"What on earth are they talking about?"
Far away, on the teleportation array, Zuo Liu touched his chin and finally couldn't help but ask a question.
They stood here and could only see Jianchou's back.
After seeing the two of them talking for a few words, Wu Duan actually showed a look of surprise on his face, and he looked at Xie Buchen twice more. Several people really felt itchy in their hearts.
However, no matter how hard they pricked up their ears, they couldn't hear what they said.
With a nimble movement of his fingers, Mr. Ruhua glanced at Xie Buchen, who remained calm, and then looked back at Wu Duan, who was still communicating with Jianchou. He snorted, "To talk to someone from Kunwu, you have to set up a sound transmission formation. Tsk, I see that Fellow Daoist Chou has too many romantic relationships..."
"… "
How dare you talk about others
Zuo Liu glanced at the blooming pink peach blossom on the lapel of Ruhua Gongzi and felt a chill down his spine.
Lu Xiangleng also felt that the scene just now seemed a little unimaginable.
I have heard that Kunwu Hengxu's twelve disciples are all gifted geniuses. Even after Xie Buchen came along, their brilliance has never been completely overshadowed. Wu Duan has been practicing for 520 years. How could a real "Nascent Soul Old Monster" show such an expression? Or is it related to Xie Buchen
The mysterious relationship between Jianchou and Xie Buchen suddenly came to Lu Xiangleng's mind, and the hidden worry in her heart gradually rose again.
After a while, Jianchou finally finished talking to Wu Duan, and they bowed to each other and said goodbye, then walked towards this side.
As soon as he turned around and walked closer, Jianchou realized that everyone was looking at him strangely.
There was a gleam of curiosity in Zuo Liu's eyes, while Lu Xiangleng was slightly worried. Ruhua Gongzi looked her up and down sourly, while Xiahou She looked at her indifferently and quickly looked away.
Of course, there is also Xie Buchen.
His gaze withdrew from Wu Duan and slowly fell back to meet Jianchou's.
Calm, profound, and with a hint of warmth hidden within its indifference and ruthlessness, there is also a hint of unfathomable divine light in it.
I guess everyone is curious about what I asked, right
Actually, I didn't ask anything.
Wu Duan's words echoed in Jianchou's mind: "Junior Brother Xie has an outstanding talent, and Master has a special liking for him. Master stopped teaching people in person more than three hundred years ago, but now he is personally instructing him. No one knows what Master taught him, but we only know that he learned Zhuoran Sword Intent from Senior Brother Zhao Zhuo, Jiangliu Sword Intent from Senior Brother Yue He, and Hermit Sword Intent from Junior Brother Wang Que. This man is different from my other brothers in Kunwu. He is cold-hearted and I cannot see through him."
The smile on his lips deepened a little, and Jianchou casually stood in the teleportation array and said, "I only talked to Senior Brother Wu Duan about a few private matters, which have nothing to do with this trip."
Everyone showed an indescribable expression: You are talking nonsense.
Jianchou didn't care about everyone's expressions, he just smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go to Dengtian Island now."
At this point, she suddenly paused, turned around, and looked at Xie Buchen: "Isn't it Dengtian Island, Brother Xie?"
True Man Hengxu said that Xie Buchen had been to the hidden world and was quite familiar with the situation, so he was surprised to see Chou asking this question.
only…
There was a hint of sarcasm in this question that only Xie Buchen could hear.
But he was not angry, he just nodded, and he didn't seem to be arrogant, and said: "There is a teleportation formation in the Hidden Realm of Qingfeng Temple that can teleport to Dengtian Island. It is the formation left by Senior Sister Jianchou's master, but it is seriously damaged. When I came back from the Hidden Realm, I guessed that there might be people coming later, so I repaired the formation in front of the Hidden Realm. Now we just need to go to Dengtian Island. After I connect the formation of Dengtian Island with the Hidden Realm, we can teleport directly to the Hidden Realm, saving the trouble of crossing the sea."
