He opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
He held up the two-foot-long curved knife and looked at Jianchou. After a long while, he burst into laughter: "Good, good! You guys are quite interesting, quite interesting! If you want to eat, I'll serve it to you!"
As he said this, he actually called for a big pot in front of Jianchou, cleaned the corpse, and threw it in to cook.
When the meat was cooked, Master Bu Yu swung his knife and quickly cut several plates of white meat and placed them on the table for Jianchou.
Jianchou was already sitting upright, waiting to eat.
Seeing Master Buyu bringing out the meat, she took the wine pot on the eucalyptus tree, then took a wine jar, poured out the fine liquor inside, took a sip of the wine first, and then picked up a piece of meat.
When the wine enters the mouth, it is surprisingly sweet and cool; on the fleshy tongue, it is surprisingly soft and elastic.
"Master, you have amazing craftsmanship!"
At that moment, Jianchou really couldn't help but praised him with a strange look on his face.
"hey-hey… "
Master Buyu laughed, then cut again with the knife, pulling off a piece of white meat.
A flash of light appeared on the tip of the two-foot knife, and it hit the white meat, breaking all the meridians on it. So it was elastic when eaten but not difficult to chew.
While Jianchou was eating, his eyes fell on the knife in Master Buyu's hand, but his mind drifted far away.
The experiences that Master Bu Yu had in his life are truly astonishing.
At the turn of ancient times and modern times, although there were not many cultivators in the out-of-body stage, there were definitely quite a few. However, compared with the various powerful cultivators in the Nineteen Continents, they were still not enough.
But Master Buyu was able to be spotted by the Green Leaf Patriarch at this time...
For some reason, Jianchou recalled the "Green Leaf Ancestor" whom he had learned about in the Shahong World. He always felt that it was not a coincidence that the Green Leaf Ancestor chose Master Buyu.
As for the reason...
His gaze slowly shifted from the two-foot knife to the hot pot, and Jianchou sighed in his heart.
After all, it was just the grievances between powerful monks, and she was just thinking about it.
He shook his head, throwing away the complicated thoughts in his mind, and concentrated on eating meat.
Ten plates of white-sliced meat to thank Buchen. It sounds like a lot, but it doesn’t seem enough when I eat it.
Each plate served contained a thin layer of meat, and before she was full, the tenth plate was already empty.
Master Buyu had already stopped what he was doing and was standing in front of the big pot with a knife in his hand.
Seeing Jianchou eating bite after bite, one chopstick after another, he was a little surprised: when he looked closely at the expression on Jianchou's face, he saw that she was really calm, and it was obvious that she didn't have any grudge at all because this was the meat of her "ex-husband".
Compared with hatred, this kind of love is "ruthless" in another sense.
Seeing that the ten plates of boiled meat were almost empty, Master Buyu made way for them and waved his hand casually: "If you don't want to hesitate, you can leave now."
"Thank you for the hospitality, Master."
Jianchou was satisfied with the meal and drink, and she drank the last drop of wine in the pot. She felt warm all over. Her spiritual power gathered into a stream, and then slowly gathered into a river, flowing through her body.
It seems that this pot of wine is good stuff.
She stood up, took Zhou Yin's Xishan Demon Sword in her left hand and the Ghost Axe in her right hand, then bowed to Master Buyu.
At this time, I looked up at Master Buyu and still felt that there was a layer of gloom on his face, which made me feel uneasy.
Jianchou naturally wouldn't think that Xie Buchen was the real Xie Buchen. What Master Buyu wanted to see was just the "intentions" of the people passing by at that moment. The Master Buyu who appeared now was naturally not the real Master Buyu, but just an illusion, a demon in his heart, a divine thought left behind...
She originally wanted to leave, but when she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped for some reason.
Master Bu Yu frowned.
Jianchou stopped and faced Master Buyu. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Master Buyu in a very respectful tone: "Master, I like this meat-carving knife..."
"… "
A meat knife
Master Buyu looked at Jianchou who stopped talking halfway and didn't continue, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
He stared at Jianchou's face, the two-foot knife in his hand trembled, and his face trembled with it, and he said with a fake smile: "The young people nowadays are so shameless!"
Roll the donkey
Jianchou almost couldn't help but reach out and touch his own skin to see if it was really that thick.
In fact, she just asked this question and had no intention of using the meat knife. Seeing Master Buyu's reaction, she was ready to give up.
