C17 Speak with Spirit
Shi Soong was in a bad mood.
All day long, Shi Soong had locked himself in his room. He didn't see anyone and didn't go out, not even a drop of water had entered.
Mu Touwu came to visit a few times, but he never heard Shi Soong's sound, let alone the door.
Mu Touwu was tongue-tied, but he still tried his best to persuade her. He said that a true man could yield, or a noble man could take revenge, but it was useless. Plus, he had many strange things to deal with in the city, so he could only come over occasionally to take a look.
Lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, Shi Soong thought of many things.
Shi Soong had only been down the mountain for a few days. Not counting the few moves he had made with Mu Touwu, Shi Soong had already fought with different people four times.
The most satisfying thing was, of course, the battle with the butcher and the others, Shi Soong felt as if he had found a hero.
Next, the iron head of Qiu Laosi, who was sitting beside the Wind and Fire Forest, became unbearable for Shi Soong, and he even had a little shadow in his heart.
Yellow-robed Elder, who had already reached the Void Realm, had made Shi Soong realize the true difference in strength.
Today, Blue-robed Youth did not kill anything. He toyed with a few tricks and made Shi Soong completely passive. That was equivalent to giving Shi Soong a second rod and shout.
It was a good start, but it was the end of the line. Shi Soong was confused as to what he should do in the future.
After a long time, Shi Soong slowly came back to his senses. He thought of Martial Uncle Xie, who cared for him so much, whose whereabouts were unknown, two of his best friends in the sect, and also his home and family. Gradually, the corner of his eyes became moist.
This little setback was nothing, but Shi Soong suddenly sat up.
He had too many things to do; he had to become stronger; he had to find Martial Uncle Xie's whereabouts; he had to protect the two best friends in the sect; he had to roam the world, explore the secrets of the world, find out the reason why he came here, and find his way home …
Since I'm wandering this strange world, how can I not be frustrated? But these frustrations can't beat me, Shi Soong!
Shi Soong jumped off the bed and waved his arms. His emotions surged. His originally somewhat dry courage and confidence once again returned to his heart like a gushing spring.
Become stronger, become stronger! The most important thing is that I need to become stronger! Shi Soong shouted with determination in his heart.
As the rain cleared up, a cool breeze blew. The densely packed stars in the sky started to twinkle brilliantly. It was actually already night time.
At this moment, Mu Touwu rushed over and knocked on the door: "Young Hero Shi?"
Shi Soong felt bitter in his heart, "Ai, what chivalrous hero or chivalrous hero? I'm ashamed to hear all of them …" As he replied, he got up and went to open the door. For the past day, Mu Touwu had been very concerned about him, but Shi Soong was still very grateful.
Mu Touwu saw Shi Soong open the door with a tired face, so he was happy inside and tried to persuade him again.
When Shi Soong said that he was fine, Mu Touwu did not continue speaking. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said: "The Skylark Sect has already sent a letter, and I have a message for you to receive it personally!"
"Oh?" Shi Soong was surprised. Transmitting a message meant that there was important information, so he immediately became alert.
Now, Martial Uncle Xie's whereabouts were unknown, and the tragic case of Hee Mansion extermination was still complicated. He still had to shoulder a heavy responsibility, and at a critical moment, he had to hold on and bear the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by the Eleventh Prince and Martial Uncle Xie.
Shi Soong let out a long breath as he thought about it. He pulled himself together and said, "Let's go!" He then strode out of the courtyard.
Mu Touwu saw Shi Soong's spirit was shaken and immediately felt refreshed. He immediately followed after Shi Soong.
Along the way, Shi Soong couldn't help but ask casually, "Are you busy with matters in the city right now?"
When they were locked in the room, Shi Soong seemed to be able to feel that Mu Touwu was in a hurry all day; he seemed to have a lot of work to do.
Mu Touwu's huge head immediately hit the nail on the head and started talking, "Ahem, I'm busy to death, especially one. Many people in the city are paralyzed today, and some people even fainted, causing panic. The garrison has sent many people to maintain order!"
Mu Touwu continued to shake his head and said, "If we check carefully, it's that green mist we encountered that acted as a monster. That mist spread out and was inhaled by a small amount of people around, resulting in a paralyzed state.
"We spent a lot of effort to persuade everyone that those symptoms are temporary and will recover on their own later!"