"Can you repair the teleportation array?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ruhua raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately looked at him.
Xie Buchen nodded slightly: "I know a thing or two."
"… "
Know a thing or two
The handsome man pursed his lips, sneered for some reason, and stopped talking.
There are few people in these 19 continents who are proficient in formations, unless they are from the Yin and Yang Sects in the Northern Territory.
It is good enough if one out of a hundred cultivators knows the basics of the formation. As for those who can repair the teleportation formation, they are even rarer. Most of them are old monsters with very high cultivation and hard work.
Although Xie Buchen is a disciple of Kunwu, he is only at the Jindan stage. How could he actually repair the formation
Ruhua Gongzi would not think that he was bragging, after all, his colleagues were not blind.
He sneered, just to thank Buchen for his seemingly humble “knowledgeable things”!
Being able to repair the teleportation array, yet only claiming to know a thing or two, how hypocritical! It makes others seem like they know nothing.
The scene became a little cold for a moment.
Facing the sneer from Ruhua Gongzi, Xie Buchen did not show any anger on his face. He remained calm and seemed as if he had not heard it at all.
Jianchou was so happy that his heart blossomed.
She understood Xie Buchen, and to him, "knowing a thing or two" was really the truth, because there were many formations in the world, and Xie Buchen had only been on the path of cultivation for three years, so what he knew could only be considered "a thing or two" at best.
But who can blame him for being unpopular
Long before setting out, Jianchou had already obtained another map of the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple from Nie Xiaowan. Everyone also knew that Xie Buchen had concealed something in the hall for various reasons, so it was impossible for them to be unprepared for him from the beginning.
In this way, no matter how normal what Xie Buchen said was, it would not sound right to everyone.
It is undeniable that Jianchou's earlier plan might have been without any ulterior motive.
But she had another map in her hand, so how could she put her familiar friend in danger alone
It’s all Xie Buchen’s fault.
Jianchou smiled, took out a teleportation talisman from his Qiankun bag, held it in his hand, and said, "In that case, let's go to Dengtian Island first."
With a "pop" sound.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jianchou crushed the teleportation talisman.
A hazy light immediately emanated from the entire teleportation array, and in the blink of an eye, several people disappeared from the spot.
The autumn sky is a clear deep blue.
The thirteen islands are full of legends about the immortal path. The lights of many magic weapons flash across the sky, either toward the distant blue sea or toward the majestic land of the Nineteen Continents nearby.
The thirteenth island is named Dengtian, which means "reaching heaven in one step".
It is said that once a monk who comes from an isolated island on earth to seek the truth passes this island, he can attain enlightenment and become an immortal.
The teleportation array emitted several rays of light, and Jianchou and six others appeared in the array.
Zuo Liu took a step forward, feeling a little excited: "This is my first time leaving the Nineteen Continents!"
The handsome boy standing behind rolled his eyes.
Except for Zuo Liu, the rest had all seen the world. Jianchou also came from an isolated island on earth and had seen the appearance of Dengtian Island, so he looked calm.
She looked at Xie Buchen and said, "There was a problem with the teleportation formation of our master. We were only teleported to Zhanye Island. I don't know which formation is on Dengtian Island."
Xie Buchen didn't look at her, but just nodded when he heard it.
There are quite a few formations engraved around here. Half of them came from the West Sea Square, a small half came from the Wangjiang Tower and the Wanghai Tower, and a very small number came from powerful monks. Most of them were built and used only once before being abandoned.
If it weren't for their group of people, the formation left by Fudaoshan would also be included.
Wearing a green robe and holding a long sword, Xie Buchen walked among several formations and stopped in front of a formation that was half covered by mud. He said, "This is it. The damage to this teleportation formation is not too serious. It can be repaired in half an hour."
"So long?"
Zuo Liu was shocked.
