Chapter 8
Shen Sui jumped off the altar, took out the lighting beads and walked into the secret passage, not forgetting to turn around and urge Lin Huaizhu to follow.
The beating candles flickered in Lin Huaizhu's dark eyes, he pursed his lips and glanced at the unknown passage, and entered the secret passage under Shen Sui's continuous urging.
Just in case, Lin Huaizhu left a few paper ghosts guarding the tablet so that he wouldn't be able to get in and out.
It was a long staircase extending downwards, as wide as four horses abreast.
As soon as you enter the passage, you can feel a strong damp wind, which means that the following is ventilated and there will be no lack of oxygen.
Just after going down seven or eight steps, the entrance door was suddenly closed, and the sound of mechanism gears turning could be heard around.
It seems that the altar that was displaced outside has been restored to its original state.
Hearing the movement, Shen Sui showed the fear that an eight-year-old child should have. He swallowed and said, "It's okay, there should be a mechanism to open the entrance below. Who designed the mechanism to only enter and not exit."
After speaking dryly, he laughed a few times, and asked Lin Huaizhu nervously, "You are right, my ancestors should not be so stupid."
Lin Huaizhu: "Yes."
Shen Sui threw a lighting bead to Lin Huaizhu, "Anyway, since it's here, there is absolutely no reason not to go in and have a look, but I don't know if there will be a heavenly rank to ascend to immortality."
The stairs are very long, you can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know where to go. You can only feel the wind blowing mixed with a stream of damp water vapor.
After walking for a while, they finally reached the end of the passage.
It was a vermilion solid couch door, inlaid with nine vertical and horizontal golden door nails on the door, and the door knocker was in the shape of a beast head ring.
The door was unlocked.
Knowing that there is no mechanism inside the door, Shen Sui glanced at it with the lighting beads, then raised his hand and pushed the heavy door open.
There is a river outside Yuelin City, and the secret room is under that river, where the ancestor of the Shen family set up a spirit-gathering formation.
Shen Sui only opened a crack in the door, and abundant spiritual energy flowed out from inside. He took a breath comfortably, feeling that his heart and lungs had been washed.
"There's a lot of aura in this place." Shen Sui couldn't wait to push open the door.
The inside of the door is not completely dark, there are many tortoise and crane-shaped copper lamps, the wicks are made of shark oil, which will last for ten thousand years, and there are many night pearls inlaid in the walls, the whole hall is as bright as day.
On the dome of the main hall, there is a spirit-gathering formation, which gathers all the spirit energy of the river in Yuelin City.
This formation is extremely exquisite, the entire dome is like a night full of bright stars, the stars are arranged according to the astrology of the Taoist gate, like a huge funnel, and the starlight from the tip of the funnel is projected on the futon in the center of the hall.
That starlight is also called the Lord of Fighting Numbers.
Shen Sui walked over and sat down on the soft and shiny futon, feeling refreshed immediately, as if the marrow had been washed.
so comfortable.
Shen Sui beckoned to Lin Huaizhu, "Come quickly, this is the place where the aura is most abundant."
This time he was really excited, this place was even better than he thought.
Originally, this was Lin Huaizhu's golden finger, but now it was discovered by their joint expedition, which means that Shen Sui can also practice here.
Lin Huaizhu walked over solemnly with a beautiful face.
As soon as he passed by, he was pulled by Shen Sui. Lin Huaizhu didn't struggle, and sat down with the opponent's strength.
The two of them were young, and it wasn't too crowded to sit on the same futon.
Shen Sui leaned back, leaned lazily on Lin Huaizhu's body, and looked up at the shining dome.
"Although there is no ancient secret realm, this place is not bad. In the future, we will practice here together, and then we will ascend to immortality together."
"In this way, there will be a caretaker in the sky." Shen Sui gently touched Lin Huaizhu with the back of his head, "What do you think?"
Lin Huaizhu's eyes fluctuated for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes and still only said "um".
Shen Sui waited for a while, but Lin Huaizhu still didn't increase his favorability.
Shen Sui thought that this move would at least give him seven or eight points of favor in front of Lin Huaizhu, but he didn't know that he would not have one point.
Knowing that Lin Huaizhu was difficult to deal with, but Shen Sui never thought that it would be so difficult.
Shen Sui felt a sense of frustration, he rarely stopped talking.
Two seven or eight-year-old children sat back to back under the 'stars', and at first glance they seemed to be somewhat tender.
In fact, Shen Sui's heart hurts a lot.
And Lin Huaizhu was also speculating about Shen Sui's intentions tonight, and the direction he guessed was not very positive.
It is very difficult for people to get rid of their preconceived subjective impressions, not to mention that when he met Shen Sui, the other party was extremely vicious, humiliated him many times, and wanted to kill him, how could he become better overnight?
The former Shen Sui was extremely harsh not only on him, but also on the servants around him, ranging from beating and scolding to insulting and killing.
If he really got better, then something important must have happened.
Lin Huaizhu didn't believe the excuse Shen Sui gave him before, just because he found out that he wasn't Shen Yuanshan's illegitimate son?
How can it be so easy to completely get rid of the viciousness of people and become a good person with a kind heart?
Lin Huaizhu has seen the evil buried under the hypocrisy. He has been deceived by the hypocrisy for many years, so naturally he will not easily believe in Shen Sui's repentance.
Shen Sui and Lin Huaizhu looked at every inch of the place, and also found out all the secrets of the exercises.
In the original plot, Lin Huaizhu hid here for two days and two nights, because Shen Yuanshan was not at home, and no one cared about his disappearance.
He has a photographic memory and spent two days writing down all the exercises.
