Here, she is no longer a returnee, but just a passer-by.
After putting the key away, Jianchou did not stay any longer and went straight back to Yashan from the isolated island on earth.
The sun has not yet set and it is not late.
But before she passed through the mountain protection formation and landed on the top of Lingzhao, she saw a figure sitting with legs crossed by the Guihe Well.
This posture is so familiar.
He was wearing a dirty Taoist robe that seemed like he would never change it in his life. His skinny face had a pair of bright eyes, which gave him a particularly shrewd and insightful look. But if you add the broken bamboo pole on his left hand, the chicken drumstick in his right hand, and the intoxicated expression on his face that seemed to be tempted by the desire for food…
It’s a bit hard to put into words.
At this moment, Jianchou didn't even have time to sort out her inner thoughts, and the Fudaoshan people below had already seen her.
The golden, greasy chicken leg in my hand had been almost eaten.
At this time, just throw it towards the sky with all your strength!
“Pah!”
Steady, accurate and ruthless!
This is not just a chicken drumstick, it is a unique hidden weapon that can kill most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Nineteen Continents in seconds!
Jianchou, who was still in mid-air, felt something shaking in front of his eyes, and then he felt a pain in his head, as if someone had hit him with a sledgehammer.
With a "buzz" sound.
The spiritual energy that had been flowing smoothly throughout her body suddenly dissipated.
At that moment, many disciples who were still on the top of Lingzhao or on the wall of Yashan only heard a loud "plop"!
A moon-white shadow fell from the sky.
It was like a piece of stone, falling miserably to the ground.
As luck would have it, it was right at the feet of the mountain man Fudao.
Looking again, who else could this be but Master Bo Jianchou who had just returned to the mountain gate yesterday
Countless disciples gasped and fell silent in fear.
Only the "culprit" was complacent. Not only did he not feel guilty about his brutal act of destroying his beloved disciple, but he was proud of it and even laughed.
"Hahahaha, it seems that after this retreat, not only have I not lost my sharpness, but my cultivation has really improved. I threw this chicken bone more accurately than before!"
"… "
At this moment, Jianchou suddenly had the urge to jump up and give his chicken leg master a knee strike!
But she was caught completely off guard and shot down from a great height. Even though she had practiced the "Human Device" art, the fact that she fell in such an extremely humiliating "prostrate" posture was enough to make her suffer.
For a moment, I felt my whole face was numb.
My head was dizzy and my eyes were full of stars. I almost saw the enchanting robe of Mr. Ruhua—a hundred flowers were blooming!
She raised her head with difficulty, coughed twice, and got up from the ground. Only a large human-shaped pit was left there, which made her angry.
"Master, you—"
"Me? I've practiced mountain man!"
Completely unaware of the evil he had committed, Fudaoshanren chuckled. This remark almost choked his beloved disciple to death, and he even felt that it was not enough and added another word of stabbing.
"How about it, is it accurate?"
allow
You big head ghost!
If I hadn't practiced "Human Device", I might have died here now!
After Jianchou got up with difficulty, he felt so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit, not to mention that when he touched his forehead, it was greasy...
"… "
Why do I suddenly have the urge to kill my master? Someone come and hold her back!
She took a deep breath and put the lawsuit on her mind with great effort. She tried to speak calmly: "Master, next time, can you please not throw away the chicken bones randomly?"
"The mountain people didn't litter, it was you who threw it away, you little heartless one!"
Fudao Shanren was sitting by the Guihe Well. He glanced at her sideways, snorted coldly, then took out a chicken leg, took a bite, and muttered to himself.
"You have really grown up. Why are you wandering around outside instead of waiting for your master to come out of seclusion? Huh?"
"I… "
Even though he knew that his master was rarely reliable and that all he talked about all day was eating, drinking and having fun, he still felt like vomiting blood when he saw such an unreasonable accusation put upon him.
"My disciple, don't you have something to do in the hidden world? Besides, you know that you are in seclusion."
"Oh, it's Master's fault?"
As soon as he fluttered his eyelids and stopped chewing the chicken leg, Fu Daoshanren started to roll his eyes at him.
There is no point in reasoning with someone who doesn't want to be reasonable.
At this moment, Jianchou finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "bow to the boss".
She took a deep breath again and bowed her head: "It's all Jianchou's fault. I made you worried, Master."
I didn't feel it before I said it, and it wasn't very obvious in the first half of the sentence, but when I got to the second half, I don't know why, I suddenly became choked up.
After all, there has been no news for sixty years.