Xie Buchen didn't mind his rudeness, he just smiled and said: "If there is a powerful cultivator here, maybe it can be repaired in a moment, but my cultivation is insignificant, so I have to spend twice as much time."
He said this in a very polite and generous manner.
At this point, Zuo Liu didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
He is a gangster after all, but I didn't expect that he would be fooled at this moment.
Jianchou sneered in his heart, thinking that although Zuo Liu called himself a gangster, his mind was still too simple, so he was about to finish the story for him. Unexpectedly, from afar, a sad and angry shout was faintly heard: "It's you!"
Everyone heard it and turned around to look into the distance.
On a small reef far away, there seemed to be several monks standing, and they seemed to be having a dispute.
There were a few rays of light from magical weapons hovering in the sky, probably coming to watch the fun.
Somehow, Jianchou felt that the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had heard it before.
Her spiritual awareness couldn't reach that far, so she only looked at other people.
The handsome boy clapped his paper fan and suddenly flew up from the ground and headed over there.
"There's something interesting to watch. Anyway, it will take Brother Xie half an hour to repair the teleportation array. I'll go and take a look first."
"I'll go check it out too!"
Zuo Liu's eyes lit up and he quickly slapped his thigh and followed him.
Xiahou She took a look at the broken teleportation array, walked away without saying a word, found a relatively clean stone, sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.
"The Demon Sealing Sword Sect is used to producing people with hot tempers, but I've never seen anyone as gloomy as this one."
Lu Xiang looked at Xiahou She's figure coldly and said this.
There are too many rumors about Xiahou She, and no one knows which ones are true and which ones are false.
She didn't think any more and just said to Jianchou, "I heard that many cultivators around here have collected new things and are selling them on the Thirteen Islands. I'll take this opportunity to look around and maybe I can get some herbs I need. Daoist Jianchou, do you want to go with me?"
Although half an hour is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator, after all, once they arrive at the isolated island on earth, they will no longer have the opportunity to obtain various materials from the world of cultivation.
Although they had already made sufficient preparations in Kunwu, it was always better to be prepared.
But after hearing what Lu Xiangleng said, Jianchou shook his head and looked at Xie Buchen.
At this moment, he was flicking his sleeves, causing a gust of wind to remove all the dirt filling the gaps in the formation, revealing the complex lines.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for repairing the formation here. Someone has to look after it, but you can't leave."
There is a deep meaning in these words.
In just a flash, Lu Xiangleng understood the interests involved.
She also glanced at Xie Buchen, and naturally remembered some information that was concealed in Yihe Palace. At that moment, she only smiled at Jianchou and nodded slightly: "Then Xiang Leng will go first."
Jianchou nodded and watched Lu Xiangleng walk towards the other end of Dengtian Island.
There were a few monks standing there, seemingly communicating with each other. This was a common situation on Dengtian Island. Most of the time, they had acquired something new and wanted to sell it.
Everyone left, and only Jianchou and Xie Buchen were left there.
The formation, although seemingly small, is actually more than two meters wide and involves space teleportation, so its complexity is beyond imagination.
Xie Buchen took out a dagger made of rhinoceros horn from his sleeve. On the tip of the dagger, which was the size of a little finger, there was a dark ink-colored spot.
Jianchou walked over and took a closer look. It was actually not a dot of ink, but a large and densely packed formation!
Complex lines are outlined on the tip of the rhino horn dagger, delicate and dense, so at first glance it looks like a spot of ink, dyeing the tip of the rhino horn dagger black.
Creating an array formation requires gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but if a cultivator relies solely on his own strength to set up the array, he would be exhausted before he even finishes setting up the array, so cultivators need to rely on external objects.
The formation engraved on the rhinoceros horn condenses spiritual energy and is made into swords, pens, swords and other objects. They can all represent the cultivators to infuse spiritual power into each line of the formation.
