The breeze blows over the hills, and the bright moon shines on the river.
They are the breeze and the bright moon, while the sorrow is just the hills and the river.
If you can’t hear it, you can’t hear it. If you can hear it, you have to pretend not to hear it.
Love doesn’t wait.
Jianchou used to be a very good-tempered person, even docile, but now he is not sure whether he has been corrupted by the Nineteen Continents, or by Fudaoshanren and his group of unreliable disciples. Anyway...
After discovering that going against the enemy would make him feel comfortable both physically and mentally, Jianchou resolutely embarked on this "smooth road to heaven".
Her path to success is smooth sailing, while others face a dead end.
Jianchou sat cross-legged on the ground with the ghost axe at his side. In front of him on the left was an ordinary Bingteng Yuqin, and on the right was an Bingteng Yuqin with a drop of Yuqin essence dropped on it.
According to "Human Instrument", Bingteng Yuqin is already an extremely high-grade material for body refining.
The first level of this "Human-Device" body refining method is the easiest to pass. Of course, this is for people who can endure pain, because it is just pain. But when it comes to the second and third levels, in addition to the pain, the more important problem is finding materials.
Without good fire, it is difficult to temper the bones; without good water, it is difficult to protect the internal organs.
Therefore, the "Human-Device" body-refining method is not only hard, tiring, dirty, and painful work, but also something that only cultivators with a wealthy family and a small treasury can afford.
There are few cultivators who practice body cultivation in the Nineteen Continents. Apart from the fact that body cultivation is too difficult and unnecessary, there is another reason, which is that everyone does not have enough strength.
Jianchou was lucky, he got fire in the first level and water in the second level.
Being able to choose between the two Bingteng Yuqin lamps is probably considered an extreme luxury in the eyes of other cultivators.
Any one you choose is enough!
Now I am struggling with which one to choose. It is clearly a "sweet trouble" that others cannot have even if they want to.
After a long time, Jianchou calculated carefully and made up his mind. He put the ordinary one into the Qiankun bag with a small jade bottle, leaving one jade cup in his hand. Jianchou looked at it and threw the jade cup into the Qiankun bag as well.
Anything that can appear in this small world of killing red is probably not an ordinary creature.
After putting the things away, Jianchou looked at the remaining Bingteng Yuqin.
He picked it up and took a big sip.
The third level of "Human Instrument" is the internal organs of heaven and earth. It is extremely simple to practice. One only needs to follow the simple methods provided in "Human Instrument" to guide Bingteng Yuqin to form a protection around one's internal organs and nourish them. It takes a relatively gentle approach.
As a result, Jianchou did not feel any pain this time.
The taste of Yuqin is a little sweet, and when you drink it, you will feel extraordinarily refreshing.
Bingteng Yuqin is the juice condensed from a special ice vine that grows in the ice field. It is inherently very mild.
As soon as it entered Jianchou's body, she guided it and immediately wrapped around his internal organs.
The originally fragile organs absorbed the spiritual energy from Yuqin and gradually became stronger...
The whole process was actually not slow, and because of his gentle temperament, Jianchou did not feel any pain like before.
She just felt as if her whole body was soaked in cold water, and she felt a sense of comfort and clarity from the inside out, her mind was clear, as if she had emerged from the clouds and the moon.
For a moment, Jianchou actually hoped that this time would last longer, longer...
It’s a pity that there is an end after all.
On the stone plate, everyone has started a new round of communication.
It was still Lekong who spoke first: "It's so scary... Fortunately, the donor in the east was kind enough to make Ximen Lu disappear, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have to save people."
"Are you saving people in the illusion?"
A listless Qian Que finally spoke and said a few words.
"Yes... I saved him three times in total, but he died every time..."
Thinking about it, Liaokong also shed tears of bitterness.
Qian Que said: "Strange, I only saw a lot of money and a poor child..."
"I haven't had time to see anything yet..." Meng Xizhou, who was in the south, sighed, thinking of the green apricots he had picked with great difficulty, but ultimately didn't come in handy. "But everyone's illusion seems to be different. I wonder what yours is. Oh, by the way, Miss Gu from Kunwu also went through an illusion. I wonder what it was?"
