shi realized that this young lady, who was a prominent figure, had no awareness of being a disciple of the younger generation of masters. She never felt how strong she was. She didn't know why she regarded him, a scoundrel, as an object of admiration.
"No, why do you think I'm so powerful?" Hua Shi was very confused after hearing the explanation.
Yu Xing said as a matter of course: "I admire the Lord of Fengyu Palace very much. For him to be favored and snatched away, and for four masters to snatch her away at the same time, Senior Brother Hua Shi must be extraordinary."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that the Lord of Fengyu Palace doesn't think highly of me and has no intention of accepting me as his disciple. But my current master is also very good."
Hua Shi was even more confused: "Why do you worship Lu Yao? Isn't he just a drunkard? And aren't you a disciple of the Spiritual Dao?"
Yu Xing smiled and blinked, and did not continue to explain the matter. At this time, other disciples also rushed over, all of them came to see Yu Xing and Zhou Li, the two outstanding young disciples. Naturally, their conversation could not continue, and Hua Shi could only give up.
Then everyone chatted for a while, but because Hua Shi and the other three still had tasks to complete, they didn't spend too long.
Xuan Shuzhi did not see them off this time. He had already told Hua Shi everything that needed to be said in advance. However, he only sent a disciple to greet them, and Hua Shi and his companions left Xuanling Pavilion immediately.
Before leaving, Hua Shi looked back at the high attic of Ling Pavilion, thinking back to the painting hidden deep in the attic, and couldn't help but ask the system in his mind: "Is that painting about something that happened in the past?"
He recalled the people in the painting that he had seen and those that he had not seen, and asked again, “Where are those people now?”
The system did not respond, and Hua Shi had long been accustomed to it. He turned around, mounted his horse, and set off with Zhou Li and the others. It was not until the only two attic roofs hidden by trees in Xuanling Pavilion were left in his sight that he heard the system's response: "Perhaps you will meet them in the future."
Or maybe some of them are no longer here.
Fang Wei couldn't say the last words.
He remained silent all the way as he followed Hua Shi to Frost Forest Valley. Now he thought that he had completely understood Xuan Shuzhi's thoughts. Letting Hua Shi go to Ling Pavilion and allowing him to enter the room on the seventh floor was not a coincidence, but something Xuan Shuzhi did on purpose.
In fact, Fang Wei also knew that Xuan Shuzhi did not want to attract Hua Shi to walk into the seventh floor. His real intention was to let himself see this painting.
Fang Wei didn't say a word on the way. Hua Shi chatted with the system for a long time but couldn't get any response. In the end, he could only run to chat with Yu Xing and Zhou Li helplessly.
Unfortunately, chatting on horseback was a very difficult thing. They were shaking violently on the horses along the way. The sound of horse hooves and wind was accompanied by the sound of talking. Hua Shi could only communicate with others by shouting. After a few times, not only could the other party not hear what he said, but his throat also hurt badly. So he finally gave up on this matter and traveled the whole day alone in depression.
They arrived at the Frost Forest Valley two days later. This place lived up to its name, as the entire valley was covered with bright red maples. If it had not happened recently and the mysterious and strange sounds coming from the valley from time to time, this place would probably have become a popular sightseeing spot in the Xuanqing Continent.
Hua Shi and his companions had heard about the strange situation in Frost Forest Valley long before they set out. They knew that strange noises were often heard here, and they also knew that this operation was not dangerous.
But when they actually arrived here and heard the sound coming from the valley, they realized that the sound was far more terrifying and strange than they had imagined.
The voice came from the deepest part of the valley, accompanied by countless distant echoes. Sometimes it sounded like miserable crying, sometimes like gentle murmurs, and sometimes like solemn and majestic chanting. All kinds of sounds kept changing, making Hua Shi and others who had been chatting and laughing at the entrance of the valley suddenly stop laughing.
"What on earth is that sound?" Not only Hua Shi, who was always timid, but even Zhou Li became a little nervous when he heard the sound.
Although Yu Xing was a woman, she was somehow braver than the two boys. She listened carefully for a while, frowned and said slowly: "Before I came here, I heard from Master that they thought there must be a demon beast causing trouble here, but now it sounds like a human voice."
Hua Shi was also listening, but he didn't consider as many things as Yu Xing. He only wanted to do one thing, which was to turn around and leave.
No matter how you look at it, the situation in Frost Forest Valley before you looks like the ultimate big devil is about to make his appearance, but they currently only have three disciples who have only been in the sect for over half a year. No matter how you look at it, they don't look like they can deal with this guy in the valley.
Hua Shi was the first to raise an opinion: "I think the situation here has changed. The intelligence we received at the beginning was insufficient. It is best for us to retreat to a nearby town and stay there, pass the news back to our respective sects, and wait for the commander to make a decision. What do you think?"
Yu Xing didn't seem to notice what Hua Shi said. He just continued with a serious expression: "If the other party is not a monster, then why would he stay here? And make such a commotion? Is he trying to deliberately lure people over here?"
Zhou Li also frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he has some reason to do this, for example..."
Yuxing's eyes lit up: "He's asking for help?"
Zhou Li nodded immediately: "It's very likely."
Hua Shi: “…”
He just watched Zhou Li and Yu Xing finish their conversation one after another, and then the two of them took out their weapons and excitedly prepared to break into the forest to meet the "poor man trapped in the forest trying to help."
Hua Shi felt that this idea was very dangerous: "Don't you really want to inform your master first..."
Yu Xing said, "It's too late. I don't know how long that person has been trapped in there. If we go back to inform the master and wait for a reply, several more days will have passed. I don't think things here should be delayed any further. There is no need to inform the master about things we can handle."
"That's right, and we have talismans on us. There are also formations in this Frost Forest Valley. No matter what happens, we can handle it." Zhou Li also said the same thing.
Looking at these two people, Hua Shi couldn't help feeling a little helpless. It was okay for Zhou Li, as a disciple of the spiritual way, to be full of righteousness, but Yu Xing seemed to have forgotten that he was now a disciple of the evil way. How could he be so righteous?
He watched the two men enter the Frost Forest Valley with weapons in hand, and had no choice but to follow their footsteps. He still asked the system with uncertainty in his heart: "What is inside the Frost Forest Valley? Will we be in danger?"
Fang Wei had been watching the conversation between the three people before, and now responded to Hua Shi's words with a smile in her tone: "Don't worry."
Things in the Frost Forest Valley were indeed a little strange, but he did not sense any demonic aura from it, nor any overly powerful spiritual power. It just seemed that there was something hidden deep in the fog in the valley, and that thing even had a vaguely familiar feeling to Fang Wei.
Fang Wei wanted to find out the source of this aura. Even if Yu Xing and Zhou Li did not bring Hua Shi into the valley, he would make up a mission to let Hua Shi enter.
The scenery in the Frost Forest Valley is extremely beautiful, but the three people walking among the layers of red maples have solemn expressions. Fang Wei looks at Hua Shi's alert look as he looks around, and then he remembers that this young master seems to be going down the mountain for training for the first time.
Fang Wei was silent for a moment, and finally took the initiative to comfort: "It will be fine. Even if something happens, the host still has the Yunxiu Pen with him. He can escape into the Yunxiu Pen space at any time and escape from danger."
Hua Shi stopped in his tracks and was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had actually forgotten this function.
