You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

After listening to the words of the senior from Tianyi Sect, Shi Zelan bowed to her respectfully again.

She looked at Shi Zelan and recalled, "The people of Yun Yanzong also lent me a helping hand."

Shi Zelan looked up at her in surprise, and the Tianyi Sect senior smiled and said, "Doesn't your sect have any records of this?"

Shi Zelan thought about it seriously, shook her head and said, "Senior, I am not very knowledgeable and only have a vague understanding of many things in our sect, so I dare not talk nonsense in front of you."

After Shi Zelan finished speaking, the Tianyi Sect senior was silent for a long time, then said, "When I was your age, I was more confident and proud than you."

Shi Zelan looked at her figure which had faded a little, and her heart moved. She said, "Senior, you are so beautiful and smart, do you have many good friends?"

She shook her head slowly: “I did have many good friends at that time.

Later, hahaha, kid, having two or three true friends is enough, if you have more, it won’t be beautiful anymore.”

Shi Zelan waited for her to continue, but the Tianyi Sect senior was in no mood to talk, so she fell silent.

Shi Zelan could only meditate and practice. Just like that, she opened her eyes and found that time had passed by in a flash.

She had never seen the senior from Tianyi Sect, and was a little anxious for a moment, so she called out, "Senior, are you still there?"

"exist.

My time is running out, kid."

The frail figure of the Tianyi Sect senior appeared. Shi Zelan was a little flustered when she saw him: "Senior, what can I do for you?"

“Hahaha, kid, you don’t have to do anything for me.

If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Kid, when you leave here, you must continue to look for your own opportunities.

Don't be anxious to leave, this place is good for your cultivation."

As she spoke, her figure swayed a few times. Shi Zelan was so anxious that he wanted to run over, so she waved at Shi Zelan.

"Kid, I've waited a thousand years, and now it's worth it to wait until you."

"Senior, could you please leave your title?"

"No."

Shi Zelan watched her figure disappear. She ran over at this time, but found nothing and fell out.

Her eyes were extremely bright. Shi Zelan immediately closed her eyes and tried to feel the surrounding environment, but found that there was still no life.

She felt a little panicked and called out to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, but still no response.

After a while, Shi Zelan opened his eyes and looked at the place in front of him.

Of course she also looked back to see where she came from, but found that she could no longer find it.

Shi Zelan reached out and touched the spotless ground, and her fingers felt the ground was extremely cold.

Shi Zelan changed into thick clothes and started walking forward, but after walking for a while, she found herself back to the starting point.

Shi Zelan thought of the senior from Tianyi Sect whom she had met before, so she bravely asked, "Is there any senior here?"

It was quiet, so quiet that she could only hear her own breathing.

Shi Zelan couldn't find any solution, so she just sat down and meditated.

Shi Zelan woke up again. She touched the ground with her fingers again, and this time she made a new discovery.

She took out a brick and tapped the ground gently. Finally, she found an empty spot and tapped it down hard.

A big hole appeared in front of her eyes. Shi Zelan thought she would slide down again, but she was sucked upwards by a suction force.

Her eyes were hot. Shi Zelan had covered her eyes and flew up based on her feeling. "Bang."

She bumped into something and started to panic. She used her spiritual sense to look around and saw rows of stone statues in front of her.

She smiled bitterly. If Xia Yu came into a place like this, he might be able to find the center of the formation quickly.

"I'm sorry I bumped into you."

Shi Zelan still apologized in a low voice. She didn't feel any malice in previous situations, so she should be more polite.

Shi Zelan walked around the stone statues but couldn't find any solution. He could only look at their standing posture and then learn from them.

Day after day, Shi Zelan didn't feel that life was difficult.

In winter, before Master Decheng left Yunyan Sect, he met with Master Wenhao and talked for a long time.

Zhenren Decheng and Zhenjun Wenhao said, "It will take a long time for me to return to the sect after I leave."

Master Wen Hao said to him, "When you are away from home, if you need anything, be sure to send a message back."

Master Decheng smiled. He thought that after he found Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, he would not get into any trouble while traveling around the world.

The snow was white, and Master Decheng arrived at Chaohu, Pingcheng, and then came to the lakeside.

When Master Decheng arrived, the lake had already frozen, and the residence of Shi Xiaoliu and three others by the lake was covered in snow, creating a beautiful scene.

When Master Decheng saw this, his heart sank. He walked around the residence several times and had to accept the reality.

When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went out, they probably didn't think about not being able to come back for a while, so they didn't take in the accommodation.

Master Decheng cleaned up the residence of Shi Xiaoliu and the other two with a wave of his hand, and then wandered around the area for several days, but he did not hear anyone mention any news about Shi Xiaoliu and the other two.

Time passed day after day, and Master Decheng kept his eyes on the lake. However, when he used his spiritual sense to look, he still could not find any trace of the three people.

Master Decheng had to report the news of the three people's disappearance back to the sect, and people from the Governor's Hall and the Law Hall rushed over.

When spring comes, the lake melts.

The people from the Governor's Hall left, and the people from the Legal Affairs Hall and Master Decheng dived to the bottom of the lake, but naturally found nothing.

In the summer, before the people from the Dharma Hall left, they looked at Master Decheng with a bit of sympathy in their eyes.

But Master Decheng insisted on staying. He believed that as long as Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were alive, they would definitely return to this place.

At the bottom of the lake, Shi Zelan watched the stone statue in front of him disappear just like that, and suddenly he felt new hope in his heart.

Perhaps after she has learned all the skills of the stone statues, she will be able to find the exit smoothly.

Shi Zelan felt secretly happy in her heart; she could feel that she was making progress every day.

Compared to Shi Zelan's good luck, Shi Xiaoliu's luck was not so good. He slipped and fell into a dilapidated herb garden.

The first things he faced were poisonous snakes and insects, and it was only after he had killed them for several days in a row that he had the chance to sit down and rest.

As soon as Shi Xiaoliu sat down, he arrived at another place where corpses were scattered all over the ground.

He began to collect the bones again, but he only finished half of the job.

He collected the corpses on the ground and originally wanted to find a place to bury them.

As a result, as soon as he thought about it, the wind blew and the corpses on the ground turned into ashes.

At this time, Shi Xiaoliu only hoped that Shi Zelan would not encounter the same thing as him, and also hoped that Xia Yu would be safe.

Shi Xiaoliu walked towards the wind and entered the Baicao Garden again. He once again faced poisonous insects. This time, he tried every possible way to drive them away. (End of this chapter)
