It was more than half a month before the rumor reached Shen Ping's ears.

During this period of time, he nestled in Hopeless Peak, and Chen Wang washed his essence and marrow for him. After the pain, he fell into a coma, and after waking up, there was a new pain. And with the stripping of the spiritual roots, more and more side effects began to appear in the body.

Sometimes he dreamed about his previous life, sometimes his whole body was hot and cold, and most of the time he was completely unconscious. After the pain, he was endlessly tired and tired.

When he woke up by chance, he saw Chen Wang taking a nap by the couch.

The joy that could be seen with the eyes overwhelmed the doubt in his heart, he stared at the furnishings in the room for a long time, feeling mostly strange.

"Are you awake?" Chen Wang felt fatigued between his brows, got up and poured a cup of warm water for Shen Ping, "Do you feel unwell?"

Shen Ping wanted to reach out, but his arm was so weak that he couldn't even pick it up from the quilt. "My whole body is weak, and my limbs don't work."

He raised his head, Chen Wang's heart palpitated for a moment, the unnaturalness on his face was noticed by Shen Ping.

"I have to thank Master during this time." Shen Ping was polite and distant, but he was more sincere than before. He hadn't eaten for a long time, and his voice was dry and hoarse. Chen Wang didn't hesitate any longer. Send it to Shen Ping's mouth.

Shen Ping wanted to say that he would come by himself, but he couldn't raise his arms. His face was a bit embarrassed, and the corners of Chen Wang's lips curved slightly, "You don't need to be polite at this time."

"..." Shen Ping sighed, took a few sips of water, her lips were not as dry as before.

Chen Wang turned around and put the cup down, and looked back at him, "Your physique is not good. During this period of time, you need to take some medicine to recuperate first, and you can start your cultivation slowly, but don't be greedy."

"What does Master mean?" Shen Ping looked forward to seeing him.

"The spiritual root is not stable yet, so I have to go to another vein, but this choice is up to you." Chen Wang said solemnly, "Your physique is a bit strange. I pulled out the four spiritual roots first, but the fire root is still left. , wood, wind, and... a line of pseudo-spiritual roots."

"Pseudo-spiritual root?" Shen Ping was surprised, "I obviously..."

Chao Shu said earlier that this body has four spiritual roots, the two attributes of water and fire are in conflict, and the wood spirit root and wind spirit root are born deformed, which makes him a waste among wastes.

But now why do false spiritual roots appear again?

"It doesn't seem to be born naturally, but it seems to be exerted by external force. If there is no mistake, it should be Leilingen." Chen Wang motioned Shen Ping to close his eyes, and then pointed his fingertips between his brows, a mist-like spiritual power engulfed him.

The next moment, Shen Ping saw a cloud of dark blue spiritual energy in his body.

With a piercing roar, the blue dragon meanders around Yuan Dan, and Shen Ping feels a sense of familiarity.

It seems like……

Shen Ping opened her eyes, facing Chen Wang's sinking expression, "Leave it, the rest... get rid of it."

Chen Wang was taken aback, Shen Ping's thoughts were surprisingly consistent with his.

If it were another person, he would have to give up this pseudo-spiritual root now, but Chen Wang felt that Shen Ping's four spiritual roots were not half as good as it. There is the existence of this spirit root.

"There are many hidden dangers in it. If you want to get rid of all the rest, you will have to endure dozens of times more pain than before. Moreover, after getting rid of the rest of the spiritual roots, there is also a seven or eight out of ten possibility that you will not be able to practice in this life. In this way... you Do you want to try too?"

"Try." Shen Ping didn't hesitate at all, "It's my own choice, and I have no complaints whether I succeed or fail."

Chen Wang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

Both of them knew that Chen Wang's plan at the beginning was to get rid of Shen Ping's three water and wood roots, leaving only the water spirit root and the wind spirit root, and the water spirit root would be supplemented by a magic circle to suppress the water spirit root. body, but in fact it is a single spiritual root cultivation.

Except that the cultivation is more difficult, Shen Ping suffers less torture than other methods.

But now they have all chosen the most dangerous method, although Shen Ping looks like letting Chen Wang do whatever he wants, but Chen Wang still has a lot of worries.

Shen Ping stared at that handsome face and couldn't help comforting him in turn, "Compared to not being a useless person in this lifetime of cultivation, now that I have a chance to practice like an ordinary person, it's God's favor, Master's blessing .”

"There are many risks, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid, how can you not be afraid," Shen Ping leaned on, but his eyes were firm, "There is no smooth road for a cultivator, if you want to take a step forward, you have to pay corresponding efforts and risks, and blindly retreating cowardly and retreating will only end up mediocre in the end. "

"And..." He suddenly pulled his lips into a smile, "I know Master will not put me in danger, since you can give me a chance to choose today, then I think you should be sure."

"Only three or four out of ten." Chen Wang actually regretted it for a moment, but when he thought of this man's bright eyes, no matter how much he felt in his heart, it seemed to be contempt for him.

Shen Ping would rather die in failure than fall in despair.

"Then trouble Master again."

"Um."

——

Shen Ping had another dream.

