"Let's go."
Jianchou didn't care whether others heard anything unusual and floated into the cave. However, when he entered the cave, his feet obviously did not touch the ground and he remained in a suspended state.
Her action was quite obvious, and the people behind her could see it at a glance, but they inevitably didn't quite understand it.
As if he had guessed their doubts, Jianchou smiled and said, "Now Fellow Daoist Xie is also a member of the Demonic Path. I'm afraid those people in the Demonic Path don't know that he has infiltrated them yet, so I'm afraid they will leave a lot of traps for us along the way. Fellow Daoists, we should be careful together."
She relaxed before and judged that there would be no traps ahead because she found out that Xie Buchen and the demon sect members were in a hunting relationship, and neither of them would have time to set traps.
But now, Xie Buchen is a member of the Shanyin Sect of the Demon Sect. According to the original practice of the Shanyin Sect, it is to set obstacles for those who come later. Xie Buchen is also an expert in formations.
No matter how you look at it, their road ahead won't be easy.
Jianchou, without any psychological burden, easily slandered Xie Buchen in just a few words, which was reasonable and logical.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
When they fell into the cave, everyone tacitly let their feet float three inches off the ground.
When viewed from the outside, the cave was very dark.
But once you enter, you will find that it is actually bright and unusually spacious, as if a piece of it was hollowed out in the belly of the mountain, and rough carvings are scattered on the rough ground.
There are eight long corridors extending from the belly of the mountain and going deeper and deeper into the darkness.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, but you are the uninvited and unwelcome guests."
An almost seductive voice suddenly came from above.
Anyone
Jianchou frowned, and while tightening his grip on the ghost axe, he looked up.
It turns out he is not a human.
On the high dome of the mountain, there was a scarlet butterfly with delicate silver patterns on its wings. Light was flowing, and a mysterious aura was emanating from it.
As she spoke, the butterfly wings trembled slightly and actually wrapped around her body, instantly turning into a gorgeous red dress. The mysterious silver patterns twisted slightly and turned into silver butterfly patterns on the red dress.
The red butterfly turns into a human.
When Jianchou and others looked up, it was still a big red butterfly, but in the blink of an eye it had turned into a gorgeous beauty who landed on the ground. Her innocent eyes and eyebrows were dotted with brightly colored makeup, and she had a red lips, a delicate nose, and enchanting pupils and eyebrows.
Even though Jianchou was a female cultivator, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart the moment he saw her.
Zuo Liu and Xiao Jin, who were standing behind him, opened their mouths and eyes wide, staring at the beautiful Red Butterfly, looking completely dumbfounded.
The young man Ruhua frowned unhappily, and his eyes naturally fell on the exquisite dress of the beautiful lady Hongdie.
Xiahou She and Lu Xiangleng quietly stood beside Jianchou, looking like they were ready to take action at any time.
Seeing everyone so anxious, the Red Butterfly Beauty chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid. Li Jun has given his orders. I haven't eaten humans for many years."
"You, you, you, you want to eat people?!"
Xiao Jin was so scared that he quickly hid behind Zuo Liu, and Zuo Liu hid behind Jianchou without hesitation. For a moment, they were just like the chicks hiding behind the hen when the eagle was trying to catch them.
The handsome boy almost burst out laughing at the almost comical scene.
The "old hen" saw that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt extremely speechless inside. He just wanted to throw these two capable but brave but timid guys away.
However, with a "big enemy" in front of them, it was not good to start an internal conflict. Jianchou forced himself to endure it, with a somewhat stiff smile on his face, and bowed to the enchanting mysterious woman: "We want to enter the hidden world to explore the secrets of the "Nine-bend River Map". We have no ill will towards the hidden world or you. I wonder if you could trouble the fairy to let us pass through here?"
"Oh, you uninvited guests from outside, your methods are more powerful than each other, but your little mouths are sweeter than each other. You call me a demon fairy, how can I not let you pass?"
