It’s Not Easy Being a Master

Chapter 39: phantom

The small pond suddenly became a deep ocean.

Yan Jin's barrier separated the sea water, and the two looked around. There are everything around, large and small schools of fish, gorgeous coral groups, Shen Zhixian thought he had gone to the Haizu Pavilion.

There was a small path on the bottom of the sea, meandering and wondering where to go. The two walked forward cautiously. After half an hour, the path disappeared on a thin sand.

This is-ashore?

Stepping on the soft fine sand, Shen Zhixuan couldn't help turning back to look at the sea. The pale blue sea was quiet and sparkling in the sun. No one could see that there was such a path on the bottom of the sea.

"I found it!" A slightly childish shout came, and Shen Zhixian immediately returned to his heart to see the next person coming, and he did not hesitate to hide behind Yan Jin-this picture seems to have met.

A seven- or eight-year-old boy spread his feet and rushed forward, and was about ten minutes frozen by Yan Jin's eyes before he was about to pull on Yan Jin's clothes.

"Finding, finding ..." The boy's voice was getting lower and lower. He tilted his head and looked at Yan Jin carefully. The more he looked, the more confused he became. A little blankness appeared in his eyes.

Shen Zhixian poked his head behind Yan Jin and looked at the little guy for a while. The little boy hesitated and asked, "Have you seen Xiaojiu?"

Shen Zhixian also hesitantly asked, "Where is this?"

You see me, I see you, no one can answer anyone.

After a moment, the little boy asked timidly: "So, then ... you saw little eight, seven, five ..."

He counted a string slickly, from nine to one, Shen Zhixian could hear his head a big circle-who's broke into the children's nest?

The little boy was still staring at him. He also felt Yan Jin's indifference and inaccessibility. He subconsciously ignored him and asked Shen Zhixuan.

However, Shen Zhixuan retracted behind Yan Jin and went back. The little boy took a peek at Yan Jin, and carefully moved two steps, and walked in front of Shen Zhixian, staring intently.

Shen Zhixian was helpless. He had a headache when he saw the child. He unconsciously dragged Yan Jin's sleeve and asked, "Are these people you ask, are they children?"

Seeing his answer, the little boy nodded happily, and said, "Oh, huh! My name is Xiao Shi, and I want to find Xiao 9 Xiao 8 Xiao 7 ... all found!"

Shen Zhixian thought about it, and worked hard and shouted, "But we just came here, and we don't know what it is yet. Can you tell us where this is? You tell us, we will find a friend for you."

He thought he had spoken very mildly and kindly, but Xiao Shi stared at him for a while, with a small mouth, but repeated mechanically: "Did you see Xiao 9 Xiao 8 Xiao 7 ... did they?" He "Now we're playing hide and seek, but I can't find them."

Xiao Shi's expression gradually became confused, as if he had encountered a big problem, he frowned, murmured for a while, just like when he came, and spread his feet and ran away. Two people.

Shen Zhixian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing some houses not far away, he said, "Go there and see if there is an adult."

"Um." The sand was dense, and Shen Zhixian walked one step at a time. Yan Jin took his hand and helped him move forward steadily. If he inadvertently asked, "Do you really hate children when you are young?"

"It's not annoying, the children are still cute. I'm afraid they will chop me to cry." Shen Zhixian sighed. "When I cry, my brain hurts and I can't coax."

"Cared for children before I was young?"

"No," Shen Zhixuan answered decisively. "I can't hide them enough, but I have to take care of them."

Yan Jin stopped talking, and Shen Zhixian didn't care. When approaching the house, Yan Jin suddenly stopped and asked, "Why ... a child who doesn't cry and doesn't make trouble, do you like it when you meet?"

Shen Zhixian thought that he had already revealed the topic, and he asked such a word without warning, and he stunned and said, "Don't cry or make trouble ... it's okay. Who doesn't like a good boy?"

Who doesn't like it.

Yan Jin lowered her eyes, a flash of aura flashed under her eyes, and she didn't ask any more.