Unexpectedly, just when Jianchou was about to bow again and leave, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.
"brush!"
A bright light!
Jianchou reacted extremely quickly. He raised his hand to block the wind almost the moment it started.
Unexpectedly, what came was not an attack, but a two-foot knife!
Jianchou was so surprised that he almost didn't react. He quickly changed gear to hook and then grasped the two-foot knife in his palm.
The blade is as smooth as a cold pond, the handle is embedded in the blade, and it is not polished much as a whole, and is even a bit rough. However, at first glance, it gives people a sense of simplicity and elegance, as if this knife was born to be like this.
Two ancient seal characters were engraved on the blade. The moment Jianchou held it, the two characters naturally came to his mind -
Cut the deer!
When Qin lost its power, the whole world began to chase it.
There is a knife in my heart, and its name is Cutting Deer!
Trapping deer in the wild, sharing the food among the princes...
This knife is called the Deer-Cutting Knife.
Absolutely extraordinary!
Jianchou stared at the knife for a long time without coming back to his senses.
It was not until the wind blew outside the cave that her wandering mind was awakened: This meat knife is so easy to use
Turning around, he saw that all the furnishings in the cave had disappeared completely. There was no big pot, no body of Xie Buchen that was only a skeleton left, no long eucalyptus cups and plates, and even Master Buyu had disappeared.
At the end of the entire corridor, only the stone statue on the stone wall still exists.
Jianchou walked over, looked up, and when he thought about it, although he didn't know why the other party gave him this knife, it was still a favor.
She bowed to the stone statue and said, "I am so sorry for the gift of the knife."
After paying her respects, Jianchou stood up and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the moment she looked up, her eyes swept across the gap between the stone statue and the rock behind it, and she suddenly found something a little different.
The entire stone statue looked similar to the one seen before, except that it was much older, but there was no significant change.
Even the Taoist robe he was wearing was no different.
The only difference is the hands.
Perhaps because the knife was given to Jianchou, the hand that was originally holding the knife on the stone statue has turned into rubble and fallen down.
Jianchou's heart suddenly trembled.
She stretched out the tip of the deer-cutting knife almost stiffly, and lightly flicked the broken palm of the stone statue, and a piece of broken rock fell off with a "pop" at Jianchou's feet.
Jianchou didn't even look down.
At the broken palm, after the rock fell off, a piece of white finger bone was finally exposed completely.
Jianchou finally saw clearly the line of small words carved on the rock wall.
"I have gone through so much hardship to raise the river map, and in the end, I have become a wedding dress for others."
"after all-"
“Not willing!”
"Master, do not speak, the tomb is right here."
The first half of the sentence is understandable. It simply talks about what he experienced after obtaining the "Nine-Curved River Map". But what does "making wedding clothes for others" mean
There is also the word "tomb". The residence of the dead is called a "tomb". Since the Master Bu Yu attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, how can there be a "tomb"
What is the identity of the corpse hidden in this stone statue
In just a moment, all kinds of mysteries emerged.
Jianchou was a little stunned for a moment.
***
Outside the eight channels.
Xie Buchen, or "Wei Xin", has already stood in front of the mountain to look out.
The entire front of the mountain was a deep green color, and it turned out to be a vast swamp with no end in sight.
On the lake, there is a huge courtyard that is mostly hidden by clouds and mist. It covers a very large area. All you can see are green tiles, green walls, and flying eaves, which make people feel a kind of worldly prosperity.
There is a long road in front of the mountain, extending from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and leading to the small square in front of the courtyard.
This terrifyingly large courtyard almost filled the entire lake, and also filled Xie Buchen's vision.
He looked carefully, trying to see something through the floating clouds, but when he looked closely, he felt a sense of mystery and felt dizzy and unable to look for long.
Frowning, Xie Buchen knew that the three people from Shanyin Sect would not come out for the time being, so he simply walked down the mountain path.
After going down the mountain, the path goes directly across half of the lake and arrives at the square.
Xie Buchen walked all the way, and only when he was approaching the square did he see the three words "Yunmeng Lake" on the road. He thought it must be the name of a large lake in this hidden world.
Shocked, Xie Buchen said nothing, but just looked up when he stepped onto the square.
A high wall stood at the end of the square, surrounding the entire courtyard behind it. It was thick and solid. Only facing the center of the square was there a totem about ten feet high.
The ground was spotlessly clean, without even a speck of dust.
