This old scholar was none other than Senior Yimaozhai, who had taken Liu Shisui away from the village years ago.
What he said was his own sentiments; he didn't need a reply from Liu Shisui.
Liu Shisui crawled out from a crack in the rock, and glanced at the sword lights on the horizon.
The old scholar took out a writing brush, dipped it in the clear water in the valley, and wrote a few words in the air.
As a green light flashed, he and Liu Shisui disappeared from their original spots.
It didn't take long for two sword lights to land on the bank of the valley.
Two middle-aged Cultivation practitioners showed up. One of them was the Elder Leiming of Bihu Peak in Aoyama, in the middle state of Free Travel; the other was the highly achieved swordsman of the Western Sea Sword School, Qian Sicai.
Qian Sicai sneered, "He ran away again. It seems that he has stayed in the mountains for a long time and is indeed good at digging holes."
It was obvious that he was mocking the Aoyama Sect. The Leiming glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Shouldn't a guy who has stayed by the seaside for a long time be good at fishing?"
Qian Sicai snorted coldly, and didn't pay any more attention to him.
After making sure that Liu Shisui's energy had disappeared, the two of them withdrew their Sword Discernment and reported to each other.
…
…
It was very dry in the manor cave. The luminous pearls emitted a gloomy light.
Liu Shisui woke up from his meditation and looked around, wondering which highly achieved swordsman's manor cave had a powerful forbidding formation, but it had fallen into the hands of Bulao Lin.
The old scholar handed over a crimson magic pill.
Liu Shisui took the magic pill and swallowed it with the clear water on the table. He adjusted his breathing slightly, and the magic pill disappeared. He looked at the old scholar and smiled gratefully.
Years ago, this old scholar of Yimaozhai and Wei Chenzi of the Zhongzhou School had taken him away from the small village.
Now that Wei Chenzi had been dead for many years, the old scholar became the only person he knew in Bulao Lin.
The old scholar sighed, "You will be discovered sooner or later if you behave like this."
Liu Shisui knew what he was referring to. He scratched his head and said, "I know I shouldn't interfere, but I can't control my body."
The old scholar said, "It seems I was right to imprison you a few years ago. People like you should not walk in this world."
Liu Shisui asked curiously, "In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
The old scholar said, "In short, it shouldn't be Bulao Lin's people."
Liu Shisui said, "If there's a senior like you in Bulao Lin, then it's not surprising that there's someone else."
A place like Yimaozhai actually produced an assassin named Bulao Lin. Naturally, there would be a story to tell.
However, there was no wine in the Immortal's Cave, and the old scholar had no interest in telling stories. He left after saying a few words.
More than ten days later, Liu Shisui's injuries were almost healed. He opened the Forbidding Formation and walked out of the Immortal's Cave. Looking at the towering mountains, his eyes were filled with green, wondering where this place was.
A wind blew from the mountains, up along the cliff wall, ruffling the wild flowers outside the Immortal's Cave and falling on his face.
He smelled something salty in the wind, as well as a faint fishy smell. Only then did he realize that this place was not far from the sea.
That sea should be the West Sea.
Accompanied by the sea wind, the old scholar appeared again, saying, "Let's go."
Liu Shisui didn't ask where they were going. He simply packed up a few things and went to the wild forest outside the Immortal's Cave to relieve himself. Then he followed the old scholar down the mountain.
There was naturally a gloomy valley at the bottom of the green mountains.
The two of them spent a few days passing through the gloomy valley and then entered an even gloomier tunnel.
After walking for a few more days, they finally returned to the surface from the gloomy tunnel.
The sound of the waves lapping against the rocks seemed to be right beside their ears.
In front of their eyes were countless piles of snow.
Liu Shisui silently gazed at the ink-black West Sea in the darkness of the night. After a moment of silence, he turned and walked into the shabby Seagod Temple.
Salt crystals had formed on the damp walls, forming a very strange pattern.
The wooden threshold had been mostly corroded by the sea wind and looked rather disgusting.
These were all scenes he had never seen before.
The old scholar did not follow him into the Seagod Temple.
There was only him and the statue of the Seagod in the shabby temple.
The starlight fell on the ink-black sea, reflecting a faint radiance and then falling on the Seagod's face.