Afraid of being discovered, Lin Huaizhu rarely came here after that, only once or twice a year, but each time he would stay for two or three days.
This time Lin Huaizhu didn't have to carry Shen Sui on his back, as long as Shen Yuanshan was not at home, they could stay here for an hour every day.
Shen Sui made an appointment with Lin Huaizhu, and after Shen Yuanshan went out for two days, they would secretly come here to practice again.
Coming out of the secret room, the depression in Shen Sui's heart had long since disappeared without a trace.
If this matter were really that simple, the system would not have found him from another world. Moreover, Lin Huaizhu had just experienced the tragedy of exterminating his family, so it was normal for him to be wary of outsiders.
Shen Sui has always been open-minded and open-minded. After calming down, he went to Lin Huaizhu's room and slept with him at night.
In the past few days, they slept on the same bed, covered with a quilt, and slept on the same pillow.
Both of them sleep well, and there has never been such a thing as grabbing the quilt.
But in the middle of sleeping tonight, Shen Sui not only rolled the entire quilt under his body, but also tilted his head on Lin Huaizhu's shoulder.
At first, they were just leaning against each other, but later they pushed forward and leaned on it as a pillow, and then they turned sideways and put half of Lin Huaizhu's shoulder under his head as a pillow.
Shen Sui pressed Lin Huaizhu to sleep soundly.
Lin Huaizhu pushed Shen Sui, and the other party obediently lay back on the pillow, but after a while he rolled over and fell over again.
After going through this for five or six times, Lin Huaizhu had no choice but to move inside, letting Shen Sui sleep on his back like a crab.
In the darkness, the corner of Shen Sui's mouth twitched, and he pressed against the inevitable Lin Huaizhu again.
It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to take a little revenge if you think about it.
Although Lin Huaizhu would eventually find the secret room, Shen Sui sent the golden finger to him half a year in advance.
As a result, Lin Huaizhu didn't appreciate it at all, and didn't give him half of his favorability.
Little scumbag!
After sleeping like this for the whole night, Shen Sui took up more than half of the bed when he woke up the next day, and Lin Huaizhu slept against the wall like a little wife.
Even so, he did not escape the fate of being Shen Sui's pillow.
After being pillowed all night, my left arm was numb and painful.
Shen Sui moved Lin Huaizhu's arm, with a guilty expression on his face, "I'm sorry, I usually sleep well, but I don't know what happened last night and I feel very tired."
Lin Huaizhu pushed Shen Sui away calmly, and said in a low voice, "You don't need to press it, your arm is fine."
Shen Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, next time I want to do this again, you must wake me up, don't be reluctant."
Lin Huaizhu yelled, even yelled several times, but Shen Sui pretended to be asleep and didn't wake up at all.
But Lin Huaizhu didn't want to get entangled in this matter, "Yes."
"Since you're all right, let's get out of bed and have breakfast." Shen Sui was already hungry, got dressed and got out of bed.
After breakfast, the steward of Shen's residence came over and said that Shen Yuanshan had agreed to Lin Huaizhu's admission to the martial arts hall, and let Shen Sui, who was recovering from his injuries, also go.
Shen Sui and Shen Yuanshan's thoughts coincided with each other.
He originally planned to ask Shen Yuanshan after dinner if Lin Huaizhu could go to the martial arts hall with him, but he didn't expect the other party to send someone here first.
The martial arts hall is the same as the ancient school, but the former teaches qi condensing practice, while the latter teaches Confucian poems, books, rites, and changes.
This novel sets that the spiritual root can only be tested at the age of fourteen. Before the age of fourteen, most children will be sent to the martial arts hall to practice.
Those who can go to the martial arts hall are the children of aristocratic families, and the families have intertwined interests and are familiar with each other.
Shen Sui and Lin Huaizhu appeared in the martial arts hall together, which attracted many people's attention.
It's just that some people looked at it blatantly, while some people looked at it secretly, wanting to see what the illegitimate son brought back by Shen Yuanshan looked like.
Faced with these curious, entertaining, or schadenfreude gazes, Shen Sui had a frank face.
I think when he was in high school, because he offended a rich second generation, the other party put him in an orphanage and publicized the fact that he could only go to school with state subsidies.
At that time, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, which was when his self-esteem was the strongest, but he was still able to move in all directions and remain calm.
Shen Sui's academics have always been excellent, and he is the face of the orphanage. Every time the superior inspects or donates to the orphanage, the director will let him show up.
Shen Sui talked to people when he saw people, and half of his ability to talk nonsense was trained in the orphanage.
"Shen Sui, when did your mother give birth to such a big brother for you? Could it be yesterday?"
A malicious ridicule sounded.
The crowd dispersed automatically, and a seven or eight-year-old boy came. His braids were tied with colorful ropes, and he looked like a colorful parrot at first glance.
Fox eyes, crescent lips, and tear moles are all facial features that beauties have.
But he was bloated, with a flying fleshy face, coupled with flamboyant hair, it was simply too horrible to look at.
This person is called Guan Daijun, a little demon king with the same name as the original owner.
The official family has a deep relationship with Xuan Tian Sect, the number one sect of cultivating immortals, so they think highly of themselves, unlike other families in Yuelin City who are respectful to Shen Yuanshan.
As with the old, so with the young.
The relationship between the original owner and Guan Daijun is like fire and water.
Seeing the vicious little cannon fodder No. 2 coming out, Shen Sui immediately protected Lin Huaizhu behind him, and was about to fuck the character design of his beloved brother madman
The author has something to say:
Now both of them don't like each other, but they are so passionate about each other.
They are all made from lotus root, and they are full of heart eyes, so don't say anything about anyone.
Ha ha ha ha.