As she said this, she actually threw a seductive glance at Jianchou.
That style is so enchanting!
Jianchou looked at her silently, with no extra expression on his face.
The Red Butterfly Beauty looked at her twice and felt bored. She muttered "unromantic" and snorted, "Of course I can borrow your passage, but Lord Carp said that you are uninvited guests. The entire hidden world is the work of the Master, and there are ways to treat uninvited guests. Lord Carp is kind and does not want to hurt anyone, but if you die under the way we treat guests in the hidden world, you can't blame us."
Is this “Carp Master” again
As early as when I was outside the hidden world gate, I heard the gatekeeper pig shouting.
Jianchou thought carefully about what they had encountered and seen in the hidden world. There wasn't much else, just all kinds of monsters. It seemed that they could see them in every important place. This didn't seem like they had come to a paradise of powerful cultivators, but rather like they had entered a cave of monsters.
Suddenly, a strange guess appeared in Jianchou's mind.
She glanced at Hongdie and said calmly, "Life and death are determined by fate. We would be grateful to you for letting us pass through."
"Okay, as long as you have this awareness."
The Red Butterfly Fairy swayed her slender waist like a willow twig slightly, the smile on her face deepened, and she actually made way.
"This road is called Yi Zhuan Zhuan, and it passes through the mountain. After passing this mountain, it is the courtyard where the master usually welcomes guests. Each of these eight roads can only accommodate one person, and only one person can appear at the same time. The four uninvited guests who just passed by were on these roads."
As she spoke, Fairy Red Butterfly pointed towards four of the paths.
Jianchou and others looked along the path and found that there were indeed four corridors among the eight paths that were different. There was a red light on the top and a layer of membrane on the outside, which was very similar to what they saw on the path of sentient and merciless.
Hongdie said, "They haven't gotten out yet. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the six of them for a while."
Wait a while
Jianchou narrowed his eyes slightly and remembered the black and white chess pieces that had been left on the cliff.
He stared at the four corridors that had already been occupied and asked, "Four people have already passed through them, and they haven't left yet?"
"Four indeed... huh?"
Hongdie answered with a smile, but as she was speaking, she suddenly felt something and looked up.
Outside the corridor on the far right, the red light on the top suddenly shattered with a "pop" sound, and the membrane standing in front of the corridor suddenly disappeared.
Hongdie was startled for a moment, then she covered her lips and giggled, "Oh, I'm so sorry, there are only three left now."
Needless to say, another one died.
Everyone was silent, just looking at each other, having already guessed the difficulties and dangers of this so-called "wandering" journey.
Each person has his own path, which eliminates the possibility of being plotted against by fellow travelers. This unlucky guy could only have died because of something that happened on the path.
Jianchou hoped in his heart that this person was Xie Buchen, but he knew that if Xie Buchen died so easily, he would not be Xie Buchen anymore.
Even though his injuries were not fully healed, he was able to kill a person from the Shanyin Sect and take the opportunity to infiltrate the other side. He must have considerable strength.
Looking up, I saw that the three red lights in the mountain tunnel were still there, proving that these people were still moving forward...
A bunch of thoughts flashed through his mind. Jianchou ignored Hongdie's expression and turned around to say to everyone, "The Central Region and the Demonic Path are irreconcilable. Whether we want to pursue the secrets of the hidden world or not fall behind and not be restricted everywhere, we have to get ahead of these people. Since Fellow Daoist Xie has already infiltrated the other side, if we can catch up with them before they hesitate and pass through quickly, we may be able to cooperate with Fellow Daoist Xie from behind and fight a beautiful siege."
Everyone was stunned.
Jianchou did not explain much, and continued: "So now I will choose a path to enter and try my best to catch up with the people from the Demonic Dao. Fellow Daoists, please stay. It is best not to act separately so as to deal with various situations in this hidden world. It is better to wait until someone passes the level, and then we can set out together."
Lu Xiangleng frowned slightly: "Daoyou Jianchou went alone, but Shanyin Sect..."