There are still a lot of houses by the sea. In a row, there are dozens of families. The two knocked on the door one by one, but there was no response inside.

Yan Jin listened carefully for a moment, then finally opened the door decisively-the room was empty and there was no figure.

The doors of four or five houses were pushed one after the other, and the inside was empty. The furniture and other things were readily available, and all the dust was on them. Obviously, they have not been used for a long time.

This place ... Shen Zhixian felt an ominous feeling in his heart. If this place can talk, is it possible that the child is the only one left?

Oh, maybe there are those little nine, little eight ... a group of children.

Where have the adults gone?

Unwillingly opened the door of another house, and as soon as the door was opened, there was a movement in the room immediately. Shen Zhixian was pleased. When she looked over with Yan Jin, a childish face immediately gave him hope. Crush.

"Little ten?" Shen Zhixian looked at the face he had seen not long ago, and shouted subconsciously. After he shouted, he didn't feel right. The direction in which Xiao Shifang ran away was not this way. If he turned back and hid in the house, Yan Jin couldn't find it, and this child ...

The children hiding under the table saw them, timidly came out, and whispered, "You see little ten little eight little seven ..."

Shen Zhixian supported the forehead, so this child with a face similar to that of Xiaoxi Xiao, is Xiaojiu?

The essence of human being is a repeater, is the essence of the world a copy machine?

What he was about to say, Yan Jin held his hand tightly, and then whispered in his ear: "He's not a living person, just a courage."

Shen Zhixian suddenly turned to look at him.

Yan Jin motioned him to look at the little boy.

The little boy crouched under the table, seeing no response for a long time, his eyes became empty, his eyes gradually became red, and Douda's teardrops rolled down like beads, and he whispered to the ground: "I can't find it, I can't find it ... I'm so useless, I can't even hide and seek ..."

As the tears fell more and more fierce, his body was gradually blurred, and the whole person became weak and empty, and even now Shen Zhixian, who had no spiritual power, saw something wrong.

Shen Zhixian pointed hard at the little boy, and then pointed out the door: "Only that one ... also?"

Yan Jin corrected: "That appointment is the soul."

Shen Zhixian: "..."

Ten children, ten, nine, eight ... all the way to one.

This really makes Shen Zhixian think more. People have three souls and seven souls. These ten children are actually just one child with three souls and seven souls demolished!

Who is so cruel to break the soul of a child like this? !!

Is it the person who created this mystery?

Many thoughts flashed into Shen Zhixian's mind. The cry of that little Jiu gradually weakened, and he looked at the two of them for a while, then suddenly got out from the bottom of the table, while Shen Zhixian didn't notice, he rushed over.

Shen Zhixian's eye-broken hand quickly hid behind Yan Jin, only to grab a handful of sleeves.

Xiaojiu tugged his sleeve tightly and insisted: "Play and hide with us! Come and play with us and laugh!"

Before Shen Zhixian had a headache, he was attracted by a new name: "Yuyu? Who is this?"

Xiao Jiu's eyes were empty, he turned a deaf ear to his words, and repeatedly said: "Come and hide with us, hide and seek hide and seek ..."

The repetition of the chanting and the crying cavity with weeping, made Shen Zhixian's head grow a circle, hesitantly looked at Yan Jin.

The meaning of Shen Zhixian's request for help was too obvious, Yan Jin thought for a moment, and reprimanded: "Snoring."

I don't know if he is too cold or for some other reason. Then Xiao Jiu was scared by a cry and his hands were loose, but he really didn't dare cry.

Crying is afraid to cry, but the words are still repeated: "hide-and-seek hide-and-seek hide-and-seek hide-and-seek ..."

Yan Jin asked him a few words coldly, Xiaojiu ignored him, only thought about himself, as if immersed in his own world.

Shen Zhixian had no choice but to whisper: "How to play hide and seek?"

