The place where the real person attained enlightenment is different. Even after the season has passed, there are still bamboo shoots, and the quality is quite good, the meat is crispy and tender, and it smells fragrant.
Zhu Changyang happily put the bamboo shoots into the mustard bag, and then continued walking forward with Jun Shu.
The bamboo forest is covered with green layers, and all you can see is lush green.
After walking for a while, they felt that the bamboo sea was endless, as if it had no edge, and they couldn't see the way they came.
Although Zhu Changyang came here with the intention of traveling, he felt a little bored of seeing the same scenery all the time. He wondered if the bamboo forest was the only scene left in Master Gu Peng's memory before his death
His true identity is actually the cultivator Su Dongpo!
Fortunately, after walking for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water.
Zhu Changyang's spirits lifted. He followed the sound of water, passed through clumps of green bamboo, and pushed aside a cluster of green branches. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he felt enlightened.
All I saw was a flat sandy ground in front of me, about ten feet in radius, with a cliff at the end of the ground.
The cliff is towering into the clouds, and the top cannot be seen. In the misty white clouds, a thin waterfall flows down.
At the bottom is a crescent-shaped stone pool with round pebbles piled on the edge. The pool is deep and a waterfall falls into it, splashing water.
There are also many sword cultivators here, flying their swords in the clouds and searching on the water.
There is an octagonal pavilion made of bamboo on the right side of the stone pond. The bamboo is very old.
Zhu Changyang walked around the pavilion first, then frowned: "Why are there such people everywhere? They have no manners!"
It turned out that many of the bamboos in the pavilion had their names engraved on them by people who had come here before, as well as the classic "XX was here".
Jun Shu appraised his choice of words and thought it was very appropriate, so he nodded and said contemptuously: "No quality."
Zhu Changyang shook his head and walked to the edge of the stone pond again.
Originally, he just wanted to check in, but when he looked over, he was shocked. He immediately stretched his hand back to greet Jun Shu: "Xiao Ci, come and see! There are live sashimi here?!"
Jun Shu was puzzled. He followed Zhu Changyang's movements and took two steps forward. When he reached the edge of the pond, he was slightly surprised and sneered, "This master does have some skills."
The water in the stone pond is extremely clear, almost transparent, and in the water, there are fish swimming around.
The "fish meat" was the size of chopsticks, very thin, without skin, and with pink and white tendons exposed.
To be precise, it is a thin piece of sashimi, but with an eye on one end and a tail fin on the other.
Zhu Changyang:
At first he thought he was dazzled, or that some uncultured swordsman had thrown the cut fish fillets into the pond.
When I took a closer look, I was sure that these "sashimi" were all alive and were a group of fish that looked like "fish meat".
Although I know that there are many strange things in the world of cultivation, I have never heard of such a strange fish.
Zhu Changyang was extremely curious, and immediately stopped a passing swordsman and asked, "Brother, do you know why this fish looks like this?"
The swordsman who was stopped looked at him with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are you here again?"
Zhu Changyang then realized that the person who stopped him was the tour guide who had explained the situation to him earlier. He immediately showed a familiar look: "It's you again. Great! You are so knowledgeable, you must know what's going on!"
The tour guide wanted to refuse at first, but when he heard this, he was immediately delighted and said with a straight face, "I'm not very knowledgeable, but I do know a lot about the Lonely Peng Secret Realm."
"Big brother, you are too modest." Zhu Changyang clasped his fists and said, "Big brother, please speak."
The tour guide finally lost himself in the constant calls of "brother" and couldn't help but explain again, saying, "Do you know where this pond is?"
Zhu Changyang shook his head.
The tour guide explained: "This is the sword-washing pond of Gu Peng Zhenren. The fish in the pond are called 'Yu Fu', which was left by Zhenren when he attained enlightenment."
It is said that Master Gu Peng realized the meaning of sword in bamboo. After going to Kunlun, he still kept bamboo as companions. He built a pavilion beside the sword washing pool with bamboo. Whenever he had free time, he would meditate in the pavilion.
At that time, Gu Peng was still young and had not yet completely fasted. He spent most of his time eating wind and drinking dew, and occasionally eating black fish from the pond. He would always use his invisible sword intent to cut open the raw fish and eat it as sashimi.
One day, Gu Peng, as usual, used sword intent to kill fish. At that time, dusk was falling and the pond was full of rosy clouds. When the sword intent was drawn, the whole pond was filled with red light, which actually brought the afterglow of the setting sun into the sword.
