Chapter Ninety-Four: Refusal and Parting
When Zuo Feng saw the owner of the old voice, he couldn't help but rush and say, "Phantom Senior", but as soon as he shouted, he felt that he had seen the wrong person.
Because judging from its outfit and figure, Zuo Feng recognized it at first glance as the mysterious woman he met on the top of the cliff in Dongshan that night. But now if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be, although the woman she saw that night almost completely covered her face, Zuo Feng could still tell that the other party should only be in her thirties.
But the old woman in front of me, I'm afraid she should be around seventy years old if she is not eighty years old. Looking at his wrinkled face and the faint spots at the corners of his eyes, he should not be the same as the woman he saw that night.
Scratching his head a little embarrassed, Zuo Feng said respectfully: "I'm sorry, I mistook my predecessor for another person I met before." ”
The old woman looked kind at this time, and stared at Zuo Feng for a long time. Suddenly, the old woman said in disbelief: "You have reached the realm of consummation of the strong body stage?"
The old woman's question was very abrupt, and Zuo Feng was also a little confused, as if he still knew himself. He couldn't see the old woman's cultivation, but the old woman replied respectfully to his life-saving grace.
"The juniors have had some adventures recently, so their cultivation has improved a little faster. ”
After hearing this, the old woman nodded slightly, and said, "Is the 'Cold Ice Mist' I gave you still useful?"
Hearing the old woman's words, Zuo Feng was even more shocked, and he was speechless. The old woman found this extremely interesting, and said with a dry laugh.
"Why, I used my old man's things, and I didn't recognize them so soon?"
Zuo Feng was even more at a loss this time, he could still hear some of the old man's slightly joking words, but it was difficult for him to connect two people with a double age difference.
With a move in his heart, Zuo Feng suddenly remembered what Teng Xiaoyun had said. 'That Phantom Senior, I wasn't even born when he became famous. Zuo Feng's heart moved, and he immediately said respectfully.
"Don't blame the seniors, I really didn't know that the seniors had such great powers, and they could change their appearance and age at will. ”
The old woman also felt that she was playing with Zuo Feng, her face was a little serious, she waved her hand, and said, "Don't come to pat my old man's ass, the old man's body is not good, and he can't stand your big hat." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Why were you caught by these people, I remember that I seemed to have given you two bottles of 'Cold Ice Mist' last time. ”
Zuo Feng heard the old woman's question, and glanced at Shen Die next to him with his spare eyes, seeing that she also looked concerned. He let out a long breath and said, "I originally wanted to go back to the village to see my master's situation this time, but then I ......."
Zuo Feng slowly went through the events after leaving Yancheng this time, of course, he also talked about some innocuous places in detail, and some things involving his own secrets were passed by, or simply skipped them.
The old woman nodded slightly when she began to hear Zuo Feng's clever killing of the person who was being tracked. Later, when it was said that in order to save the vine Xiao Yun, he did not hesitate to risk his life and attracted a large number of beasts to besiege the gray-clothed man, the face that had always been ancient and waveless was also a little moved. Later, there were too many strange things in the Tianping Mountain Range, and Zuo Feng swept over and directly told how he was captured by the man in gray.
The old woman let out a long sigh after hearing this, and said, "I used to see that you were a good talent, but I didn't expect you to be a person who values love and righteousness. My old man came here for some personal matters, but I didn't expect to meet two extremely talented children in such a remote place. ”
Speaking of this, the old woman's face also showed a hint of satisfaction, and continued: "I didn't plan to accept any more apprentices, but after seeing this girl, I also fell in love with my talent." How about it, do you want to come under my door?"
Zuo Feng suddenly heard that the old woman had such thoughts, and he couldn't help but be a little moved. But then I remembered something and said, "Thank you for the kindness of my seniors, it's just ......"
"Well......! Why don't you want to?"
The old woman was obviously a little dissatisfied when she heard Zuo Feng's excuse, Zuo Feng looked up cautiously, and found that Shen Die on the side was secretly giving herself a look, but she still sighed and said.
"Please don't be angry, the people of our Zuojia Village have not yet gained a foothold in Yancheng at the moment, and now there are many forces eyeing us. I can't let them go, so I can only live up to the good intentions of my predecessors. ”
The old woman stared at Zuo Feng with slightly squinted eyes for a long time, and saw that Zuo Feng was also sincere, so she said in a softened tone.
"I think you also know my identity, and if you can give up this opportunity for the safety of your clan, I won't force the old man anymore. But as far as I can see, there will inevitably be a big upheaval in Yancheng recently, and these rats of the Fengtian Dynasty will never come here for no reason, you must know that your strength is insignificant in this whirlpool. ”
"Master. ”
When Shen Die heard the old woman say this, she was obviously a little anxious and wanted to say something. But the old woman waved her hand before she could speak, signaling her not to continue, and continued to preach on her own.
"These things are all entanglements between Ye Lin and Fengtian, and I can't interfere with them, and I can't participate in them as I am. If I had been involved, my old friends would have stepped in, which would have backfired. ”
Zuo Feng originally listened to Shen Die's mouth, and he still had some expectations in his heart. But after listening to the old woman's words, the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited in his heart was completely extinguished.