It seems that have walked for a long time, and there are people don’t know along the way. Some of them are rushing home with firewood. Not far away is a small courtyard with winding smoke; The sword is brandished, threatening to eradicate violence and bring peace to the people; there is also a graceful and sentimental dancer lying on the edge of the long platform, the handkerchief in her hand still has a faint scent of powder, and her beautiful eyes are staring at the people on the bridge in a daze... …

Shen Ping never stopped, he wanted to find someone.

Walking through the bustling streets, passing by the bustling bazaar, among a large area of ​​luxuriant trees, he saw Xie Shu.

This time he was wearing a black robe, and he was tall and tall, as if he was waiting for someone, his face was faintly anxious, and suddenly there was a hint of joy.

Following Xie Shu's line of sight, Shen Ping saw the person he was waiting for.

Strangely, he has the same face as him, and is dressed casually and softly in green clothes, obviously the most familiar face, but Shen Ping knows that the person is not him.

"Senior brother!" Xie Shu walked over a few steps, the intimacy of the two was a bit eye-catching.

Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over and called, "Ashu."

Xie Shu turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, "Your Excellency is calling me?"

Shen Ping suddenly froze, "I'm Shen Ping, I'm your senior brother..." He met the other party's alienated and defensive expression, feeling sore and astringent in his heart.

Xie Shu's eyes darkened, as if he was not very happy, "My senior brother is by my side now, his name is indeed Shen Ping, but it has nothing to do with you."

Xie Shu always treats people like this, except for Shen Ping who always smiles. When teased hard, he will just ignore Shen Ping for a while, but it won't be long before he will cautiously come over and call "senior brother" obediently.

Shen Ping has seen Xie Shu with various expressions, but he has never seen him like this.

Indifference, defensiveness, and subconscious maintenance of the "fake Shen Ping" beside him.

"Is there anything else you need?" The voice was extremely cold, as if Shen Ping raised his hand and opened his mouth now, it would make Xie Shu more vigilant.

Shen Ping took a step back, then suddenly turned and left.

He didn't see the strange color flashing across the other's eyes.

From the moment Xie Shu looked over, Shen Ping understood that Xie Shu's slightest indifference and guard against him would make him palpitate.

He left in a hurry, accidentally bumped into a passerby, and was scolded all over his face, only to apologize and leave in a hurry.

"Ugly!"

"It's not only ugly but also has good eyesight, it just feels bad luck to look at it!"

"You don't have eyes, get out!"

Shen Ping didn't know what happened, why everyone hated him so much, as if he was afraid of being contaminated with some filth.

He wanted to use his spiritual power to leave quickly, but it was useless anyway. He was pushed to the ground like a disabled person.

A puddle of water happened to be splashed on his hand, one of his sleeves was completely wet, and a lot was splashed on his cheeks, the smell was so bad that he almost wanted to vomit.

But he had no time to take care of it, because in the reflection in the water, a strange face reflected his gradually ferocious expression.

A big red spot covered half of his cheeks, there was an unhealed wound on his forehead, and a scar was winding under his eyes...

who is this

Shen Ping slowly touched his cheek, which was uneven, and the person in the reflection touched his face at the same time, his eyes suddenly widened.

No wonder Ah Shu didn't recognize him.

Shen Ping was relieved for a moment, it was not that Xie Shu ignored him, it was just that this face was different and he didn't recognize it.

However, just changing his face makes him unrecognizable. Shen Ping suddenly felt a little sad again, it turned out that apart from his face, Xie Shu only knew him to this extent.

"Are you okay?" A voice came from above her head, and Shen Ping froze instantly.

It's Xie Shu.

Did he react and recognize me?

Shen Ping began to feel a lot happier.

He raised his head slowly, and saw Xie Shu's expression of concern, but he suddenly sighed, "So it's you..."

It turns out...it didn't recognize me.

Shen Ping was depressed in an instant, and Xie Shu was like every time before, only reaching out to others when they were in need. Now in a mess, he is no different from the rest.

This kind of cognition made Shen Ping suddenly feel uncomfortable, but he didn't have the courage to explode.

So Shen Ping pushed Xie Shu's hand away, got up slowly, and walked in the opposite direction from Xie Shu.

Xie Shu frowned behind him, "You were injured."

"What the fuck!" Shen Ping thought to himself, what do you care about me, don't you have "Shen Ping"? I can't tell if the fake is too, you really disappoint me.

But he suddenly thought of something, stopped abruptly, turned his head and asked Xie Shu, "Where is Shen Ping beside you?"

Xie Shu originally thought that this person would just leave in a huff, but he turned around and questioned him fiercely.

Coupled with that ferocious face, it actually made him feel a little funny for a while.

Xie Shu was thinking about other things, but his face softened a lot. The defensiveness and indifference at that moment disappeared, and he suddenly changed into a smiling face, "Where is my senior brother going, what is your business?"

There was no mockery, no impatience, even Shen Ping could hear a joking tone.

He frowned, Xie Shu, you guys dare to turn around and say such things to me!

Shen Ping was sullen, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." He turned his head to leave, but his wrist tightened suddenly, and Xie Shu walked behind him at some point, and grabbed him.

"What are you doing!" Shen Ping subconsciously wanted to shake off Xie Shu's hand, but this guy's hand was so strong that he couldn't break free at all.

And the familiar tone rang in his ears, Shen Ping heard Xie Shu say, "Are you so patient?"

"Earlier I threatened that it was my senior brother Shen Ping, but...my senior brother is much more patient than you, at least...for me..."