Maybe he was born with a child, and Yan Jin could n’t get a response no matter how he asked. As soon as he asked, Xiaojiu stopped the repeated thoughts and looked away: "Are you going to play? Are you with me?" Hide it and let him find ... "

Shen Zhixian whispered: "Maybe this is a secret arrangement? Can you find an exit by playing such a hide and seek?"

Yan Jin frowned: "Dangerous."

"There are no living people in the vicinity, only these children can communicate ... Several souls that have been split. Maybe this soul is all you need to know everything."

Unknown territory, unknown environment, of course Shen Zhixian does not want to be separated from Yan Jin, but helpless, for now, perhaps the only way to follow the words of this child.

He persuaded quietly that the younger Ji was repeating her chanting, Yan Jin pursed her lips, her brows frowned even more, and she reluctantly let go: "Try it."

When Xiao Jiu finally got her wish and pulled Shen Zhixuan to run away and hid, Yan Jin suddenly reached out and took Shen Zhixian's wrist.

Shen Zhixian was pulled a meal.

Yan Jin's eyes were so deep, her expression was very serious, and her words were clear, and she said, "I will find you."

"Most definitely."

Until Shen Zhixian was pulled by Xiao Jiu to turn around in the east and west, hiding in a forest, he kept repeating Yan Jin's words in his mind.

Find ... find it!

Why do you have to say it like this ... Shen Zhixian can hardly describe that feeling, what I have to say is ... as if he was a disrespectful person who sneaked away and wanted to be found back!

Shen Zhixuan hid behind a tree and looked at Xiao Jiu Ding Wan's instructions: "You are hiding here, I will hide there ..."

"Uh-huh." He nodded perfunctoryly, watching Xiaojiu walk away three or three times before he calmed down and carefully sensed that parting was a spiritual force left by Yan Jin in a hurry.

He didn't understand Yan Jin's meaning, and only said that he left spiritual power to ensure his safety. At this time, he felt the spiritual power and guided it to walk slowly in his body, thinking about what to do now.

I don't know what the ray of spiritual power touched, and suddenly a little scorching tumbled from the depth of the aura of the sea, burning Shen Zhixian back to God.

Hey?

what?

He felt the vague scalding feeling afterwards-that is, the contract with Yan Jin before?

The scalding sensation was looming, Shen Zhixuan was intent and delicate, but he could not feel it anymore. He thought about it, and deliberately guided that strand of spirit to poke the contract.

This time, it was effective. The contract started to get hot. Shen Zhixuan felt what he felt vaguely. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed it, turned to a certain direction, and suddenly opened his eyes.

-Yan Jin.

The contract was vaguely telling him that Yan Jin was in this direction.

So did Yan Jin see his identity like this before? This contract can still be used this way?

Shen Zhixian hesitated for a moment and looked in the direction of induction, some wondering whether he should take the initiative to find it.

Fang Cai's Xiaojiu took him around the east and west in the forest. There was mist in the forest, and it was blurry not far. He was taken a few times, and he couldn't remember the direction. If the contract sensed Is right ...

He pondered for a moment and decided to try it again. This ghost place had earlier reconciled earlier.

Having set his attention, Shen Zhixian moved forward.

The woods in the forest are lush, not tall, and the trees have pale pink flowers, which look a bit like peach blossoms, faintly scented, hidden in the mist, and drifted silently.

Shen Zhixuan was walking, instinctively felt that the aroma was wrong, but he had already penetrated into the forest at this time, the Quartet could not see each other, nowhere to retreat, he could only deliberately calm his breath and reduce the amount of inhalation.

There was a shadow in the fog ahead, Shen Zhixian stopped, stared at the half-wobble, slowly reached out, folded a flower branch on a dwarf tree next to it, held it like a sword, pointed it obliquely to the ground, and flicked his wrists, pale pink flowers The child trembled a little, but she was so murderous.

The shadow revealed its appearance from the mist. It was a few weak little ghosts, gray and black translucent bodies, hesitating to test in front of Shen Zhixuan.

