In the silent night, two carriages slowly left Xuelai City, one in front of the other.
Xue Lai City was the closest Merchant Union city to the Dead Swamp. Between Xue Lai City and the Dead Swamp, there was only a forest with not too tall trees. There was a path in the forest for merchants and mercenaries to travel.
In the carriage in front, Chu Ping's expression was wooden as he waved the horsewhip, not too fast nor too slow.
Inside the carriage, from time to time, the low laughter of Zuo Shi and Wu Yun Lian could be heard. These two girls seemed to be very relaxed, laughing and chatting along the way.
In the carriage at the back, Han Feng and Ku Long sat in front of the carriage, occasionally saying a few words.
Most of the time, the two were vigilantly watching their surroundings, as if they had never relaxed.
In the carriage, Shi Yan was silent.
For more than ten days, Shi Yan didn't leave the carriage except for his normal meals.
Every time he came out for a meal, his face was haggard, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, as if he was worried about something.
Late at night.
The two carriages stopped beside a small river in the forest. Zuo Shi and Wu Yun Lian leisurely got off the carriage, and went to the river to wash their faces and fill a cup of water.
Not long after, Zuo Shi and Wu Yun Lian came back after washing their faces and fetching water. However, they found that the Shi family's carriage was completely silent.
"What is that guy doing?"
Wu Yun Lian stared at the Shi family's carriage in a daze, her charming face full of confusion, "I haven't seen him come out of the carriage this whole time. Other than eating and drinking, he seems to stay in the carriage the whole time. Every time he comes out, he looks absent-minded, as if he's thinking about something. … What a strange kid. "
"He's always been a strange person." Zuo Shi nodded in agreement, "Guys who study ancient relics and ancient texts are all strange. I don't know what's in their heads."
Wu Yun Lian giggled, "Little Shi, you don't say, this guy is really different from the others. Which of the young men who walked with you in the past didn't surround you like flies? I can't even chase him away! It's been more than ten days, but he hasn't even looked at you once. He doesn't even seem to be bothered to get off the carriage. How rare. "
"Don't mind him. He is indeed a strange person." Zuo Shi was stunned. After hearing Wu Yunlian's words, she realized that it was indeed the case. Shi Yan really didn't look her in the eye along the way.
Although Zuo Shi was not a narcissistic person, she also knew that her appearance was extraordinary. This could be seen from the attitude of other young men towards her.
As for Shi Yan, he was still young and full of emotions. Logically speaking, he should not be immune to such customs. Why was he acting so strangely?
No matter what kind of woman she was, she would be calculative in this aspect. Zuo Shi was no exception. While she was puzzled, she also felt indignant for herself.
"Give me some water." Shi Yan's indifferent voice came from the Shi family's carriage.
Ku Long was stunned. He looked at Han Feng and said, "Lunatic, do you still have water?"
Han Feng shook his head and pointed at Wu Yun Lian and Zuo Shi, who were walking slowly towards them. He said, "These days, they have been carrying water."
Ku Long stretched his head and looked at Wu Yun Lian with a smile. He said, "Sister, give me some water. My young master is thirsty."
"Tell him to come down and get it himself." Zuo Shi pouted and snorted, "Staying in the carriage every day, he doesn't even care about the smell. What a weirdo."
Ku Long smiled embarrassedly and approached the carriage. He said, "Young Master Yan, Miss Zuo asked you to go down and drink some water."
"Oh."
Shi Yan responded indifferently. He slowly opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage with a haggard face.
His expression was dull and his eyes were filled with deep confusion. He seemed to be trying to find a solution to the problem.
Without thinking, he slowly walked to Zuo Shi and grabbed a bag of water from Zuo Shi's hand. He raised his head and gulped it down.
After drinking it, Shi Yan handed the bag to Zuo Shi, who was full of anger. He turned around and walked back to the Shi family's carriage. He murmured, "Why does this water smell so good? Strange …"
"Shi Yan!"
Zuo Shi blushed and said angrily, "The water bag you took is mine! Not your Shi family's! "
Shi Yan was startled by her scream. He immediately woke up from his deep study of the Seal of Life and Death. He looked at her strangely and said, "What does it matter?"
"Xiao Shi just drank from this water bag. Hehe, of course it smells good." Wu Yunlian smiled sweetly and said as if wanting to see the world in chaos, "Who knows, the water you drank had some saliva from the corner of Xiao Shi's mouth."