It was obvious that this guy actually wanted to communicate with Gu Qingmei.
Gu Qingmei snorted coldly and did not answer.
But in reality, her mind couldn't help but fly back to the fantasy of that day...
Why did I encounter such an illusion
She clearly remembered that the sword had been hanging on the wall and she had seen it before. Senior Brother Xie said that it was the sword he brought back from the lonely island on earth. It looked ordinary, so Gu Qingmei just took a look at it and never paid attention to it again.
This sword has never been unsheathed in front of her.
Therefore, Gu Qingmei was sure that she definitely did not know the name of this sword.
What I saw in the illusion were the three words "Seven-part Soul". Normally, people have three souls and seven spirits. Three parts of the soul and seven parts of the spirit. The name of this sword is very strange.
Most importantly…
Is this sword really called this name
Is what is shown in the illusion true or false
Gu Qingmei felt a little melancholy for a moment. After thinking about it and looking at the motionless green light again, she took out the communication spirit bead and prepared to ask Xie Buchen.
When the spirit bead was activated, it emitted a hazy white light.
Gu Qingmei closed her eyes and sank her consciousness into the spirit pearl.
Kunwu at this moment.
Xie Buchen had already walked to the edge of the square floating on top of the sky. The Hall of All Heavens was behind him, rising above the clouds.
His sleeves moved and a spirit bead flew out. Gu Qingmei's voice immediately rang in his mind.
"Xie Senior Brother, the sword hanging on the wall that you brought back from the lonely island on earth is called 'Seven Souls'?"
"… "
Seven parts soul.
Xie Buchen lowered his eyes, looked at the spirit bead, and frowned.
He seldom showed this sword to others.
And because it is just an ordinary sword, no one will notice it.
It was strange that Gu Qingmei asked about this sword for no reason.
Also, where did she know the name of this sword
After a moment of silence, Xie Buchen said calmly, "Yes."
Then, he didn't ask why.
He might have doubts in his heart, but Xie Buchen was not a talkative person.
No matter how much others say about things that he can decide and control, it has nothing to do with him.
Gu Qingmei in the Killing Red World also remained silent upon hearing this.
I don’t seem to know what to say...
Gu Qingmei touched her forehead and cursed herself in her heart: Why did she go to see Senior Brother Xie for no reason? Now she didn't know what to say. Wasn't she the one who was embarrassed? Enough!
She opened her mouth and wanted to say another word to end today's abrupt conversation, but at this moment -
On the stone plate, changes are happening again!
The green light that had been motionless suddenly rushed out and went towards the next level!
Gu Qingmei was simply stunned. For a moment, she didn't bother to talk to Xie Buchen anymore. She just shouted, "You do it again! Shameless!"
She took the spirit bead without hesitation, stepped on the flying sword, and rushed forward!
"The Emperor Jiang Bone Jade belongs to me alone. Anyone who fights with me will be killed without mercy!"
Her cold voice came through the stone plate.
The rest of the people ignored her wild words.
The third level is right in front of you!
Anyone who can get here should have the opportunity to pick something up. This is not a first-come, first-served basis, nor is it a reward for passing levels. It is a place where everyone has a chance!
Emperor Jiang bone jade
Who the hell cares about you!
The senior is such a good man, he finally rushed out again!
Except for the two people in the west and northwest who were still moving slowly, the speed of the rest of the people was like a beam of light!
Jianchou, who was speeding all the way, raised his eyebrows when he heard Gu Qingmei's words and immediately took a deep breath.
The ghost axe broke the oncoming wind, carrying her figure, and became faster.
First, the Green Lotus Spirit Fire tempered his bones, and then the Ice Vine and Jade Infusion moistened his internal organs. Jianchou, who was at the third level of "Human Instrument", had achieved a level of physical strength and toughness that an ordinary cultivator could hardly match.
Infinite power seemed to be hidden in her ordinary posture. She looked loose, but upon closer inspection, people would not dare to attack.
Because she seemed to have room and space to fight back at any time!
Jianchou's cultivation level was also improved through these two levels of rapid tempering.