Little ghost, as its name suggests, is actually the most common and lowest living creature in the mountains and forests. It is born in suffocation. It likes to entangle innocent passersby and let them fall into an endless illusion.

The little ghosts hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but float over to get tangled with Shen Zhixian.

Shen Zhixian frowned, and did not show mercy. He moved the spiritual power to the flower branch and fluttered a few sword moves--he just lost his spiritual power, but not the whole person. His sword moves were still comparable. of.

The strand of spiritual power left by Yan Jin couldn't do big things. It was more than enough to kill a few ghosts.

The breeze blows down the flowers, and the flowers on the flower branches are shattered into many petals, and they fall down one after another, leaving only one flower standing upright, trembling in the might of Jian Zhao.

Shen Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, Hua Zhi obliquely, staring coldly at the ghosts before they were struggling, they broke into a haze and spread out.

It seemed that the voice of a child came from not far away, and Shen Zhixuan walked away slowly, and those mists receded like tides, gradually revealing the prospect.

It's a fine beach.

At first glance, it looks very similar to the scene when they first came ashore from the bottom of the sea. Upon closer inspection, Shen Zhixuan found a difference—the edges were blurry and lifeless, which was an illusion.

There seemed to be laughter of children around, Shen Zhixian faintly saw many children chasing laughter at the edges of those vague illusions, but this liveliness had nothing to do with him, and it had nothing to do with the single child on the beach.

The waves repeatedly rushed to the shore, rolled up many small shells and crabs, and rolled up a long and beautiful little blue fish.

The child was squatting on the beach, staring blankly in the distance. And after the little blue fish was rolled ashore, it jumped lazily forward, just to the point where the waves could not roll it back into the sea, just hopped to the side of the child, and stood still.

Its color is really beautiful, like the charming blue at the junction of the horizon and the sea level line. In the sun, people can't open their eyes when they look at it.

The child was attracted by it, looked at it quietly for a while, and carefully poked at the slightly white fish belly with his hands.

The little blue fish bulged his belly and continued motionless.

The child smiled with a silly smile. When he saw that the waves couldn't rush up, he carefully picked up the fish, took a few steps forward, and put it back into the sea.

But after a while, the waves rolled up the fish again. The fish used to jump a few times before moving again.

Fish will die without water.

The child bulged his cheeks. Although he was a fool, he understood the reason. This little blue fish is so beautiful. What should I do if I die?

He put the little blue fish back into the sea again.

But I don't know what happened, but after a while, the little blue fish was once again rolled up.

The child was at a loss, and he looked at the beautiful little blue fish, a little at a loss--otherwise, could this playback be farther away?

He picked up the little blue fish again, this time he decided to go a little further into the water, so that the spray could not roll up the little blue fish.

But this time, the little blue fish was not as good as he wished.

The white light flashed in the child's hands, and the child blinked his eyes, and wanted to cover his eyes subconsciously. When he loosened his hands, the little blue fish fell down. When it was about to land, the white light suddenly extended and changed. Make a figure.

The long hair fell like a waterfall, and her face turned to the indistinguishable person, and her long and white fingers poked at the child's forehead. The voice was cold and leisurely: "I want to sleep in the sun, don't put me back Now. "

His eyes were deep ice-blue, and the child was suffocated. Then, the next moment, the figure turned back into a small blue fish. He fluttered on the fine sand, chose a comfortable position, and warmed himself. Touching the sun, motionless.

The child stood in a dull place. He was a well-known fool in the sea. He couldn't figure out what had happened.

He bowed his head and saw the little blue fish again, his beautiful fish covered with a little sand.

Fish has no water-it's about to die.

Keeping this in mind, the child squatted down, carefully and carefully held the little blue fish, and again and again, put it in the water.

Wow, a wave rolled up and awakened the little blue fish.

It pricked its tail in the fine sand to keep it from being caught by the waves, and moved slightly, as if confused.

Outside of the illusion, even Shen Zhixian felt its suffocation and couldn't help laughing.

Look! Bear child power!
