C2 No Root in the World

The sun was setting, and the night was falling.

Darkness had arrived as expected, slowly surrounding the entire wilderness. The two of them had yet to find a place to rest. Sheng Lianshan had no choice but to bring Yinn to a mound beside the road and start a fire to rest. They were prepared to endure the night on the spot.

The few mouthfuls of water in the water bag were completely divided by the two of them. The dried rations were almost ready. Sheng Lianshan sat cross-legged beside the fire and looked at the water bag that was completely empty. His face was full of worry. If they could not make it to Weiyang City in time tomorrow, their stomachs would be rumbling with hunger, their mouths would be dry, and their mouths would be dry. Together with the scorching hot sun, it was hard to say how long the two of them could last.

Even if they did make it to Weiyang City, the noble lords in the city wouldn't open the city to accept refugees at this time of the year. They would have to find another way to enter the city.

He thought of the horses he had captured a few days ago and could not help but feel annoyed. That horse was taken away by a black shadow that came out of nowhere in the middle of the night. The luggage and most of the rations on the horse were lost as a result, which resulted in such an embarrassing situation.

At that time, Sheng Lianshan had chased it for an entire night. In the end, he had lost track of the black shadow. Later on, he had made many inquiries along the way and heard that it was probably the doing of a ghost called Five Ghosts in the northwest wilderness. Hence, he had followed the legend of the Five Ghosts all the way to this place.

Unfortunately, along the way, he made inquiries. Everyone's expression changed when they heard the name of the Five Ghosts. No one could give him any clues, but they still found nothing.

There were endless troubles ahead, but Yinn did not know.

He curled up beside Sheng Lianshan, staring blankly at the bonfire, lost in thought, thinking about his parents. When Sheng Lianshan was still thinking about what to do tomorrow, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Young Master, you said that you are a person without roots. Then your father Mother, your father, Is it also..."

He did not finish his words, afraid of angering Sheng Lianshan. However, Sheng Lianshan did not care. He answered casually, "You guessed wrong. I do not have parents."

"No?" Yinn looked doubtful. How come there are no parents in the world? "Young Master, you are... Not in... He wanted to lie, but then he thought Sheng Lianshan was his savior. They respected each other, so it didn't seem appropriate to say so. So he stopped again.

Sheng Lianshan smiled bitterly and said, "I am an orphan. I really don't have parents. It was my master who raised me." After saying that, he threw a dried branch into the bonfire.

"Your master?" Yinn asked curiously, "Who is that?"

The fire lit up again. Sheng Lianshan looked at the bonfire and said slowly, "He is a swordsman, a very powerful swordsman." He touched the sword on the side.

Yinn also looked at the sword next to him and asked curiously, "Then how did your master find you?"

The flickering bonfire illuminated Sheng Lianshan's face. His expression was a little absent-minded. Clearly, he was reminiscing about the past. After hearing Yinn's question, he turned back and asked, "That was many years ago. Do you want to hear about it?"

Yinn nodded. He could not help but move closer to listen carefully to Sheng Lianshan's story.

Sheng Lianshan organized his thoughts and began to talk slowly.

Sixteen years ago, there was a famous swordsman who was known as the best in the world. When he was thirty-seven years old, he carried a sword alone and prepared to ascend Mount Kunlun to seek the Heavenly Dao.

This incident shocked countless people at that time, because everyone knew that Mount Kunlun was the lower garden palace of the Heavenly God in the mortal world. There was an extraordinary level above it. If a mortal could ascend to the peak of Mount Kunlun, they would be able to meet the Heavenly God and receive his teachings. They would be able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and transcend life and death.

However, since ancient times, only those with great virtues could be summoned to climb the mountain and meet the Heavenly God at the peak. Thus, although there were countless people who flocked to it, other than the eight Sacred Ancestors, no one else had ever succeeded.

The swordsman was very powerful, but he had also failed.

However, unlike the others, he was not willing to give up. Although he could no longer climb the mountain, he was unwilling to give up. On a rainy night, he furiously questioned the heavens and the gods. He did not know why his martial arts had already reached the Apotheosis realm. He had already seen through all the principles of the mortal world, but he still could not see the truth of this world.

This was originally just a helpless release, but he did not expect the heavens to really respond.

A baby appeared in the desolate forest.

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or an accident, but the swordsman saw the insignificant baby in the heavy rain and the gloomy darkness. He chose to save him.

He went up the mountain alone, but he did not go down alone. Instead, he brought the infant down the mountain with him. After he went down the mountain, he arrived at the Haojing, the capital city. Seeing the Great Sect Uncle at that time, the two of them had a secret discussion for a whole night. After the sunrise, The swordsman took his child and left Haojing. From then on, he had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Sheng Lianshan was that child.

In the past 16 years, he had been wandering around the Central Plains with that swordsman. The two of them relied on each other and relied on each other. The swordsman not only raised him up, but also taught him a lot of martial arts. He also taught him a lot of principles.

However, there was one thing he never wanted to say to Sheng Lianshan.

That was his background.

Sheng Lianshan never asked at the beginning. He knew that swordsman had a bad temper and didn't like people asking too much. Since he didn't say it now, it must be for his own good or not. Therefore, he had been waiting for the swordsman to tell him one day.