"Alright, Fluttershy. I think you must have a lot to say to him, too, and I'll wait for you over there. When you're done talking, go there and find me. ”
As she spoke, the old woman pointed to a small hill in the distance, and then her figure shook slightly, and the person had disappeared in place.
Zuo Feng couldn't help but gasp when he saw the strength that the old woman showed when she left, this was definitely a body martial art that was many times faster than the "Going Against the Wind" that he hadn't yet learned. But what Zuo Feng didn't know was that in order to reach the level of an old woman, he would have such a terrifying speed without using any martial arts.
gradually withdrew his gaze from the shock and looked at Shen Die on the side, but saw Shen Die looking at him with some resentment. Zuo Feng was slightly stunned at first, but then he understood what he meant, rubbed his nose awkwardly and said.
"I also explained just now, I really can't ignore the affairs of the family, my parents and relatives are still in Yancheng. If I didn't have these concerns, I would definitely join you in the door of the 'Phantom Born' predecessors, but I really can't leave it now. ”
After hearing this, Shen Die sighed leisurely, as if muttering, and said, "Why do you always want to do something impossible, do you know what you are going to face?"
Zuo Feng shook his head, he was also extremely conflicted at the moment. Although the opponent has not yet shown his full strength, the tip of the iceberg that he has seen so far is enough to crush him a thousand times. But he had to face it, because the safety of his family was his bottom line.
His gaze slowly swept over Shen Die's delicate face, and he couldn't help but remind Zuo Feng of the night conversation between the two in Zuojia Village that night, as if it had just happened. At this time, Zuojia Village was long gone, and the beautiful woman in front of him was also leaving, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
"I, did I receive a gift for you?"
Zuo Feng deliberately wanted to divert the topic, and he didn't want to continue to immerse himself in the feelings of parting, so he pretended to ask casually.
Shen Die gently raised his jade hand, took out a snow-white long sword from behind his back, slowly stroked the sword body and said, "I like this sword you gave me." ”
Looking at Shen Die, who was dressed in white, holding a snow-white long sword in his hand, Zuo Feng couldn't help but lose his mind slightly. The beauty and the sword complement each other, and this picture is probably unforgettable in this life.
"By the way, Tian Tian was injured a few days ago and is now recuperating in the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Shen Die held the sword in his hand, and suddenly remembered Zuo Tiantian, who handed the sword to her with his own hand, and immediately spoke.
"Tian Tian is injured. Who did it?"
Zuo Feng's expression suddenly became serious, and a violent anger appeared in his eyes.
Shen Die knew that Zuo Feng cared about his family the most, so he quickly told what happened after Zuo Feng left, which naturally included Zuo Feng's father Zuo Changqing being injured. After saying this, Shen Die was afraid that Zuo Feng would be too worried, so he continued.
"Uncle Changqing's injury has been treated by Aunt Zhuang and is no longer in trouble, and I heard that Tiantian is fine. Now the City Lord's Mansion has a master stationed at the old mansion every day from morning to night, so don't worry too much. ”
Hearing Shen Die say this, Zuo Feng's mood eased slightly, but the anger on his face did not diminish at all. Seeing Zuo Feng's expression, Shen Die couldn't help but sigh slightly and said.
"Ever since someone came to make trouble that day, I met Master the next day, and she seemed to be looking for something. But after a few days, there was no gain, so I gave up. Later, when she saw that I had good qualifications, she decided to take in an apprentice. ”
Zuo Feng nodded, he was only sincerely happy for Shen Die's choice. It's just that there is an indescribable discomfort in his heart, but he still said excitedly.
"Your choice is right, you will definitely have a bright future in the future if you follow the predecessors of the 'Phantom Life'. ”
Shen Die heard Zuo Feng say this, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said: "Originally, I wanted to spend the sun peacefully, but after meeting Master, her old man treated me like a granddaughter, and I couldn't bear to live up to her kindness, and our village's hatred ......."
Zuo Feng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Such an opportunity, it is not right to give up." Don't worry, the enmity of Shenjia Village is wrapped in me. ”
Shen Die stared at Zuo Feng with a somewhat resentful expression, and just when Zuo Feng was a little distracted, a loud "chirp" came from the hill not far away
"Don't let the 'phantom' old man wait for a long time, you better hurry up. ”
When he heard the beast's roar, Zuo Feng immediately thought of the dark shadow from before, and at the same time remembered the terrifying mount he had seen that night.
Shen Die glanced at the hill in the distance with some embarrassment, and finally sighed lightly and said, "I will go to a few places with Master, and then I will follow her old man to the ancient wasteland, you must come to me." Master's old man's residence is called 'Ancient Cloud Mountain', and it is a place that everyone knows in the Ancient Wilderness Empire. ”
After Shen Die finished speaking, he ran towards the hill in the distance without looking back, Zuo Feng looked at the beautiful back, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I will definitely go to find you, don't worry!"