From the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple to the battle for the cauldron in Jiyudi, how many life and death levels have you passed
It is really not easy to come back safely.
Just by listening to the "cold war" between Yashan and Kunwu when he just returned to the Nineteen Continents, he could tell how much concern and effort the people of Yashan, especially the people of Fudaoshan, had put in for his whereabouts and safety.
So it was originally just a joke, but it turns out that Chou somehow got some real feelings out of it.
Even the circles around his eyes seemed inexplicably red.
However, Fudaoshanren was frightened by her appearance, and his chicken leg almost fell to the ground. He quickly waved his hands and no longer dared to pretend to be a big shot.
At this moment, his eyes rolled around and he looked up at the sky.
"Well, well, at least I'm back alive. It's not as miserable as the mountain people thought. I didn't lose an arm or a leg or anything like that..."
"… "
Hey, how bad am I in your eyes
The little bit of true emotion that had just been brewing successfully flew to Java after Fudaoshanren's words.
Jianchou suddenly didn't want to say a word.
The face was completely flat, like a board, expressionless, just looking at him dimly.
"Do you have any objections?" Fudaoshanren looked at her.
She shook her head: "I dare not, I am just overjoyed to see Master come out of retreat."
Do you always have a blank expression when you are overjoyed
Fu Daoshan didn't believe her, but he didn't bother to care. After all, to be honest, it was great news to see her return safely and improve her cultivation.
only…
"Look at you. You haven't even completed your three souls and seven spirits yet. Why are you in such a hurry to break through? You have already stepped into the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage. If you look back and leave your body, you may encounter the calamity of the heart at any time. You are a disciple, but you cultivate faster than me, the master. Is this fair?"
These words sounded like they were full of worry, but after she carefully thought about it, she felt that the second half of the sentence was the key point.
Jianchou raised his eyes and glanced at him: "My disciple is also at the critical moment of life and death. If he doesn't break through, he will die. Sooner or later, of course I will choose the latter."
"Yeah, come to think of it, I haven't asked you what you've been through yet." Fudao Shanren slapped his head, as if he just remembered it now, "Okay, just tell me how miserable your life has been in the past sixty years! Come and make Shanren happy."
"… "
Suddenly I felt so tired.
Jianchou didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes. He was grabbed by Fudaoshanren and sat down by the Guihe Well, just like he had sat on the floor of the Lanyue Palace with Sect Leader Zheng Yao, and told him everything that had happened to him.
She had already told Zheng Yao about it once before, and it was obvious that Zheng Yao did not repeat such a lengthy story to Fudaoshanren, so she had to tell it slowly herself.
Start from the hidden world again and go all the way back.
When talking about the poems left by Master Bu Yu outside the hidden world, the withered statues in the wandering mind, and her inference about the inner demon ascending and the death of the real master, Fu Dao nodded in agreement;
When talking about Li Jun's accident, Fu Dao also showed regret;
Speaking of the sneak attack on Xie Buchen, the fight with him on the Buddha's top for the scroll of Master Buyu's insights on the "Nine-bend River Map", which is the "Forty-eight Records of Qingfeng Temple", and the final fierce battle -
Fudao Shanren finally couldn't hold back any more and stamped his feet in anger: "This little monster was taught by that old monster Kunwu! If I had known this would happen, I should have given you a few more good things. Even if we can't kill him with our own strength, we can still smash him to death with magic weapons!"
I am ashamed to see you.
She had never thought of expanding the fight between her and Xie Buchen into a feud between the Yashan and Kunwu sects, and Xie Buchen himself had not used the power of Hengxu Zhenren to fight her. If the masters of both sects intervened, it would be bad.
So she laughed dryly and said, "Anyway, he didn't get any advantage. Now it seems that I am slightly better in this battle of Qingfeng Temple Hidden Realm."
"Hmph. Are you satisfied with just this? You are so useless! I am too lazy to teach you a lesson."
Fudaoshanren was quite disdainful, but after thinking about it, he changed the subject.
"But fortunately, Kunwu didn't get away with it. I'm not a mountain man, I'm slandering him. This old monster Hengxu has at least 9,999 tricks in his heart, he's really a cunning thief!"
Jianchou agreed with this and listened quietly without any rebuttal.
"The Nine-bend River Map was originally in the hands of Baji Daozun, and it belonged to their Kunwu. Later, Baji Daozun ascended to heaven, and the river map was snatched away by the old witch Luye. After she understood it, she threw it to Buyu like a broken shoe. That's why Buyu was wrongly accused of killing Mingri Xinghai."