However, this process didn't go smoothly. Before that day came, many strange things happened to him one after another, causing him to continuously question his identity.

The first strange thing was the people who came to seek revenge.

When the swordsman was young, he had offended many people in order to fight for the title of number one under the heavens. During the years when the two of them wandered around, Every thirty to fifty years, people would come to seek revenge. Initially, Sheng Lianshan thought that these people were here to challenge swordsmen and take revenge, but gradually, he realized that some of them were here for him.

These people all called Sheng Lianshan "rootless man." This was also the first time he had heard of this word. They showed extreme eagerness towards him, as if he was hiding some kind of treasure. Meanwhile, there were some people who directly called him a monster, wishing they could kill him first and then quickly.

Everyone was dead. A swordsman's martial arts wasn't just boasting. It could really be said that he was number one under the heavens. However, the more people died in front of Sheng Lianshan, the more he felt that something wasn't right. Why were these people looking for him? Why was it that a rare and powerful swordsman wanted to kill Sheng Lianshan? Enemies so many masters for an unknown child?

Before he could figure out the reason, another strange thing happened to him.

He began to hallucinate.

Whenever it was late at night or when there was no one around, he would always come to another place in a daze. There were men with hair shorter than eyebrows, metal cubes that could run without animal guidance, straight roads made of black stone, and tall buildings made of white stone. The words China, Asia, Earth, and the Universe kept repeating themselves in his ears, almost driving him crazy.

Sheng Lianshan did not know where this was, or what he saw, but he knew that all of this did not belong to this world.

All of this frightened him, and he even began to doubt his true identity.

He did not know why he had to see those things. He did not know why those people would call him a demon, and he did not know who he was. These questions tortured him day and night, making it hard for him to sleep and eat, unable to sleep at night.

And not long ago, after the last strange thing happened, it finally became the last straw that crushed him.

That Great Sect's uncle who knew the details of his background died from illness.

Before his death, the Great Sect's uncle had told someone about Sheng Lianshan. A few days after his death, when Sheng Lianshan and the old swordsman were still wandering around, many soldiers and soldiers suddenly appeared to capture Sheng Lianshan.

These soldiers and soldiers were all killed by the swordsman and his servants, but Sheng Lianshan could no longer bear this feeling of helplessness. He could no longer sit and wait, so he took the initiative to ask the swordsman a question, hoping to get an answer.

The swordsman still didn't tell Sheng Lianshan the answer, but he didn't stop Sheng Lianshan from seeking the truth.

He told Sheng Lianshan that he had to find out the truth himself. No one else could help him. He gave Sheng Lianshan his sword and left some clues, pointing Sheng Lianshan in a direction. The end of the path pointed by the swordsman was the source of all the mysteries, Kunlun.

That was why he would come to the place where the drought was wreaking havoc by himself with a sword on his back.

It was a pity that he did not succeed. Not only did the two shores of Wei River become a mess due to the drought, he also encountered ghosts and ghosts. He had lost all his horses and rations.

This was only the first step of the long journey. He did not know how far this journey to Kunlun was. Among them, there were thousands of miles of barren land, terrible weather, endless corpses and countless dangers waiting for him.

Those who coveted the secrets on his body, those who wished for his death, and things that were not human, were in far more danger than what he had seen in the past sixteen years. Moreover, there were no swordsmen around to protect him anymore.

This was simply a road to death, but Sheng Lianshan did not hesitate.

Because no matter how much danger there was, it could not compare to a simple belief.

There was water without roots in the world, how could there be someone without roots?

When Sheng Lianshan said this, his tone became somewhat excited. "Master told me that everything must have its roots. Only by finding this root will you know who you are, why you live, and where you will go in the future. " People should live well, so I will not hesitate to find out where I came from. "

He saw Yinn's confused expression and said, "You too. Your father Mother risked her life to protect you. You must also live well, understand?"

Yinn nodded as if he did not understand. He was infected by Sheng Lianshan's tone, and he looked a little excited.

Darkness had returned to the surroundings, and the bonfire had already been extinguished. The only thing left was the hazy moonlight. Sheng Lianshan fiddled with the bonfire. Seeing that there was no way to ignite it again, he looked at the moon that had risen to the sky and said, "It's getting late. Rest early. We have to hurry tomorrow."

Yinn replied. He leaned back and wanted to lie down more comfortably. However, he immediately sat up after lying down. He had a strange expression on his face.

Sheng Lianshan was cleaning up the bonfire and his remaining things. When he saw Yinn lie down and sit up again, he could not help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yinn did not answer. Instead, he turned around and climbed to the top of the mound. Then, he looked outside. This time, Sheng Lianshan was completely dumbfounded. He followed Yinn and climbed up the mound. Just as he was about to ask again, Yinn suddenly pulled his head back and pulled him back.

Sheng Lianshan saw that he was trembling slightly and his eyes were filled with intense fear. He could not help but ask doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

However, Yinn did not react at the first moment. He only recovered when Sheng Lianshan asked him what was going on for the second time. He stammered to Sheng Lianshan, "There... there is..."

"There is a monster!"
