Chapter 9

From early morning to dusk.

From sunrise to sunset.

Some people say that there are immortals and Buddhas in the sky. Some people say that all the stars in the sky are immortals. However, no one has ever told young Shen Shi what kind of Tao He is cultivating or what kind of immortals he wants to become.

After the tall butcher, he left the house. First, he went deep into the ground through a secret road. After a while, he came out again. He had already arrived at another corner of Xilu city which was completely strange. The butcher took him to an ordinary carriage that was ready to wait for them. He took out two sets of old clothes in the carriage and asked Shen Shi to change into the small one.

Then, with the sound of the wheels, the humble carriage, full of worries, went out of the city in such an ordinary and ordinary way, and all the way north.

Wheels rolling, slow but non-stop to go, even in the dead of night, this seemingly ordinary carriage did not stop meaning.

It was the next day that Shen Shi, who was full of worries, began to notice that in addition to him and the butcher, there was a third person, the driver.

It was a skinny old man with wrinkles. At first glance, it seemed that he was an old man who was overwhelmed by the pressure of a poor life. He was lifeless and didn't have much reaction to anything except driving. He looked as if he would fall down at any time. However, such an old coachman, driving this ordinary carriage, pulling the butcher and Shen Shi, walked for three days and three nights without a moment's rest.

Three days later, the old coachman didn't seem to have any difference from the first day. He was still in distress and suffering.

When they got out of the car, Shen Shi's eyes not only glanced at the old coachman, but also at the thin horse on the carriage Even after walking for three days and three nights, the lean horse seemed to stand there as if nothing had happened to its owner.

Shen Shi has a feeling that he seems to see a tiny corner of another strange world hidden in his past life.

After a simple rest, the three of them set foot on the road again. It was another three days to the north. Shen Shi was far away from Xilu City, and now he was in a small city less than half the size of Xilu city. The ordinary carriage was parked in a quiet corner. The butcher jumped out of the carriage and let Shen Shi stay in the carriage. Then he strode away.

Shen Shi was a little uneasy, but he knew that he had no choice but to stay in the car quietly and put the hourglass in front of him.

The fine sand flows silently. When the sand slides from one end to the other through the narrow opening, an hour has passed.

Shen Shi silently gazed at the flowing sand. With the passage of time, his heart began to accelerate slowly.

Fortunately, this worry ended when the sand only flowed about a quarter. The tall figure of the butcher came back here. He simply nodded to the old driver and then returned to the carriage.

Grunt, grunt, the wheels begin to roll again and move forward again.

In the carriage, Shen Shi looked at the butcher, who was also staring at him. After a moment, he said, "there is no news. In other words, I don't know if it has been done."

Shen Shi's cheek muscles twitched a little, slowly lowered his head, and then grasped the little hourglass on the ground in his palm again.

The same and boring day, repeated again, every day reverberated in the ear, it seems that only the eternal wheel sound. The bumpy carriage is always quiet with some stiff atmosphere.

All the way north

Away from the city full of his childhood memories, and the only family in the world, more and more far.

Three days later, they arrived at another small town in the north of Yinzhou. This time, instead of entering the city, the carriage stopped outside the city. The butcher got out of the car and entered the city alone.

When Shen Shi stayed quietly in the carriage and watched the hourglass flow for a whole time, he heard the butcher's footsteps.

The carriage started again and still went north. In the carriage, the butcher frowned, met Shen Shi's expectant eyes, and said, "no news."

Shen Shi sat in silence without saying a word.

At this time, it seems that they have already left the southwest border of Hongdi and Mengzhou.

The butcher stopped at the edge of the town and left for the third time. As usual, Shen Shi stayed quietly in the carriage and waited, occasionally looking at the hourglass on the ground and the sand flowing in it; while the old coachman would take this opportunity to jump out of the carriage and move himself, and then bring some water and food to the lean horse.

It's just that the food in some old leather bag is not like the grass for ordinary horses, but a little bit like the meat with some blood.This time the butcher came back faster than the last time. About half an hour after the hourglass passed, he came back from the desolate town.