"Tell me, can Kunwu be willing to accept this?"
"The Nine-bend River Map not only contains profound Taoist magic, but also some secrets. Although the old monster didn't say it, I think he always thought that this thing belonged to Kunwu. So in the hidden world, the purpose of that little monster named Xie is probably just on this river map."
Fudaoshanren had never talked about these things before, but now he was speaking openly and honestly.
After all, Jianchou has reached a certain level of cultivation, and it is time for him to know more things.
How does the saying go
With great power comes great responsibility - it's just the same thing.
Before entering the hidden world, Jianchou had heard about these old events from Xie Buchen, so it was also within his expectations.
She actually understood what Fudaoshanren meant.
"It seems that Master is very satisfied with me for snatching half of the "Forty-eight Records of Qingfeng Temple"?"
“Hahahaha, that’s it!”
When Fudaoshan became proud, he forgot to despise Jianchou. His face was full of joy and he kept rubbing his hands with happiness.
"I am glad to be able to ruin the old monster's business. Come, hurry up and take out the other half so I can see it."
"Forty-eight Records of Qingfeng Temple" is the last thing that Jianchou and Xie Buchen fought for in the hidden world. It is the experience of Master Buyu when he was studying and practicing "Nine-bend River Map" and some mysterious techniques transcribed from it.
At that time, the scroll was placed on the top of the Great Buddha Pagoda.
Fortunately, Jianchou was quick-witted and tore off half of it.
However, this "half" is probably different from what the people of Fudao Mountain think.
Jianchou looked at the expectant expression of his unreliable master, coughed with a stiff face, then concealed his smile, and then took out the half-opened scroll.
The snow-white scroll was made of some monster's fur, but it looked extremely smooth. The dark golden characters written vertically were clearly legible seal characters, and the scroll itself emitted a light and lustrous white light.
However, when Fudaoshan saw it, his face turned green!
half
So this is the "half-way" method? !
Anyone who heard Jianchou say that she tore off half of the scroll would think that she either tore off the first half or the second half of "Forty-eight Records of Qingfeng Temple".
But who could have thought!
She didn't tear the scroll vertically, but horizontally!
Is this still watchable
What the hell are you looking at!
If I cut a bamboo slip horizontally and give you the upper half, can you understand it
Fudaoshanren almost popped his eyes out of his head, raised his finger and pointed at Jianchou, his lips and fingers trembling together: "You, you, you..."
"Master, I really didn't mean it..."
What can she do
She is also helpless!
Jianchou tried to defend himself: "Actually, think about it this way. I only got half of the scroll, and Xie Buchen also got half. I can't see it, and neither can he. Anyway, it's good that they didn't get it, right?"
"What a fart!"
Fudaoshanren was not someone who had never seen anything. Even when the Fantian Seal was in Jianchou's hand, he did not even take a second look. But now he was particularly concerned about the "Forty-eight Records of Qingfeng Temple" which had a great connection with the "Nine-bend River Map".
"You are really hurting others and benefiting yourself at the same time! Now, even you can't stand it anymore."
You must know that the three great beings who ascended to heaven at the turn of ancient and modern times were all involved with the "Nine-Curved River Map". The more you read about it, the more confident you will be.
Not to mention, now Jianchou's soul is incomplete.
God knows if there is any secret method above
Fudaoshanren actually didn’t care whether Xie Buchen got the scroll or not. After all, he knew very well why this person existed.
It is said that Kunwu still has to rely on him to survive the terrible "hundred years of catastrophe".
But he was very worried about whether he could see it.
Seeing that the half-torn scroll she had torn back was like this, I was so angry.
Jianchou looked at his master's expression, his eyes sparkling. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and comforted him, "Don't be angry, it's not a big deal. Now I took half and Xie Buchen took half. We can see the two together. Find an opportunity to cooperate with him, or just snatch the other half."
“Bang!”
Fudaoshan slapped his thigh, pointed at Jianchou with the greasy chicken leg, and praised: "That makes sense!"
But he came to his senses immediately, clenched his fist, put it to his lips, coughed pretentiously, and said: "Well, we Yashan and Kunwu are in the same boat after all. You two should just 'cooperate in a friendly way', 'cooperate in a friendly way', and don't cause any trouble."
Friendly cooperation...
Well, Jianchou nodded and showed a light and kind smile: "Don't worry, I won't worry."
"hey-hey… "
Fudaoshanren finally felt relieved.
He picked up this disciple himself, he is extremely smart.
