The Rise of the Shen Family

v1 Chapter 237: Clues

Just after perceiving that breath for the second time, Shen Ruiling felt a familiar smell from that breath.

   After thinking about it carefully, he confirmed the identity of the foundation building monk who suddenly appeared.

   But since the wonderful old man is their back hand, he can't appear in front of everyone, so Shen Ruiling only needs to get away from Shen Huanzong and come to meet alone.

   For the first time in more than half a year, Shen Ruiling and the wonderful old man are looking at each other.

   In the eyes of Shen Ruiling, the old man at this time looked even older than before, and his whole body exuded an aura of decay, thinking he was almost on the verge of sitting.

  Although he had expected it, Shen Ruiling still had some strange feelings in his heart when looking at the old face of the wonderful old man.

   The road is ruthless, the monk is really too small in the face of thousands of years!

   On the other side, when the clever old man discovered that Shen Ruiling's cultivation level had improved a lot more than half a year ago, he couldn't help but be surprised.

   "Look at him like this, he will be one step short of breaking through the mid-foundation stage!"

  The old man with a wonderful hand was thinking secretly in his heart.

   He spent half his life on the peak of the initial stage of foundation building. Now seeing a junior in just half a year achieve his half-life achievement, he can't help but sigh in his heart.

   Then, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

  ……

   Looking at the wonderful old man who appeared, Shen Ruiling smiled and asked:

   "Miao Keqing, when did you get here"

   "After you left Yunbifeng, the old man and I followed all the way, almost here with you.

   I just felt that there were too many foundation-building cultivators on that spiritual mountain. I was afraid of being discovered, the old man, so I never showed up! "The wonderful old man slowly explained.

  ……

   After a few simple questions, Shen Ruiling began to explain the reason for this entry into the mountain.

   "The people of Qingyunmen asked us foundation-building cultivators to enter the mountain and remove the secret opening set by the bandits..."

   After listening to Shen Ruiling's words, the wonderful old man looked at the vast mountain and said:

   "Do you want my old man to do it too?"

   "Don't use it for the time being, now the war has just begun, here I am enough to deal with it, fellow Daoists should not show up too early, it is good that you and I still cooperate with each other in light and dark!"

   Shen Ruiling shook his head decisively at the suggestion of the wonderful old man.

   After all, it is not the time to let the clever old man take action. Once someone discovers that there is a foundation-building monk hidden here, he will start to beware, and then the expected effect will not be achieved.

"All right!"

   Shen Ruiling said so, and the clever old man nodded and agreed.

   "Well, for safety's sake, you and I shouldn't meet for a long time, let's separate now!"

"good!"

   After finishing speaking, the figure of the old man with the skillful hand moved immediately, and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye!

   After seeing the wonderful old man leave, Shen Ruiling glanced around the snowy area again, until he was sure that there was no third person, he turned around and swept in the direction of the three of Shen Huanzong.

   On the other side, the three Qi-training cultivators Shen Huanzong quickly became vigilant when they noticed that someone was approaching.

   After a few breaths, Shen Ruiling's figure nine appeared in front of them, and it was only then that they were relieved.

  Shen Ruiling, who came to the three of them, did not explain the reason for leaving, but said to the three of them lightly:

   "Go on!"

"Yes!"

   After hearing Shen Ruiling's order, the three of Shen Huanzong did not hesitate and immediately followed.

   about an hour later in the jungle and snow.

   Shen Ruiling discovered that the snow here has become deeper than at the foot of the mountain. It has reached the height of one person. Obviously, it has already entered the interior of the mountain.

   Thinking of walking from the foot of the mountain to this place, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but wonder if he didn't find a secret mouth set by the bandits along the way.

   "Could it be that the bandits have given up on the periphery of the mountain range and are now guarding the Baibone Ridge?"

  ……

   Just as Shen Ruiling stopped to think, in an underground cave less than fifty miles away from the place where he stopped, several Qi-training monks dressed like casual cultivators were discussing something.

   I saw a small, thin young man who looked like a hairy monkey slowly approaching a fat middle-aged man, and he only spoke in a nonchalant manner:

   "Boss, a few days ago, the Lingshang just spread the news. Let us take strict precautions and control all intersections that go up the mountain.

   Now we are lying in this crypt every day, and even the secret whistle on the ground has been removed. If a few masters knew that we would be skinned! "

   The obese middle-aged man just got ready to sleep beautifully, and when he heard the young man's words, he suddenly said with some unwillingness:

   "Hou San, what is your kid anxious about! As long as you and I don't say anything about the things here, how can it reach the ears of a few bosses."

   Besides, there is so much snow outside, and the road to the mountain has been blocked. Who would enter the mountain at this time, don't worry about it! "

   "That's right! It's freezing cold above, how can it be warm in this crypt!"

A bandit next to    also immediately responded, and from time to time he had to add firewood to the fire in the cave to make the fire more prosperous.

"But……"

   Seeing that the young man still looked at ease, the middle-aged man said impatiently:

   "Nothing! When I was a bandit, you guys were still wearing open crotch pants, you are right to hear me! If you guys are free to panic, go out and chop a few bundles of firewood to make a fire!"

"All right!"

  ……

  At this time, the four of Shen Ruiling on the ground had already begun to move toward the depths of the forest.

So far, they have not found a secret mouth set up by the bandits. If this continues, it will be really difficult to deal with each other, so they have to continue to move forward~lightnovelpub.net~ after walking some distance , Liu Quanyong, who was following Shen Ruiling, stopped abruptly, as if he had discovered something, and hurriedly whispered towards Shen Ruiling:

   "Senior!"

   After hearing Liu Quanyong's call, Shen Ruiling immediately came to him and said in a deep voice:

   "What do you call me?"

   "Senior, please look at this stump!"

   At his reminder, Shen Ruiling looked at the stump, and immediately found traces of felling.

   At first glance, this trace was cut down with a sharp tool, and the trace is extremely new, it should have been left over the past ten days and a half month.

   For a moment, the four of Shen Ruiling immediately thought that there must be monks living nearby, and there should be no other monks who can live in this deep mountain and old forest except for the bandits on the mountain.

   "There is a secret mouth set by the bandits around here!" Shen Ruiling immediately understood in their hearts.

   "Separate! Look around here carefully and let me know if there is a problem!"

   Shen Ruiling looked at the vast white world around him, and said to the three of Shen Huanzong.

"Yes!"

   I saw that the three of Shen Huanzong immediately ran in different directions, carefully looking for signs of monk activities.

   On the other side, Shen Ruiling's figure quickly moved in the woods, and the divine sense also slowly probed out, and began to search the surrounding area carefully.

After a few breaths, a strange sight caught Shen Ruiling's attention.

   I saw that on a snow-covered mountain bag, a drop of water was falling down, and a tiny white mist evaporated.