Other people's Lingxi horn magic weapons may be dark gray or uneven black and white, but the Lingxi horn dagger in Xie Buchen's hand is a strange purple-gray color, not to mention the extremely complex formation engraved on the tip.
Although he was not very familiar with the art of formation, Chou could tell at a glance that the origin of this Lingxi horn dagger was extraordinary.
Xie Buchen held the dagger and made a deep cut on the lines of the formation.
He didn't turn around, but seemed to see through Jianchou's thoughts, and said, "This dagger is called Bai Ye, and it was obtained in the hidden world. It was used by Bai Xuan, the master of Yin Sect's formation, to carve formations in the Nascent Soul stage."
Jianchou raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and saw his hand, which was steady without any trembling, accurately drawing more lines on the formation.
Occasionally, he would reach out and brush aside the stone chips created by Bai Ye's dagger.
She didn't say anything, as if she was not surprised at all that Xie Buchen could see through her thoughts.
There was a slight smile on Xie Buchen's lips. There was a smell of damp earth on the ground, as well as a strange cold fishy smell unique to sea reefs.
"Paddle—"
Another line of light flowed where the dagger passed, and then disappeared deeply into the ground.
"You didn't go with them, but just watched me from the side. Are you afraid that I would do something in the teleportation array?"
"Junior Brother Xie is extremely capable. He can even instruct others to set up a cruel trap like the Earth Binding Formation." With a slight smile, Jianchou walked to his side. "It's rare to see Junior Brother Xie set up a formation with my own eyes. He's not a fake puppet. How can Jianchou come to watch?"
"… "
Xie Buchen stopped the dagger in his hand, and finally slowly raised his head and looked at Jianchou who was standing in front of him.
She had a smile on her face, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Xie Buchen was not present during Zuo Sanqian's small meeting, so he was unable to witness what happened to Emperor Jiang Feng Lei Yi with his own eyes.
How could such a small meeting cause such a sensation
Xie Buchen once stayed at the West Sea for a while to recuperate. He had heard some things about Jianchou from other people. In recent years, the only news about Dijiang Bone Jade was when he killed Hong Xiaojie.
After connecting the past and the present, he knew who was the person who had confronted Gu Qingmei in the Killing Red World, broke the Earth Binding Formation, seriously injured Gu Qingmei, and took away the Dijiang Bone Jade.
"Paddle—"
After a long silence, Xie Buchen finally lowered his head again and slashed a dagger across the formation.
The light appeared suddenly and then disappeared in an instant.
"At that time, I didn't know you were also in the small world."
Jianchou tilted his head to look at him, his brows lowered, his movements unhurried, and even though he was leaning towards the ground, every move he made was naturally noble.
It's quite interesting to live like him.
Jianchou couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Fortunately you don't know."
The seemingly plain words conceal unspeakable and earth-shaking events.
Xie Buchen looked at the last broken place on the ground and slashed it with a dagger. The formation on the tip of the dagger began to rotate, condensing the surrounding spiritual energy into a line, and repairing the broken formation along the trajectory of the dagger.
A golden light flashed, and the entire formation made a buzzing sound.
He put away the dagger and stood up to look at her.
These familiar eyes and brows still revealed a hint of gentleness, but hidden beneath the gentleness was strength, toughness, and even tyranny.
A strong heart.
This was a kind of sadness that he had never known before.
Luckily he didn't know...
With a faint smile, Xie Buchen said, "You are right."
Jianchou then sneered.
If he knew that it was her who was in the hidden world at that time, even if he couldn't confirm her identity, he would rather kill the wrong person than let her go.
How can a mere earthbind formation be enough
He would use the Last Heaven's Thirty-Six Extreme Killing Formation to ensure that she died completely in there.
"It's a pity that it's too late to know now." Jianchou added for him.
Hidden beneath her smile was a strong sense of sarcasm.
Xie Buchen's eyes were full of warmth and indifference: "It's not too late yet."