Only now did Liu Shisui realize that this statue of the Seagod was actually a real person.
The Seagod's appearance did not seem special. He was dressed in black, but he exuded a noble and kingly aura, giving off the feeling that he was looking down on the common people.
"You are Bulao Lin's …" Liu Shisui thought about how he should address him, then said, "Chief?"
"You could say that."
The black-clothed man's voice was rather indistinct, as if it had come from a distance.
"Why do you want to see me?" asked Liu Shisui.
The black-clothed man said, "I want to know how you killed Lo Huainan."
"It's a secret," replied Liu Shisui without thinking.
This answer was obviously out of the expectation of the black-clothed man. He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and asked, "Who was the other person who struck out with the sword?"
Liu Shisui thought about it carefully, then said, "I can't tell."
"Is the First Child Sword in your hands?" asked the black-clothed man.
It was not until now that Liu Shisui learned that the sword given to him by Zhao Layue was called the First Child.
Both his expression and reaction were very real.
Because they were all real.
Jing Jiu looked at the black-clothed man and said, "That sword is mine now."
The black-clothed man looked at him in Silence. After a long time, he said, "Then it's yours."
"Thank you," said Liu Shisui.
The black-clothed man said, "You should at least tell me why you killed Lo Huainan if you only kill evil people."
"In my opinion, he is an evil person," said Liu Shisui.
The black-clothed man leaned forward slightly, feeling surprised and interested in what he had said. "Why do you say so?"
After a moment of silence, Liu Shisui said, "My Young Master didn't come back from the snowland; I think it's because of him."
The black-clothed man said thoughtfully, "Though I don't understand why you are so sure that he harmed Jing Jiu, this is a good reason."
"Thank you," said Liu Shisui.
He thanked the black-clothed man for not snatching the First Child Sword by force because of his Cultivation state.
And he thanked the black-clothed man for admitting his reason.
"Do you know why I didn't want to see you a few years ago? It's because you weren't strong enough, and I didn't trust you. "
Looking at Liu Shisui, the black-clothed man remembered the Dace Devil in the Muddy River many years ago, thinking that Liu Shisui's life had been changed by him.
"I don't understand what you mean," said Liu Shisui.
The black-clothed man said, "Not to mention trust, you only kill those you want to kill; what's the use of that to me? Bulao Lin is not the Guocheng Temple. "
Liu Shisui said after some thought, "You want to kill many people, and some of them are suitable for me."
Suitable for him to kill.
The black-clothed man said, "What an interesting young man. But these things are not a problem right now, because you have proven your strength and yourself."
Liu Shisui understood what he meant, remaining silent.
"Even if you had other ideas when you left that village, you have killed Lo Huainan, so you can only walk in the darkness for the rest of your life."
The black-clothed man asked while looking at him in Silence, "Are you willing?"
It was quiet in the Sea-God Temple.
The sound of the ocean waves was more soul-stirring than that of the pine.
Liu Shisui thought of the pond in the village and the sword lights on Liangwang Peak.
He said, "I want the best magic methods, crystals and magic pills, and a safe manor cave. It's up to me to decide whether to take the task or not."
The black-clothed man said, "If someone else dared make such a request, I would destroy his soul and spirit; but since it's you, I'll accept it no matter how ridiculous it is."
Liu Shisui stared into his eyes and asked, "Why do you think so highly of me?"
The black-clothed man said, "Because of your talent and background, and most importantly your temperament. Few Cultivation practitioners are as stubborn as you in all of Chaotian."
Liu Shisui was still puzzled, asking, "Is this temperament important for Bulao Lin?"
The black-clothed man said, "It's not important for Bulao Lin, but it's very important for the sword work."
Liu Shisui vaguely understood something, asking, "You want me to continue cultivating the sword work?"
The black-clothed man said, "Yes, I want you to prove to the whole world that you can still cultivate the peerless sword style even if you leave the Sword Sect of Aoyama."
Liu Shisui said after a moment of silence, "It sounds interesting."
The black-clothed man asked, "Any other questions?"
Liu Shisui asked, "Who the hell are you?"
The black-clothed man looked at him in Silence and said, "I'm Xiwang Sun."
The ocean wind suddenly picked up, and the salt on the wall rustled down.