Mu Touwu walked in front and said. He didn't see Shi Soong behind him shaking his head and staring hard to find a crack in the ground.
That horrendous green fog was the last thing Shi Soong wanted to talk about. Shi Soong wanted to slap himself: "I'm going to die if I don't ask this question …"
"This guy is tired. It took a lot of effort to get everyone to settle down!" Mu Touwu shook his head and kept talking.
After walking for a while, the two of them finally arrived at the communication room. Mu Touwu brought Shi Soong directly to a secret room in the inner room. He opened the door and said, "Receive the letter inside yourself, I'm not going in!"
Shi Soong nodded and took two steps into the secret room. The door of the room was shut by Mu Touwu with a "dong" sound.
Shi Soong looked around, there was only an empty big table in the middle of the room, there were no other arrangements.
On the table stood a Language Spirit Bird. The Language Spirit Bird's entire body was covered in fiery red feathers, and a pair of golden eyes were currently sizing up Shi Soong.
After finally confirming Shi Soong's identity, the Language Spirit Bird actually opened her mouth and said: "Disciple of the third level of Skylark Sect, Team Eleven and Team Shi Soong!" There was a dignified tone in his words.
Shi Soong immediately answered and moved over. The Language Spirit Bird whispered into Shi Soong's ear and started talking.
The Language Spirit Bird sent a message, which Shi Soong was very familiar with when he was still in the sect. Not only could the Language Spirit Bird learn the language, it could also remember the long paragraph of words and repeat it word by word.
After being tamed, the Language Spirit Bird could be assigned to a fixed location to send messages, and could be designated to use a portrait to specify the person who would receive the message. Other than facing the person alone, the Language Spirit Bird did not say a single word to the message, it was extremely confidential.
The messages that need to be delivered in this way are usually important information that can only be known by a specific person.
Shi Soong could not help but nod silently as he listened to the Language Spirit Bird.
"It's over!" After saying that last sentence, the Language Spirit Bird began to pace away, walking around the table.
Shi Soong recalled the words of the Language Spirit Bird, his face became serious, he paused for a moment, then waved his hand to call the Language Spirit Bird over. His finger gently touched the Language Spirit Bird's head, and with a twist, the Language Spirit Bird's eyes immediately turned red, and quieted down.
"Disciple Shi Soong understands. I will do my best and will not disappoint you!" Shi Soong's words were filled with respect, as if he was replying to his Eleventh Elder.
With that, Shi Soong let go of the finger that was pointing at the Language Spirit Bird's head.
The color in Language Spirit Bird's eyes immediately returned to normal. She shook her head and raised it to shake it off before speaking: "Disciple Shi Soong understands. Disciple will do his best and will not let you down!" Although his voice was different, the tone he used was exactly the same as Shi Soong.
Shi Soong nodded his head in satisfaction. The Language Spirit Bird would send a reply back to the messenger without changing anything, so there was no need to worry. After pondering for a moment, Shi Soong opened the stone door and walked out.
Seeing Shi Soong walk out, Mu Touwu said, "Is it over?"
Wu Tie nodded and said, "You can send it back now." Shi Soong knew that the person who had sent the Language Spirit Bird to Yanhui City was undoubtedly Mu Touwu.
"Alright!" Mu Touwu nodded.
"Er — —" Shi Soong frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In Yanhui City, how many people already know my identity?"
Mu Touwu clenched his fingers and said, "Only three or five people. I've only seen you before, I don't know where you came from." As he finished speaking, he looked at Shi Soong again with a strange expression.
After Shi Soong heard this, he nodded and said solemnly, "From now on, my identity must be kept a secret. Tell those people who know my identity to keep it a secret! And don't let anyone else know about me either. "
This was the first time Mu Touwu saw Shi Soong being so serious, so he immediately nodded his head.
After a pause, Shi Soong continued, "From today onwards, we can only have one-way contact with each other. No one else is allowed to interfere."
"Also, when we meet in the future, if I don't take the initiative to recognize you, then pretend you don't know me. Don't take the initiative to show that you know me."
Shi Soong's series of serious words caused Mu Touwu's expression to turn serious. He nodded continuously, but in his heart, he was suspicious. He did not know what message Shi Soong had just received from the Language Spirit Bird.