Gu Peng thus achieved enlightenment through swordplay, and the fish meat that he had chopped into slices unexpectedly came back to life, grew eyes and a tail fin, and grew in the sword-washing pool ever since. Later generations called it "Yu Fu".
"As expected, all true gods have some miraculous powers." Zhu Changyang was so excited that he stared at the "Yu Fu" in the water and sighed, "What a good story, what a good fish! If I use this to open a sashimi shop, it will be much more interesting than tuna and salmon!"
Studio:
[??? This fish is awesome!! It has meat and no bones, and doesn’t need to be processed. Isn’t this the fish of my dreams! I suggest introducing it to our world! Slurp~]
[Master Gu Peng was able to successfully attain enlightenment by looking at a pond of fish. What kind of willpower does this have~]
[Changyang's idea is my idea! Speaking of which, our history of eating sashimi can be traced back to a very early time, and we eat it very delicately, and there are many related stories! ]
The tour guide heard Zhu Changyang's thoughts and immediately shook his head and said, "No, Yu Fu can only survive in the secret realm."
As early as when the Gupeng Secret Realm was first opened, a cultivator had fished out Yu Fu and brought him outside the country, but Yu Fu feeds on the sword intent of the real person and could not survive outside this place.
Zhu Changyang had to give up the idea with regret, but he did not leave. It was rare to see such a strange thing, so of course he had to take a closer look.
I continued to squat by the pond, looking at the moving sashimi with interest, thinking that the fish had a lot of exercise and must be very chewy to eat.
Jun Shu couldn't help but laugh, but didn't urge him. He went back to the pavilion and took a nap against the bamboo.
At this time, the glow in the sky disappeared, the water in the lake gradually darkened, and it was difficult to see clearly, so Zhu Changyang moved forward a little.
As I got closer, I suddenly felt something was wrong. I saw a black... cat's head emerging silently from the deep water
Zhu Changyang:
Are there too many weird things in this world of cultivation
There are not only sashimi but also cats in the water? Is it possible that production and sales are directly integrated
It was too dark and everything in the water was blurry, but I could vaguely see that the cat had an extremely large head, two round yellow and green eyes staring at me, and a tuft of white hair on its forehead... Wait!
What did the profiteer say before entering the secret realm - "Some people have even encountered the white-browed tiger king."
Zhu Changyang's whole body stiffened, and white sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
He suddenly realized that this was not a cat, but a huge black insect.
The big beast was not in the water. There was only its reflection in the water. It should be above the pool, or perhaps just behind him.
But Zhu Changyang didn't dare to look back. The tiger was still staring at him in the water. He was afraid that if he moved, the tiger would pounce on him immediately.
Judging from the reflection, the tiger should be very close to him. If it makes a move, he would not be able to dodge it with his weak skills.
At this time, we can only pin our hopes on someone powerful enough!
Zhu Changyang glanced to the right, trying hard to make eye contact with his thigh.
At this moment, the sound of sword sounds suddenly came from the side, and a long sword flew out from the side and stabbed the black tiger.
The black tiger was suddenly frightened, and instantly jumped up, opened its mouth wide, and roared as it pounced towards Zhu Changyang.
Zhu Changyang's heart almost burst out of his chest, and he instinctively blurted out: "Xiaoci—"
Almost at the same time, his waist was suddenly grabbed and his eyes flickered. When he looked carefully again, he found that he was standing on the edge of the ground.
Jun Shu held his waist with one hand, looked towards the pool, his eyes slightly cold: "It's a demon tiger."
Zhu Changyang also noticed it.
The black tiger missed its pounce and did not chase after it. Instead, it squatted on the spot, arching its back, as if ready to pounce.
The original place refers to the water surface of the stone pond. Such a huge black tiger just stepped directly on the water without sinking.
Even though Zhu Changyang had never seen a monster beast, he could tell that the tiger had some magical powers.
The sword that attacked just now failed to hit, and immediately turned back and was caught by a middle-aged swordsman in blue clothes.
Immediately afterwards, three more thin swords flew out from the bamboo forest, and three sword cultivators jumped out and surrounded the blue-sleeved sword cultivator, occupying the four corners of the flat ground.
The four men pointed swords at the demon tiger, their eyes shining brightly, the swords trembled slightly, and the clanging sound of metal could be faintly heard.
Zhu Changyang was at the peak of the foundation building realm after all. Although his martial arts were not very good, his five senses were extremely sharp. He could vaguely see four air currents with faint halos in the night, crisscrossing and trapping the demon tiger in the middle.