"Fellow Daoist Xie is a hidden man lurking in the Shanyin Sect. We are two against two. Fellow Daoist Xiang Leng, please rest assured."
Jianchou spoke calmly, not feeling guilty at all. He just gave her a reassuring smile, then walked around Hongdie and headed towards the corridors.
Hongdie immediately looked at Jianchou with strange eyes.
After staying in the hidden world for too long, he had no idea that the world outside was so exciting. The cultivation level of this female cultivator was not the highest, but there was an indescribable wit in her words.
It made no difference to her who went in first.
Anyway…
Li Jun is fed up with everything related to "Nine-bend River Map".
Otherwise, how could these people enter
With a sneer in her heart, the smile on Hongdie's face became more charming. She stared at Jianchou's back without saying a word.
Jianchou's footsteps seemed to be neither fast nor slow, but they were actually against the wind. In just two breaths, he had chosen the rightmost corridor where the red light had just shattered. Without even looking back, he went straight in.
“Buzz.”
Outside the corridor, the cluster of red light that had just been shattered actually lit up again.
An invisible ripple scattered from the red light and enveloped the entire corridor again.
Jianchou's figure flashed and disappeared into the corridor.
On the spot, Mr. Ruhua sighed sadly: "How can this be a joint attack from inside and outside to kill Shanyin Sect? It's obvious that they are looking for an opportunity to kill that Taoist friend Xie. Tell me, between our Taoist friend Jianchou and this rare genius Kunwu, is there a hatred for killing his wife or a hatred for stealing his husband?"
***
In the corridor on the far right.
Jianchou naturally did not hear Ruhua Gongzi's 100% melancholy sigh. She was not worried about the safety of the group of people behind her at all, even if there might be a "hidden chess piece" in the background.
It was a very dangerous thing for the monks of Shanyin Sect to blend in with them, which required extraordinary courage.
If Jianchou wanted to blend in with other people, it was only to save effort in certain things. For example, he could wait for others to find something and then snatch it away, which was obviously much simpler than fighting alone.
Before there are clear benefits, I'm afraid this hidden chess piece will not be in a hurry to break up with them.
At the same time, Ruhua Gongzi and others are all smart people. They will not easily separate and act alone, so the possibility of being calculated by others is reduced to a minimum.
"Pah, pah."
Jianchou's footsteps were steady.
The entire corridor is narrow, with a diameter of about ten feet, which is quite wide, but people walking inside will inevitably feel oppressed. In addition, the passage is extremely dark and can only be illuminated by the red light on the Jianchou Ghost Axe, which adds a kind of almost bloody gloom.
She was careful and bold, her five senses heightened to the extreme, and she rode the wind at an extremely fast speed, with the breeze delivering the information she needed.
Whoosh.
The whole person passed through the corridor swiftly like a gust of wind. Even if there were occasional sharp stones sticking out diagonally, Jianchou would avoid them smoothly as if he had anticipated it.
The corridor bends to the right, and Jianchou naturally follows the curve of the corridor and continues to go deeper inside.
Jianchou walked through the corridor on the far right, which was the one that someone had entered before. If the judgment made by Xiaojin Ruhua and others was correct, he was most likely a cultivator from the Shanyin Sect.
Why follow a path that others have already taken
There is a reason for being sad.
The dead person must not be Xie Buchen, which means that the possibility of Xie Buchen setting a trap for her here is zero. If she is lucky, she will find the body of the previous intruder here, and maybe she can get some useful information.
Jianchou's mind was as clear as a mirror. He encountered almost no obstacles in the first half and flew straight over.
But when the entire corridor turned back to the left, the situation became different.
"brush!"
When she passed the point where the corridor turned right and then left, a dazzling light suddenly lit up from the wall of the corridor, illuminating the entire corridor.
Jianchou, who was still moving forward rapidly, stopped almost immediately.
His control over the wind has almost reached the level of perfection, so much so that he can stop it with just a thought without showing any embarrassment.