Xie Buchen walked step by step from the square, and soon came to the high wall, looking at the totem.
In other words, it is not a totem, but just a symbol.
There was a large circle in the middle, which was intricate and had many crisscrossing lines, like a maze. After Xie Buchen looked over, it seemed as if it had sensed something, and some of the lines suddenly twisted and connected into a new pattern.
Xie Buchen was a little surprised.
But after the line changed once, it suddenly stopped.
A mess of chaotic lines formed a strange pattern in the center.
As Xie Buchen looked at it, he stretched out his palm, and a small mark appeared in his palm: this was the mark used to open the gate to the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple. It was left by Zhenren Hengxu when he left Kunwu.
It seems that the mark Hengxu gave him has other uses.
Perhaps, it is the key to this mystery.
Putting aside his doubts for the moment, he slowly clenched his palms again, guessing that this piece of mark might represent the staggeringly huge courtyard at the back.
There are several incomplete star points at each of the four corners of the maze map, like broken Taoist seals; right below it, where Xie Buchen can reach with just a stretch of his hand, there is a dark hexagonal groove with many densely distributed concave dots, like the bowl under the feet of a monk.
Formation
Not really.
Xie Buchen was quite knowledgeable in formations, and no matter how hard he looked, he could not find any traces.
He stared at the hexagonal groove for a long time without any clue. Just as he stretched out his hand to try something, he suddenly felt a spiritual power fluctuation behind him, and heard a loud shout: "Hahaha, I finally got out, I got out!"
Standing on the square, Xie Buchen turned around and looked up, and saw a figure running out from the third and fourth left of the eight passages on the mountainside. They were Shanyin Sect's guardian Yang Lie and ordinary disciple Feng Qi.
Feng Qi’s cultivation was only at the initial stage of Jindan, but Yang Lie was actually at the late stage of Jindan.
Xie Buchen was injured and has not fully recovered yet. If he were to fight Yang Lie head-on, he would probably be in great trouble, so he disguised himself and sneaked in at this moment.
Seeing his "companion" come out, Xie Buchen knew that it was time to get into character.
He turned his hand and formed his fingers into a knife, leaving a long bloody mark on his shoulder. The wound burst open immediately and he was covered in blood. However, with a surge of spiritual power, his flesh and blood began to recover automatically. In the blink of an eye, there was only blood and no visible injury.
This was exactly the effect Xie Buchen wanted. He walked from under the high wall and looked at the two people above from afar.
Yang Lie had a gloomy face and blood on his body.
But he came out alive, with some excitement still on his face.
He flew down the mountain path with the shifty Feng Qi, and immediately saw the figure below: "Wei Xin?!"
Xie Buchen came to Yang Lie, who was wearing a black suit, and bowed: "Greetings to the guardian."
Among the three sects of wild demons in the southeast, Shanyin Sect ranks first.
Wei Xin is a very outstanding young man in Shanyin Sect. He usually relies on his high talent and is very arrogant to his fellow disciples.
Although the demon sect cultivators do whatever they want and being arrogant is nothing big, but in the sect, Wei Xin has repeatedly argued with Yang Lie, and many times made Yang Lie, the protector, lose face.
This time, Yang Lie came to the isolated island on earth from the southeast wilderness to explore the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple. He had not expected that the young master would bring Wei Xin with him. He had never expected that at this moment, Wei Xin, a mere early Jindan stage, would be waiting for him here.
Two knife-like eyebrows flew towards his temples, and his hooked nose added a bit of coldness to Yang Lie's already gloomy expression.
He swept his cold eyes over "Wei Xin" and saw that his originally intact clothes were now a little torn, with a mess of blood on his body. He no longer looked as glamorous as he used to be in the sect.
Maybe it was because he looked so embarrassed, but Yang Lie actually felt that Wei Xin seemed to be depressed at this moment.
"You don't look well."
Yang Lie paused, walked past Wei Xin, and came to the square, looking at the high wall and the totem on it.
Xie Buchen kept a blank expression on his face, glanced at Feng Qi, who was wearing gray clothes and had a sarcastic look on his face, and said stiffly: "It's nothing wrong, it's just that I used a little force when I came out."
snort.
Aren't you just trying to save face
Yang Lie had already found an excuse for Wei Xin's current situation, and spoke in a magnanimous manner: "Junior Brother Wei is a top disciple of Elder Liu, so it's better to be careful. There's no need to rush in and take credit. After all, we are all accompanying Young Master to do things, so no matter how great the credit is, it belongs to Young Master."