I thought that he had deliberately planned out some divine secret and came to an isolated island on earth to specially accept Xie Buchen as his disciple, but now he is not qualified to be a disciple that I just picked up casually!
Just imagining Hengxu's mood, he felt happy.
"Okay, let's talk about what happened next. I heard that you ended up in the dangerous place called Jiyu. Zheng Yao also told me that you encountered something strange in there, and he must tell me about it in person?"
As Fu Dao was speaking, he remembered this and suddenly asked a question.
When Jianchou was stunned, he knew what he was talking about.
In fact, she had always been thinking about this matter. However, because the facts were so bizarre and the matter was of great importance, and because the Nine-headed Bird's residual soul had warned her, she did not tell Zheng Yao for the time being, and only said that she would report it to Fudaoshan first.
"Here's what happened..."
She mentioned all the details related to Yashan after she entered Dingzheng, especially those related to Zhong Lanling and reincarnation, and finally the nine-headed bird.
"I met Him somewhere in the Eighteen Layers of Hell. He told me to report to you the news that His soul is still there. He also said, 'During the war between the Yin and Yang Realms, please put aside the grudges within the Nineteen Continents for the time being, focus your strength on attacking the Extreme Realm first, and reorganize the cycle of reincarnation.'"
Before she finished speaking, the frivolous expression on Fudaoshanren's face suddenly disappeared.
When she finished speaking the last word, his face turned completely cold.
When Fudaoshanren didn't smile, he looked a little scary. Under those eyes that were as clear as Hengxu's, a myriad of sharp lights flashed through, and finally a bit of gloomy depression was brewed.
After seeing Chou Jiyu and his group, he guessed that there must be some past and secrets hidden behind Yashan, so before saying this, he had guessed how the people of Fudao Mountain would react.
But she had not expected the dark clouds of impending storm and the hint of anger that could be seen from those tightly pursed lips.
"Master..."
She opened her mouth to say something, to ask something.
Unexpectedly, Fu Dao raised his hand, which was unusual for her, to stop her from saying anything. He stood up and said, "This is not something that should be said outside. Come with me, the master."
Jianchou stood up as well.
Before she could react, the hand of the mountain man who was helping her was already on her shoulder. Then, she felt that she began to fall rapidly, and a thick darkness passed before her eyes. She could faintly smell the strange smell of damp rocks.
After a while, his feet finally touched solid ground.
In just a blink of an eye, she was no longer at Lingzhaoding.
Although there is only one mountain, Yashan is big, and it makes the best use of various spaces in the mountain. The Sutra Library and the Animal Trapping Ground that Jianchou knew about were both dug in the mountain.
But she had never seen this place before.
In the huge dark space, it is difficult to see your fingers when you stretch out your hand.
The surroundings were extremely empty and silent, as if even breathing would produce an echo. If you looked up slightly, you could see stalactite-like rocks hanging down from the top of the mountain, which was unknown how high it was. It looked both spectacular and strange.
But at the end of Jianchou's sight, there was a faint white light.
It was a skeleton of eerie white bones, lying on a high place, with the clothes on its body still intact.
The white light that Jianchou saw came from his white bones.
But the moment their feet landed on the ground and entered this space, the white light began to flow gently and soon turned into a hazy golden light.
A strange scene suddenly appeared.
Jianchou actually saw with his own eyes that after the golden light appeared, meridians, flesh and skin suddenly grew on the white bones!
In just one or two breaths, an old man, although extremely skinny but with flesh and blood, appeared before his eyes!
It was not until this time that she realized that the white bones, or the old man, were not suspended in the air, but were sitting cross-legged on a high round platform.
On top of the round platform, there is a huge bronze mirror.
Jianchou could see it only because the bronze mirror high up clearly reflected the golden light emanating from the old man.
only…
At this moment, Jianchou stared at the tall round platform and the edge of the huge bronze mirror, and he actually took a breath of cold air!
Looks so familiar.
This circular platform looked exactly the same as the altar she had seen in the eighteenth level of hell in the polar region!
She even remembered that there were many pits on the surface of the altar in the Jiyu Territory.
At that time, what she was thinking was: there should have been some round object placed on the altar, but it was later taken away by someone.
Now looking at the high altar where the old man was sitting cross-legged, Jianchou's heart suddenly started beating like a drum.
Then, she heard the voice of Fudaoshanren who had walked forward: "Grandfather, my disciple went to the Extreme Region and brought back some news. It involves reincarnation and is related to the Nine-headed Bird—"