She frowned and looked ahead.
The light came from a three-foot stone sword, held in the hands of a seven-foot-tall humanoid statue.
On the right side of the cave wall, five zhang away from Jianchou, there is a two-zhang-high hole. Inside stands a seven-foot-high human statue, and its base is connected to the entire cave wall and is carved into the cave wall.
The stone statue was wearing a simple Taoist robe, with a Qiankun bag hanging around his waist. He was holding a long sword in his hand. He had an ordinary and unremarkable face, looking like a young man.
"It's the same method..."
Jianchou still remembered the painted wall he had seen outside before.
Every line on the stone statue in front of me has the same charm as the ones on the previous painting on the wall. They should have been drawn by the same person - Master Buyu.
There was no danger ahead, but this thing suddenly appeared. This must be the danger of this journey.
We must walk on this road, but what is the mystery of this stone statue
Jianchou's eyes flickered slightly, and a misty green light radiated from his body, covering his entire body, providing a simple protective shield, and then he took a tentative step forward -
“Buzz!”
At the moment Jianchou took this step, a sound suddenly came from the entire area illuminated by the sword light from the stone sword.
Then, a white light shone brightly, and a figure actually walked out of the stone statue. He was wearing the same Taoist robe as the statue. Although his features were ordinary, he looked a bit weird. The stone sword in his hand turned into a simple wooden sword.
He stood five feet away from Jianchou, raised his eyes, looked at Jianchou, and said with a bit of immaturity in his voice: "The road of cultivation is long, and I am hesitant... If you want to pass my way, you have to fight with my inner demon... Do you dare to fight?"
Inner demon
Do you dare to fight
At that moment, a light bulb went off in Jianchou's mind, and he cursed in his heart: Master Bu Yu is so unkind!
I finally know how the three words "意踯躅" came about!
When a cultivator is hesitating, he is often troubled by various obsessions and inner demons, which hinder his practice. A cultivator with too many inner demons cannot cut off his own cause and effect, and cannot achieve enlightenment and become an immortal because of the shackles of human emotions and desires.
It can be said that the intangible things such as inner demons and obsessions are taboos for cultivators in their practice!
The name of this road is "Yi Zhuan Zhu", which represents the various uncertainties, temptations and troubles that Master Buyu faced during his practice!
Jianchou's expression had become solemn.
After a quick investigation, she found that the cultivation level of the phantom in front of her was not very high, and it seemed that it was just at the foundation-building level.
Without saying much, Jianchou held the ghost axe and smashed it directly at the distance of five meters.
"boom!"
The essence of spiritual power exploded instantly.
The young monk also stood up with a sword in his hand, as if wanting to resist Jianchou.
However, at the moment when the ghost axe shadow arrived, his whole body could not withstand the violent pressure of the attack and collapsed instantly.
rustle…
There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing at the end of the corridor, and a slight dust flew up from the ground.
The shadow disappeared completely.
The white light that had just illuminated the entire corridor suddenly went out.
The stone statue still stood quietly in the same place, and the figure that had just appeared seemed to have never appeared at all. Even the stone sword held in the statue's hand became the same as the surrounding rocks.
The attack was successful and the trouble was solved. However, Jianchou's brows not only did not relax, but became even more furrowed.
She walked up slowly step by step, stood in front of the statue, and looked at it carefully.
After looking around, his eyes suddenly fixed on the left side of the stone statue, which had a line of small words: "One hundred and thirty-six days of foundation building, the inner demon appears."
It came true.
Bad thoughts always come true.
Jianchou looked at the line of small words, smiled bitterly, and looked towards the road ahead. He suddenly felt that there were countless demons in the heart of the silent master hidden in that shadow.
Generally, the inner demon of a cultivator is not particularly strong, and it is difficult for it to surpass the cultivator himself. Most of the time, it is just a thought, a trouble, and will not become reality.