It was the first time he saw this kind of materialized airflow, and he was immediately amazed: "Is this the sword energy? It's so powerful!"
Jun Shu said in a calm tone: "The sword energy that you can see is not a powerful sword energy."
Zhu Changyang found this statement very irritating and glared at him: "Is this statement implying me or them?"
Jun Shu seemed to hear nothing and looked ahead calmly.
The four of them were clearly well prepared. They quickly formed a sword formation, moved forward in an orderly manner, and slowly tightened the formation.
The black tiger arched its hind body higher, making a "gurgling" sound in its throat, and its pair of big green eyes wandered over the four people, as if selecting prey.
Zhu Changyang was so nervous that he dared not even breathe. Suddenly, he felt cold and the air around him seemed to be frozen. The temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees.
A deep voice came from above: "Don't hurt it."
Zhu Changyang thought the voice was very familiar. He looked up and, in the faint moonlight, saw a figure wearing a black gauze hat flying down from the top of the waterfall.
It was the man in black who sat at the same table with them outside the secret realm.
The black-clothed man's cultivation was much higher than the four sword cultivators. As he flew down, he crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his powerful cultivation was pressed to the surroundings, covering the entire flat ground.
The four sword cultivators felt a bone-chilling cold at the same time. The man in blue clothes said in a stern tone, "This demon tiger is in our hands. No one else can take it away."
He winked at the other three, who nodded. He changed the sword techniques in his hands, shouted loudly, and the thin sword emitted a brilliant cold light, carrying an extremely sharp sword energy, and flew towards the demon tiger in a hurry.
Four swords were fired at the same time, constantly changing positions in the air, blocking all retreat routes on all sides.
The man in black stretched out his right hand and pushed towards the center of the sword formation, but he was still in mid-air and far away, so he was ultimately one step too late.
The four swords had reached the demon tiger's neck, only an inch away from piercing it.
The four sword masters were delighted to see that their attack was successful, and they all took a step forward. In a flash, the demon tiger opened its big red mouth and let out a sudden roar.
The roar was extremely terrifying. Zhu Changyang, who was far away outside the formation, felt his heart shaken and his blood boiling.
Inside the sword formation, the earth was shaking and the water was trembling.
The combined power of the four swords is extremely sharp, with a force of tremendous force, and ordinary monsters will have no chance of escaping.
The power of the black tiger was far greater than anyone had expected. In addition, the four men were worried that the man in black would get there first, so they were slightly distracted and their formation lost its rigor.
Wherever the whistling sound passed, the sword energy was shattered, and the four thin swords were directly shaken away and hit the four people in the opposite direction.
The four of them were shocked and felt a fishy taste in their throats. Their minds were already damaged. They wanted to concentrate their energy and make hand gestures again, but it was too late.
Seeing the long sword flying towards them, they could only roll sideways in panic and barely avoided it. The long sword fell to the ground and all four of them looked pale.
As a sword cultivator, being forced by a demonic tiger to abandon his sword and escape was a huge shame.
Zhu Changyang was even more stunned.
When Xie Xun saw this Lion Roar Technique, he would call it an expert!
However, this was not over yet. The roar caused the water surface of the stone pond to explode. Amidst the splashing water, the demon tiger leaped up and pounced on the blue-sleeved swordsman.
It moved with incredible speed, its front claws stretched out in anger. In the moonlight, those claws looked like steel nails, and they carried with them unparalleled demonic power.
If this attack hits, the blue-sleeved swordsman will surely die instantly.
The waterfall rushing down was swept by the strong wind, and the water vapor scattered, turning into fluffy ice needles, covering the demon tiger's head.
For a moment, there was a strong wind on the flat ground. Zhu Changyang, who was standing on the edge, could not help trembling all over and could hardly open his eyes.
Not to mention where the ice needles were flying.
The demon tiger was truly amazing. It immediately turned around, let out another earth-shaking roar, leaped upward, and actually flew into the air, pouncing straight into the air and biting the man in black.
The man in black was not in a hurry. He changed his finger gestures and disappeared from his original place, appearing behind the demon tiger in an instant.
Just like a ghost.
At the same time, the entire waterfall exploded, and water mist splashed.
Under the dim moonlight, the misty water vapor turned into fine ice particles, wrapping the demon tiger inside and pressing it in layer by layer.