But his face looked a little ugly, and people seemed to be a little irritable. After seeing Shen Shi, he didn't even want to say much. He just kept calm and shook his head.

The thin old coachman was not aware of the dull and strange atmosphere in the carriage behind him. In his old eyes, it seemed that there was only the thin horse. After affectionately patting the lean horse on the back and feeding the last suspected piece of meat, he got on the car again, rolled the wheels and went on.

On the ninth day, they crossed the boundary of Yinzhou and entered Lanzhou, which is adjacent to Yinzhou.

On the tenth day, the carriage arrived at Tonghe City, a big city in the southernmost part of Lanzhou.

This time, the carriage did not hide outside the city again, but went straight into Tonghe city. Maybe it was because after leaving Yinzhou, although xuanyinmen was powerful, it was still difficult to reach another state, so the butcher and others were more relaxed.

Obviously, the old coachman had been to the city before and looked very familiar with the roads in the city. He drove the carriage through the streets and alleys all the way. After seven turns and eight turns, he took Shen Shi and the butcher to a secluded house.

Two into the yard, four square, looks small, but still clean and tidy. The butcher got out of the car with Shen Shi and walked all the way to a room in the inner courtyard. Behind them, the old coachman gave them a blank look. His eyes stayed a little longer on the boy's back for a while. Then he turned away and fell back on his old friend's lean horse. He patted the lean horse's head, made a hoarse voice and gave a strange smile in a low voice. He said: "hard work, don't worry. Maybe there will be something new later Eat the meat... "

After settling down Shen Shi, the butcher didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the room for a little longer and looked at Shen Shi with a strange look in his eyes.

Shen Shi soon noticed something and looked up at him.

The butcher was silent for a while, and said, "I'm going to the fairies club in the city to ask for information."

Shen Shi did not speak.

The butcher took a look at him, and it seemed difficult to speak, but after a moment, he finally said: "according to the agreement before going out, ten days is the deadline, whether it is successful or not is today."

Shen Shi's men grasped consciously and nodded gently.

The butcher was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm going now. If things succeed, I'll come back and take you to Haizhou. I'll fulfill the promise that the gods made to your father and son, and give you a chance to worship Lingxiao sect. But if things don't come to light, you won't see me..."

Shen Shi took a deep breath, holding the jade hourglass tightly in his hand, and said, "if things don't work out, what will I do?"

At the same time, the butcher turned to the house and said, "if he doesn't come back, his voice will not be dull any more Get rid of you. "

The footsteps faded away, and the door was locked before he left. The simple room suddenly fell into an indescribable silence.

What does disposal mean?

What will happen?

In a trance, he suddenly remembered the livestock he had killed with the butcher in those days.

Those sharp howls, that cold and resolute light, blood burst, cruel and merciless.

The young man's hands began to shake. The endless fear seemed like a tide coming from all directions, which was about to submerge him and drive him crazy

Until, his vision Yu Guang Li, suddenly saw that small jade hourglass again.

The fine sand was white and delicate. It flowed and fell quietly, one by one, one by one. Shen Shi watched the sand flowing like water and sat down at the table.

Hourglass standing on the table, motionless, young head on the table, feel a trace of cold.

Everything seems to be quiet again, in addition to the flowing sand, there is no other in his eyes, just like this, waiting silently.

The fine sand flows and flows. When it is finished, it turns over again. Time goes by without a sound. There is no movement and no one comes.

Finally, when the sand in the hourglass was about to finish the third time, there was a sound of footwork in the distance outside the house. It came slowly from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of the room.

Shen Shi stood up slowly. He felt that his throat was very dry. His body trembled a little. For himself and for his father, who had broken the news in the past ten days.

All of a sudden, he clenched his teeth, strode past and opened the door.

The light outside the house suddenly fell down, making his eyes dazed for a moment because of the strong light. Then he saw the figure standing at the door.

Ten days later, he came to the north with a little old man.The old coachman looked at the young man at the door of the house. On his wrinkled, withered face, he suddenly grinned, showing a few white teeth, with a certain sense of gloom, and began to smile.