"… yes."
Xie Buchen did not refute, but just answered.
He had no expression on his face, and his features weren't very eye-catching, but there was a fierce look in his eyes, so it wasn't difficult for him to disguise himself.
As for the word "yes" he said, when it fell into Yang Lie's ears, it naturally became a reluctant and even disdainful word.
A sentence may have a thousand meanings when heard by a thousand people.
Yang Lie really didn't doubt it at all.
How could he know that the person who was talking to him now was no longer the "Wei Xin" from before.
After staring at the mark for a long time, Yang Lie's eyes quickly moved to the marks on the four corners that seemed to be incomplete Taoist marks. He still couldn't figure it out. Just when he was about to ask the other two if they had figured it out, he turned his head and asked, "By the way, where is Zhou Yin? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Even Feng Qi, who has a low level of cultivation, has come out. How come Zhou Yin is usually stronger than Feng Qi, but now there is no one
Could it be…
Is he dead
Yang Lie's brows immediately furrowed, and he looked at the eight passages again. At this moment, he saw a familiar figure walking out of the first passage on the right. Judging from his attire and figure, as well as the Xishan Demon Sword slung around his waist, who else could it be but the taciturn Zhou Yin
only…
Zhou Yin at this time was a little different.
The thick black robe was soaked with blood, making it dark in color, and there was not a trace of blood on his pale face.
At this moment, in addition to the Xishan Demon Sword on his waist, "Zhou Yin" actually held a peculiar curved knife in his hand, two feet long, which looked familiar at first glance...
Perhaps he saw them from afar, "Zhou Yin" went straight down the mountain path, riding the Xishan Demon Sword.
When "Zhou Yin" came in front of them, the three of them could see the knife clearly. There were two ancient and clumsy characters engraved on the blade, which were difficult to recognize.
At that moment, Yang Lie and the other three all looked pale: Isn't this the knife that Master Buyu's inner demon used to cut meat? ! How, how could it be in his hand!
Moreover, neither Yang Lie nor Feng Qi remembered that Zhou Yin had such a knife.
The only explanation is...
"Your knife..."
Finally, he couldn't help it. Feng Qi, with a sly look in his eyes, couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point at the "Zhou Seal", not quite daring to believe it.
According to the jade slip, Zhou Yin is a taciturn person, not as talented as Wei Xin, and is also very low-key in Shanyin Sect...
The only thing is that his methods are as cruel as Wei Xin's.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her two-foot-long sword, Jianchou followed the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and said, "The old Taoist gave it to me when I passed the last stone statue."
Given
Given by the Taoist priest
Feng Qi's eyes almost popped out: "He uses this knife to cut meat, doesn't he? How can he give it to others?! You..."
Yang Lie did not speak for a while. He looked at Jianchou with a fake smile and said, "I heard that Brother Zhou once ate the brain of a 16-28-year-old virgin. It seems that the rumor is true. Master Buyu's inner demon is very evil. He probably thinks that Brother Zhou is a fellow traveler. I think you are destined to be together."
"But this luck is really too good..."
Feng Qi seemed to think that what Yang Lie said made sense, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but envy what Zhou Yin had gained.
His eyes were fixed on the two-foot knife, as if it were about to become material.
Jianchou's eyes quickly swept over everyone:
A man with a hooked nose and a gloomy face, who seemed to be very advanced in cultivation, was probably the guardian Yang Lie;
A sly-looking Feng Qi, who is only at the early stage of Jindan cultivation, should be the one who is most capable of changing his attitude according to the situation;
The other one was covered in blood and looked disheveled. He looked ordinary, but there seemed to be a hint of arrogance in his eyes. It seemed that he had just suffered a loss and looked gloomy. He must be Wei Xin, who relied on his high talent to act tyrannically.
With just one glance, she already had an idea in her mind, but she still couldn't tell which one was Xie Buchen, let alone whether Xie Buchen was inside.
Maybe, there is no Xie Buchen here.
After all, he is a man full of wisdom and it is difficult to judge which of the two pieces of information he gave is true and which is false, or both are true or both are false.
Seeing that no one recognized him, Jianchou felt a lot of hostility and did not say anything.
Xie Buchen's gaze passed over her and lingered on her knife for a long time.