The water mist and ice crystals were attached with extremely strong cultivation. The demon tiger stretched out its four claws angrily and roared loudly, but it could not escape at all.
The icy fog was getting tighter and tighter, and the demon tiger gradually lost its strength under the powerful pressure. Its green eyes gradually dimmed, and it was about to faint in an instant.
A little finger-long ice needle approached the white hair on the demon tiger's forehead and was about to penetrate it.
At this moment, a faint light flashed on the forehead bone under the white hair, the demon tiger's eyes shone brightly, and a terrifying demonic aura burst out of its body.
The demonic energy was so powerful that the entire ice crystal prison exploded instantly and turned into flying smoke.
The smoke waves were shaking, and an invisible aura was surging in all directions.
As early as when the white light on the demon tiger's forehead first appeared, Jun Shu had already made a hand gesture with his right hand, and the rusty sword flew out, drawing a circle in front of him and Zhu Changyang.
When the smoke and waves surged in, the sword intent was already formed, and it collided with the surging demonic energy in the air, just blocking it.
Others did not react as quickly, and even if they did, they did not have such strength.
The evil spirit was so overwhelming that not only the cliffs and waterfalls were shaking, but the entire bamboo forest was bending outwards, like layers of green waves spreading out.
There were screams and clanging sounds coming from the bamboo forest, and some bamboo branches rose from the ground and reached the sky.
Zhu Changyang had never seen such a grand scene before, and exclaimed in amazement: "How amazing!"
Jun Shu's face was slightly grim. "Here is the sword power of that Gu Peng. It has a great suppression on the demon cultivators. Only one tenth of that person's cultivation remains."
Zhu Changyang was stunned: "Demon cultivator?"
As he spoke, the man in black was also affected by the demonic power. His black gauze hat broke into two pieces and flew away. The whole person flew backwards and finally landed on a green bamboo branch that stretched out from the edge.
Under the soft moonlight, his face could be vaguely discerned, and his brows were raised, his eyes were bright, and he looked extremely fierce.
As the moonlight shone, a red light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.
The sword cultivators around them immediately exclaimed: "Demon cultivator!!"
"He is a demon cultivator!"
The black-clothed man's cultivation was originally suppressed by Gu Peng's sword intent. In addition, he did not originally want to hurt the demon tiger, so he did not use his full strength and just wanted to knock it unconscious.
He didn't expect that there was something strange about the demon tiger's body. He was caught off guard and it was too late for him to gather his energy.
The evil spirit penetrated into his internal organs and his whole body trembled. Without thinking too much, he put his palms in front of his chest. A silver light suddenly appeared in his palms, and dozens of silver rays appeared out of thin air and shot out.
The demon tiger was forced to retreat, and the demon wind condensed and finally stopped.
There are a lot of people coming to the Gupeng Secret Realm this time, many of them are knowledgeable and have good memory.
Someone immediately guessed the black-clothed man's identity from his skills, cultivation, and the silver light that appeared at the end, and shouted in surprise: "It's Han Su Yin Mang! He is Yin Kanwei!!"
As soon as the shout came out, the whole audience was shocked.
Not only the four sword cultivators who had worked together to hunt the tiger, but also those who were originally watching from the sidelines, those in the bamboo forest, and those who had just arrived because they were startled by the evil spirit.
Almost everyone turned their eyes to the man in black in an instant, their eyes full of vigilance.
Someone gnashed his teeth and said, "So it's the evil beast from the Demon Cult!"
Zhu Changyang was also very surprised.
As an outsider, he did not have a deep understanding of Piaomiao Continent, but he had heard of the name Yin Kanwei.
Among the nine domains and eighteen continents, there are two domains inhabited by demon cultivators, located at the east and west ends, and are called the Eastern Demon Domain and the Western Demon Domain by people in other continents.
Yin Kanwei is the guardian of the Sujiao, the largest sect in the Western Demon Realm, and is also one of the most famous figures in the Western Demon Realm.
The demonic cultivators and the orthodox people have always been at odds with each other. For thousands of years, the two sides have been at loggerheads with each other, fighting and arguing constantly, with each side always winning and losing, and eventually a stalemate was reached.
Normally, the two sides would never interact unless it was necessary. If they did meet occasionally, they would be suspicious of each other and eventually go to war.
As a high-ranking member of the Demonic Cult, Yin Kanwei is also the number one enemy of the upright cultivators.
The secret realm is a dangerous place. There is a demon tiger in front, and suddenly they encounter the famous demon leader of the Demon Cult. Those sword cultivators are naturally very nervous and raise their swords to be alert.