The reason why Jianchou could easily chop off his inner demon with a single axe was, firstly, because Jianchou had already reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation, and secondly, because the inner demon of Master Buyu must be weaker than his own.
It’s just the inner demon during the one hundred and thirty-six days of foundation building.
only…
Who knows the way forward
Master Buyu is a powerful monk who has already deciphered the secret of the "Nine-Bend River Map" and ascended to heaven.
When he thought of this, Jianchou felt his scalp tingling.
The treatment of "uninvited guests" in the hidden world of Qingfeng'an is really terrible.
But Xie Buchen is still in this "hesitation". Even if there are thousands of difficulties ahead, how can she retreat
At that moment, Jianchou calmed down, put on all his energy, and continued walking forward.
Sure enough, after walking only fifty feet away, a new stone statue appeared five feet ahead.
This time, the face of the stone statue seemed to be more mature, and the stone sword in its hand turned into a big sword as wide as a palm, and its aura became more powerful and dignified.
A figure condensed out from the stone sword again and blocked Jianchou's way.
"The path of cultivation is long and I am hesitant... If you want to pass my way, you must fight with my inner demon... Do you dare to fight?"
"You don't even change a word of the lyrics?"
Trying to find joy in adversity, Jianchou made a joke, but without saying a word, he rushed forward with an axe in hand!
"boom!"
Still an axe chopped into the air!
But this time, the speed of the inner demon's sword was several times faster. Almost at the moment when Jianchou drew his axe, he raised his sword and chopped it. A bright sword light immediately exploded in the corridor and collided with Jianchou's axe shadow!
A huge air wave immediately expanded, raising a cloud of dust throughout the entire corridor.
The figure disappeared.
Jianchou was still standing there. This time she did not stop, but just glanced at the stone statue when passing by: After thirty-six days of the golden elixir, the inner demon reappeared.
The inner demon of Master Buyu, who is in the Jindan stage, is barely comparable to the cultivation level of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.
Just judging from the combat power of the Void Inner Demon, it is already terrifying enough.
Jianchou had roughly guessed Yi's hesitation, so he walked forward with ease and headed for the next statue.
The third, fourth...
When passing the first two towers, Jianchou could easily use the Air Slash to defeat her inner demon, but the situation at the third tower was already extremely dangerous, forcing her to throw out an extra Black Wind Blade Lotus before she could resolve the problem.
When it came to the fourth statue, Jianchou had learned his lesson and had already prepared the blade lotus. He threw out two of them and passed the fourth statue without any danger: "Thirteen days after leaving the body, the inner demon appeared..."
It took more than 100 days for the inner demon to appear after building the foundation, but now it has appeared 13 days after leaving the body...
Generally speaking, cultivators will fail in breaking through a realm if they have inner demons.
Therefore, once one breaks through the realm, the inner demon has been "killed".
However, the inner demons that Jianchou saw along the way all had the same face, and even their ages were constantly increasing, and their auras were constantly rising, as if the inner demons had never died, and continued to grow stronger as Master Buyu's cultivation level increased.
My heart suddenly trembled for a moment.
Jianchou's gaze moved away from the small characters and fell on the stone statue again. The eyes carved out of the rock were a little lifeless, but revealed a kind of weirdness.
There was a sudden chill under my feet...
The posture and movements of this stone statue are exactly the same as those of the Silent Monk on the painted wall!
The inner demon of Master Buyu is himself!
As long as the person is alive, the demon in his heart will never die!
How did such a silent master achieve enlightenment and become an immortal
Jianchou couldn't help feeling cold, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling curious.
He forced himself to look away and looked at the darkness ahead again. Then, the bloody smell finally drifted over.
She smelled it.
Move your feet and move forward.
When Jianchou walked about thirty feet away, the blood-red light of the ghost axe illuminated a corpse lying on the ground not far ahead. There was a sword hole on the throat, and the gurgling blood had stopped and was somewhat dried up.