It turns out that Master Buyu's meat-carving knife is actually useful...
This Zhou Yin, who has been very low-key before, could it be that he is a person who is pretending to be a pig but is actually a tiger
His eyes were slightly strange, but he quickly suppressed them. Xie Buchen turned around and said, "I'm afraid those cultivators in the Central Region are not far behind us. Instead of looking at the swords here, we might as well think about how to leave. Guardian Yang, only the young master knows a little about the secrets of this hidden world. We..."
"Young Master has his own plans!"
Before "Wei Xin" could finish his words, Yang Lie interrupted him and looked at him with a warning look.
"Wei Xin" snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Yang Lie then said, "I know you all don't understand Shao Zong's risky move, but how many of you can have the ability of Shao Zong? We are not allowed to refute the decision made by Shao Zong!"
"Yes, yes, what Protector Yang said is right."
Feng Qi immediately nodded his head in a servile manner: "Who is our young master? There is no doubt about it! If those little bastards in the Central Region did not have information about the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple, why would our young master need to come out in person?"
Jianchou listened and sighed in his heart: It seems that one of the pieces of information given by Xie Buchen can be confirmed to be true.
There was indeed a "hidden chess piece" among their group of people.
She wasn't clear about it before, but after taking on Zhou Yin's identity, she had some understanding of the situation of the Shanyin Sect.
As one of the three demon sects, the Shanyin Sect has always been a domineering presence in the Southeastern Wilderness. It has a wide sphere of influence and has always intended to expand its influence to other places. Moreover, because of the battle in the Southeastern Wilderness that year, it forged a blood feud with the Central Region, and has always intended to counterattack and retrieve the "Nine-Curved River Map".
This trip to the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple is for this purpose.
The "Young Sect Master" that Yang Lie mentioned is Song Lin, the Young Sect Master of Shanyin Sect. He has extremely high cultivation level, great talent, and cruel methods. Even in the wild demon world in the southeast, few can match him.
Such a person can be regarded as the best in the demon world in recent years.
It's a pity that a freak was born in the "Hero's Tomb" where Yuan Bei was at the last place among the three demons. His name was Yong Zhou. He became famous in just ten years, but he was ranked first in the third level of the monument and was the strongest among the Jindan stage cultivators.
Although Song Lin was extremely talented and had the support of Shanyin Sect, he still lost to Yong Zhou.
These two men were evenly matched and had fought overtly and covertly countless times over the past ten years. At that time, the cultivators in the Demon Sect called them the "Two Little Heavenly Demons" of the Southeast Wilderness. They were sure to inherit the mantle of the "Three Old Demons" and carry forward the bloody style of the Demon Sect.
Half a year later, the famous dispute over "Tongguan Post Station Situ" came to light.
Song Lin did not want to lose in this battle, and he stole the confidential information of the Hero's Tomb from somewhere and learned about the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple, so he personally brought people to investigate.
Now it is said that the young sect leader Song Lin is not here, but among the people from the Central Region, Jianchou has already roughly guessed his identity.
She looked back and wandered through the eight passages, but no one came out for the time being.
In front, Yang Lie had already stood under the diagram on the high wall and began to study it.
Jianchou's eyes swept over again.
Feng Qi was too humble. He was born in the Marquisate of Xie Buchen. Even if he was begging on the street, he would never be so humble.
Yang Lie's cultivation was too high. It might be possible for a person to pretend to have a low cultivation level, but if he pretended to have a high cultivation level, he would be exposed unless he had some special means. If Xie Buchen had the ability to kill Yang Lie at that time, he would not have needed to pretend.
In the end, only Wei Xin was left.
If there is anyone who could be Xie Buchen, then this is the only choice.
This man was in a disheveled state, with an arrogant look on his face. At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the picture with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was also thinking.
Jianchou didn't find any flaws for a moment, so he just hid his gaze as if nothing had happened and looked at the picture.
There is a large maze map in the middle, but it changes every half a moment, except for a mark in the center that never changes; there is a hexagonal groove at the bottom, like a bowl; in the four corners, there are a few scattered stars, like four broken Taoist seals that have been melted into a ball and their original appearance cannot be seen.
Star Points…
Dao seal
At that moment, Jianchou's eyes fell on the four symbols, and his eyelids suddenly twitched violently: This outline...
Looks so familiar!
Aren’t they the four Dao seals that she obtained from the gate of the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple but had never been able to practice