Yin Kanwei frowned.
Under normal circumstances, he would not take these low-level sword cultivators seriously, but at this moment his cultivation was suppressed by the Solitary Peng sword intent, making it extremely difficult for him to display his skills. Moreover, the sudden attack from the demon tiger just now had caused him considerable injuries.
There are thousands of sword cultivators in the secret realm. If they attack at once, it will be difficult for him to deal with them.
His mind raced and he made a decision in an instant.
Zhu Changyang was watching the battle situation nervously when suddenly his vision went dark and he could not see anything.
He was startled and looked up, only to see a thick darkness without any stars or moon. If he had not been standing on the ground, he would have hardly been able to tell up, down, left, or right.
"Oh no, it's the devil's evil magic!"
"Everyone be careful!"
The sword cultivators all around were immediately thrown into chaos, with noises rising up everywhere. They hurriedly used their cultivation to activate their swords or summoned their magic weapons, trying to create some light.
However, their cultivation was no match for the guardian of the Demon Sect. The clanging of swords did not work at all.
Not only did they fail to find Yin Kanwei's location, but they also alarmed the demon tiger.
Then a tiger roared, and a scream came from the darkness: "Ah—"
The sound was heart-wrenching and extremely miserable.
Someone recognized the screaming voice as his friend, and was very anxious, shouting, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Wait, I'll come and save you—Ah! Where are you—"
"My fellow Taoists, is there any way to take a photo of—"
"Is there any spiritual fire? What about the sword light?"
"I can't activate anything. My cultivation is suppressed by Yin Kanwei—"
At the same time, the live broadcast room was also filled with barrages.
From the appearance of the demon tiger, the four sword cultivators formed a formation, Yin Kanwei descended from the sky, to the demon tiger breaking through the ice crystals and exploding.
The live broadcast room has been in a highly tense state.
This is the most thrilling scene since the opening of the [Piaomiao Continent] live broadcast room.
At one point, everyone was so nervous that they forgot to post comments, for fear of missing a shot.
It was not until Yin Kanwei's identity was exposed that the live broadcast screen suddenly fell into darkness, and then screams were heard, and the barrage of comments finally exploded again.
[Ahhhhhhhh!!! What happened? I’m so nervous! ]
[I’m drunk! That big brother in black turned out to be a demon cultivator! Is he going to start a killing spree?]
[Then it's over. Look at these sword cultivators. They can't even perform the Light of Life Technique. If they fight, they won't be able to fill the gaps between the teeth of the demon brother! ! ]
[Wait, look, there is light!!]
[Wow!!! Who is so awesome!]
[Awesome, he can actually surpass the big devil in terms of cultivation. Finally, there is someone who can fight! ! ]
Suddenly, a white light flashed in the dark live broadcast screen, and a white light suddenly lit up.
The sword cultivators who were in a mess were even more shocked and looked towards the light source.
The white light was not actually very bright, but in the darkness it was as dazzling as a spotlight on the stage.
Someone exclaimed: "What kind of magic weapon is this!"
"Who is this fellow Taoist who can suppress Yin Kanwei's cultivation? He is too strong!"
"What's even better is that I didn't even feel any cultivation at all. This means I've reached the realm where cultivation is invisible!"
"Great! With such a strong ally, there's no need to worry about not being able to defeat Yin Kanwei!"
Zhu Changyang, who had just taken out a flashlight and turned it on, said: “… … … …”
The hope of the entire secret realm was placed on him unexpectedly... The hand holding the flashlight trembled slightly.
I'm sorry, the reason why you didn't feel my cultivation is because I really didn't use any cultivation.
Jun Shu next to him was also stunned. He lowered his eyes and glanced at him, and couldn't help but sneer.
This thick black color is the enchanted energy created by Yin Kanwei's cultivation, which has an extremely strong suppression effect on cultivation.
Most of those who came to the Gupeng Secret Realm to search for treasure this time were beginner sword practitioners who had not yet joined the mountain gate. Their cultivation was far inferior to Yin Kanwei, so naturally they could not use spells to break the spell.
Zhu Changyang's flashlight is not a magic weapon. It does not require any cultivation to activate it, so it is naturally not suppressed by cultivation.
Studio:
[Shit! I forgot we even have this thing...]
[I naively thought that it was some big hand that created the glowing magic…]
[It turns out that science can control magic]
[Devil Brother: I was careless! ]