Especially the one with Ice Vine Jade, which was full of spiritual energy and actually allowed Jianchou's fighting disk to expand outwards by half a foot.
As long as she adds some more strength, she should be able to reach the late stage of foundation building soon.
As my thoughts were surging, the mountain wall leading from the second level to the third level finally came to an end.
When Jianchou looked up, he saw that it was just an ordinary mountain wall.
Frowning, she didn't hesitate and rushed forward with the ghost axe.
Phew.
It was as if he rushed over and burst a bubble.
The bubble burst suddenly, and the world in front of Jianchou suddenly changed.
The third level, the bluest blue is stunning!
The lake is boundless, with lotus leaves reaching the sky on the surface and endless green spreading all the way from under Jianchou's feet.
She turned around and looked behind her, and there were endless lotus leaves behind her...
There is not a trace of any other color; even the lake water appears green.
Indeed, it is a stunning green.
Such pleasing colors suddenly brightened Jianchou's mood.
She looked around, but her eyes suddenly stopped at a certain place -
What is that
On a huge lotus leaf, a beautiful woman with half-naked shoulders was leaning diagonally.
The beauty was wearing an emerald dress, and even her hair was a deep dark green.
She raised her seductive eyes to look at Jianchou, then looked at the empty space around her...
Jianchou frowned.
Subconsciously, she turned her eyes and saw no one around.
Or maybe, there is someone, but I can't see it.
The beauty in the green dress twisted her slender waist, like a water snake, and changed to a more comfortable posture on the lotus leaf, then she spoke: "No one has been here for many years, I didn't expect that I would wait for you today. My name is Ye Pianpian, you can call me Sister Ye. Hehehe..."
When she said this, she actually started to chuckle.
The stone plate was floating next to Jianchou, and no sound came from it.
Ye Pianpian suddenly looked in one direction with a cold gaze.
"My friend, please put away your sword. Here, you can only see me, but not others, let alone hurt others. The first time, I will regard you as being presumptuous, if it happens a second time-"
She paused, then returned to her previous charm and gentleness.
“He will be killed.”
The voice was clear, but it made people's hair stand on end.
Jianchou frowned slightly.
From Ye Pianpian's words, Jianchou could immediately guess that—
After someone discovered that Ye Pianpian was actually talking to them, they actually took out their swords and seemed to want to hurt someone, or they had already launched attacks on the surroundings, probably trying to find their companions hiding in the "void".
However, Ye Pianpian discovered it, so she said what she has now.
Use a sword and want to strike first.
Who could this person be
Jianchou thought about it and found it difficult to judge each person's weapon.
Ye Pianpian's gaze also slowly became lazy.
She leaned back on the lotus leaf and looked up at the sky.
The clear sky was also dyed a strange green color.
This is what my grandfather likes...
With a sigh in her heart, Ye Pianpian spoke again in a charming tone: "There are no items designated for outstanding passers in the third level, but there are treasures everywhere in this green city. It's a pity that there is no such thing as something you can get without hard work. Therefore, there is also a rule in the green city - winners enter, losers are out."
The winners are in, the losers are out.
Jianchou was suddenly stunned.
Where there is victory and defeat, there is struggle.
What is Ye Pianpian implying by this
Everyone, no matter where they were in the void, were looking at Ye Pianpian, waiting for her to speak.
Ye Pianpian smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's just a competition. There are seven of you, well, it seems that there is destined to be a lucky person. But cultivation is mostly based on luck, and luck is also a kind of strength. Now, you will draw lots to see which opponent you can draw... After the draw, there will be a competition. Only the winner can enter Yi Bi Qing City and pick fruits. Otherwise, you will be kicked out."
No one spoke.
This scene was simply ridiculous for no reason.
Everyone, including Jianchou, is worried about something.
Ye Pianpian looked around and finally couldn't help laughing.
Her snake-like waist trembled as her body did, revealing more of her fair skin.
"Oh, it's really fun, fun... So fun! Looking at the expressions on your faces, I really don't understand. It seems like there is a grudge between you... Well, there is a stone plate, no one knows each other's identity, and no one interferes with each other. You can only kill the red plate to pass the message, but you can still make enemies with each other! Monks, this is really wonderful..."