He was a man in his twenties, wearing clothes similar to the ones that the dead monk had worn on the white jade path, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist.
When Jianchou walked over, he knew that this was the demon cultivator who had chosen this path before.
When they were still in the belly of the mountain, she and everyone else saw with their own eyes that red light outside go out.
After taking a rough look at the cause of this man's death, Jianchou was not afraid at all.
She searched the man's body and first saw the jade pendant on his waist. She picked it up and saw that there was indeed a "Yin" character engraved on the front. However, the character was crude and looked like it was from ancient times. It was most likely the "Shanyin Sect" in the southeast wilderness that everyone had mentioned before.
Secondly, she found a Qiankun bag in the man's sleeve.
This demonic Taoist monk is dead, and the Qiankun bag has naturally become an ownerless object, with only the remaining spiritual imprint left on it.
Jianchou stretched out her hand and squeezed it hard, releasing her spiritual consciousness, which immediately dispersed the mark on the Qiankun bag and left her own mark. In this way, the Qiankun bag became hers.
When she opened the Qiankun bag, she used her spiritual consciousness to see that there were some simple magical instruments, talismans of different functions, and hundreds of spirit stones inside. For an average Jindan stage cultivator, this was a "big fortune".
Of course, there are also many basic cultivation methods of the Shanyin Sect and several Taoist seals.
In addition, there was actually a jade slip.
When Jianchou picked it up and put it between his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly lit up with a strange light.
"I am a disciple of the elder Chen Fang of the Shanyin Sect's White Bone Branch. I am Zhou Yin and I am the eighteenth disciple."
This is actually an identity jade slip!
It records the various important experiences of this cultivator named "Zhou Yin" since he entered Shanyin Sect, including entering the outer sect, taking certain tests, becoming an inner sect disciple, and becoming a disciple of Elder Chen Fang...
One by one, extremely clear.
"No wonder..."
Since she was able to discover the existence of this jade slip, Xie Buchen would never let it go.
The fact that he was able to successfully infiltrate the monks of Shanyin Sect was probably due to this jade slip.
Jianchou looked at the jade slip in his palm and finally laughed.
Xie Buchen left black and white chess pieces on the mountain wall as a message for her to read. It could be that he was a disciple of Kunwu and thought she would cooperate with him to eliminate the demon cultivators. It could also be that...
Just to trick her.
After all, the information Xie Buchen gave also said that there was something wrong among Jianchou's group of people.
If she quarrels with her companions because of this, won't Xie Buchen be able to reap the benefits
He had doubts in his heart, so Jianchou only said that Xie Buchen had mixed in with the demon sect, but did not mention a word about the secret agent on his side: no one would die anyway.
Jianchou was not sure what Xie Buchen's real intention was, nor could he be sure that Xie Buchen had infiltrated the Demon Sect, but...
Now with the jade slip in her hand, she had a brand new plan.
With a flick of his five fingers, Jianchou casually put the jade slip back into his Qiankun bag, and then he stripped the blood-stained clothes of the unlucky Zhou Yin from his body, put them on himself, and also hung the jade pendant and other items on his body on himself.
Then, she carefully looked at the man's face, and took out a deep red pill from her Qiankun bag and swallowed it.
In just a blink of an eye, Jianchou's gentle and indifferent face suddenly changed. His eyebrows became thicker and harder, his nose bridge became higher, and his whole outline immediately became tougher, and even his body immediately became taller.
A brand new "Zhou Seal" appeared perfectly in the corridor.
The "boy" was in his twenties, with pale skin and a gloomy and murderous look between his brows. He wore a jade pendant from the Shanyin Sect around his waist, and a scarlet "Western Mountain Demon Sword" taken out of his Qiankun bag, and carried a huge ghost axe on his shoulder.
In this darkness, "he" revealed a sinister and calculating smile.
"Hehe, even if I meet you, I don't think you would recognize me..."
Give others what you would like them to give you…
When the voice came out, it was already so hoarse that it was hard to recognize.