"Aunt Lian!" Zuo Shi blushed and stamped her feet, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ku Long and Chu Ping were stunned and their expressions became strange. Even Han Feng quietly raised his head and looked in their direction.
But soon, the three pretended to know nothing and went about their own business. They didn't seem to hear Wu Yun Lian and didn't see the blush on Zuo Shi's face.
Shi Yan reacted immediately but pretended to be confused. He grinned and said, "It's okay. I'm not a particular person. I won't mind your saliva."
Then, ShiYan elegantly turned around and went back into the carriage without showing his head again.
"Haha! Hahahaha! "
Wu Yunlian laughed so hard that her towering breasts were trembling. She suddenly felt that ShiYan was not that boring after all. Sometimes, this little rascal would say something that could make people unable to restrain their laughter.
ZuoShi was stunned. She opened her eyes wide and said angrily after a while, "ShiYan! You bastard! "
"Uncle Han, we can go now." Shi Yan ordered calmly from inside the carriage.
"Oh." Han Feng's lips curled into a strange smile. He urged Ku Long beside him, "Let's go."
The Shi family's carriage moved slowly. For the first time, it passed the Zuo family's carriage and slowly moved forward.
Zuo Shi stood there alone, her face blushing. She looked at Wu Yun Lian, then looked at Chu Ping, who had his head lowered in silence, and said angrily, "Xiao! What's so funny! It's not funny at all! You guys are so boring! "
After saying that, Zuo Shi ran into the carriage as if she was escaping and said angrily, "Uncle Ping, hurry up and drive! Hit the Shi family's carriage. I'll teach that bastard a lesson! "
Chu Ping was stunned and looked at Wu Yun Lian pitifully.
Wu Yun Lian smiled and shook her head. She also got into the carriage and comforted her, "Alright, Xiao Shi. He didn't mean it. Don't lower yourself to his level."
"That's too much! How dare he say that about me … about me … "Zuo Shi snorted angrily, but she was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.
…
Shi Yan didn't care about this little episode at all.
In the carriage, he frowned and leaned against the carriage board. Strange runes were flashing in his eyes.
The words of the ancient Seal of Life and Death were spinning in his mind.
During this period of time, ShiYan had spent almost all of his energy on comprehending the Seal of Life and Death.
Even when he was eating, he didn't rest. He kept trying to understand the cultivation method of the Seal of Life and Death like a demon.
He was this kind of person.
Once he made up his mind to do something, he would put all his energy into it. He would complete it as if he was possessed. He wouldn't change his mind because of external forces.
After many years of extreme sports, he understood a principle — only by being obsessed with something could he truly do it to the extreme!
Seal of Life and Death! The Seal of Life and Death!
There was only one thought in his mind. He had to understand the cultivation method of the Seal of Life and Death as soon as possible.
It would be best if he could master the cultivation method of the Seal of Life and Death before he entered the Dead Swamp.
Only then would he have more power to protect himself in the Dead Swamp. Only then would he have more opportunities to obtain things that were beneficial to him.
Shi Yan closed his eyes and relaxed his body. He slowly sorted out what he had learned during this time.
After a long time.
His mind moved. The Profound Qi in his body slowly flowed from his abdomen to his right arm.
The speed of the Profound Qi in his body wasn't fast. Instead, it gathered and condensed in his right arm.
Strands of Profound Qi gathered in his right arm. His right arm looked crystal clear. Even the bones and blood vessels could be seen clearly. It was as if his skin and flesh were transparent.
Shi Yan didn't know about the abnormality of his arm.
Closing his eyes, he tried to activate the Profound Qi in his arm according to the cultivation method that he had learned during this time.
When his right arm slowly expanded, Shi Yan made up his mind. The Profound Qi in his arm suddenly rushed to his palm!
"Chi chi chi!"
Strands of crystal clear Profound Qi, like lightning, suddenly emerged from his five fingers.
The five strands of Profound Qi seemed to have a mind of their own. They were constantly expanding and contracting at his five fingertips. However, they didn't break away from his fingertips.
"It still doesn't work."
Shi Yan opened his eyes and looked at the crystal clear Profound Qi on his five fingertips. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face. He frowned and murmured, "Something must have gone wrong. This isn't the sign of the successful cultivation of the Seal of Life. Where is it?"
His murmur became softer and softer. The Profound Qi on his five fingertips slowly returned to his fingertips.
Shi Yan fell into a state of deep thought again. He continued to search for the true meaning of the Seal of Life and Death as if he was possessed.