"… "
There is no doubt that what she said is true.
Jianchou didn't say a word along the way, and she thought this situation could continue until the end.
Unexpectedly, just after entering Yibiqingcheng and before even touching the threshold of entry, he was hit on the head with such news. Jianchou thought of the "sins" he had committed along the way and felt so angry that he was about to fly away.
If her identity were known...
Jianchou, a genius who outshines Xie Buchen, is a disciple of Yashan. He has attracted all the hatred in the killing world, but he still hides his identity...
"senior".
If everyone's identities were really made public, Jianchou suspected that no matter how others fought, he might be the first one to be beaten to death by everyone in this beautiful city.
Beat him to death first, then reason with him.
Inexplicably…
I started to feel a chill in my heart.
Jianchou slowly raised his eyes, looked at Ye Pianpian carefully, and his heart slowly calmed down.
Since the Killing Plate and the Red Plate were used, this Killing Red Small Realm was originally intended to see the cultivators' mutual suspicion. However, now that the Emperor Jiang Bone Jade has not been seen, even if the owner of this Killing Red Small Realm is interested in watching everyone fight, he would not do it so early.
What's more, looking at Ye Pianpian's extremely happy expression, she was probably just laughing at them for being timid.
He was short of money in some corner and was already biting his fingers out of fear.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place!
He even mocked Gu Qingmei, asking her, a member of the glorious Kunwu sect, to "keep her dissatisfaction to herself"!
Ouch, my mouth is so stinky!
Qian Que wanted to strangle his past self to death.
I may make you happy for a while, but you will have to buy yourself a coffin later!
My heart was pounding with nervousness and I was almost dying of nervousness due to lack of money.
Others were also nervous, but of course some were excited, like Meng Xizhou, who had already introduced himself, so he wasn't worried at all about his identity being exposed.
At this moment, he was just like Ye Pianpian, looking around with an expression of watching a good show, as if he wanted to penetrate this void and find someone in it.
It would be great if I could know who that particularly manly senior is, so I can ask him whether he would accept a disciple or not.
Ye Pianpian didn't let everyone be nervous for too long.
She had seen enough, laughed enough, and slowly stroked her chest to even out her breathing before she said leisurely, "Okay, don't worry. You can't know the identities of everyone. But because of the battle, you can know the identities of your opponents when you compete for the opportunity to enter Yi Bi Qing Cheng. You can definitely hear and see... Haha, who would you hope to run into this time? Come, have a happy draw!"
Everyone's face turned black.
This is even worse!
Will anyone know if I get killed in this game
Almost at the moment when the rules were announced, a thought popped up in everyone's mind at almost the same time -
Never, ever draw the due east!
Your mother!
That would cost lives!
However, they had no chance to rebel against the rules.
Jianchou also frowned, and like everyone else, he was not at peace.
Who will be picked
Who do you hope to draw
What effect will it have if you draw someone
…
All the questions cannot be answered.
At this moment, the green light on the stone plate floating beside her suddenly began to spin wildly.
At the same time, the other lights on the killing disk also began to rotate.
The speed was too fast, so fast that Jianchou could not tell which two lights overlapped with his own, and he could not tell which one was which in the red light.
However, other people can see the track of this green light!
Everyone could see the green light from the stone disk, and they all knew—
This is the senior!
Qian Que held the golden abacus and kept repeating in his mind: Don’t meet Gu Qingmei, don’t meet Gu Qingmei, don’t meet that senior either, don’t go to the east, don’t go to Green, don’t go to anything… I don’t want a single opponent… Nothing, nothing…
After all, there is still one person who will advance directly without any opponent.
Everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit!
Ye Pianpian casually pointed and shouted softly: "Set!"
The rapidly rotating stone plate suddenly stopped!
Jianchou saw that the green light belonging to him was overlapping with the red light.
At this moment, she felt something moving around her, as if a mysterious space had been opened up.
Another breath finally revealed its trace!
Behind your back!
In the instant he turned around, Jianchou's whole body was tense, like an arrow on a string!
A figure stood quietly behind Jianchou.
This will be her enemy and opponent in the next moment!
Look up and hold your breath.
She finally saw clearly—
