The Lord who use immortals as food

In the quiet and vast heart of the mountain, Wudong stared straight at the eyes in front of him: "People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Master Xiao, what are you doing for this?"

Xiao Tingshu remained silent.

"Pei Ye told me that Xi Tianji finally said that he had never betrayed Kongtong." Wudong said slowly, "It is very easy to deceive a young man who has been brought up since childhood, and it is impossible for you to tell him that the master is helping Huan "The dead building digs the roots of Kongtong, so Master Xiao deceived him, right?"

"."

"You didn't." Wudong coldly let go of his hand, letting the head on his hand fall weakly again.

"I tried my best to get to know you on the way to Kongtong, Master Xiao." Wudong stood up, "You are cold and decisive, and you are hidden deep in the city. You clearly saw that two generations of the masters of Kongtong lived in seclusion one after another, and the sect unexpectedly It is still improving, thanks to your ten years of leadership - so the four peak leaders also trust you. "

"But there is a record in Immortal Terrace. Seventeen years ago, Master Xiao did something wrong that few people know about."

"You got started late. Before you were fifteen, you were involved in the martial arts world and made friends with a ranger of similar age. Later, you entered Kongtong. It wasn't until eight years later that you met again by chance in Shaolong City. At that time, he was already a knight. A well-known thief killed five government servants and obtained a sword from the East China Sea. "

"You actually hid him among the troops in Kongtong for four full days. After he escaped from the city, a prostitute with whom you were in love wanted to report him to the officials, but you actually turned your sword and killed her." Wudong looked at him, " Of course, we later captured and killed that person, but it’s a pity that Kongtong Gaotu’s crime of murder can only be dealt with by your own family. How many months of confinement? "

Xiao Tingshu raised his eyes and looked at him for the first time, but only once.

"This is Master Xiao, who is admired by everyone. He has a cool face and values ​​​​love and justice. He has little thoughts of good and evil, and is indifferent to human life. If someone wants to make profits through evil deeds, it will not be difficult for you to be convinced."

"."

"You treat your disciple like a son, so you will not lie to him to die. Since he believes that he did not betray Kongtong, then this confidence must come from you." Wudong looked at him indifferently, "Then... you did not betray Kongtong, but you did this Who does your confidence come from in this matter?”

Shi Shaosheng had not spoken for a long time, and now he said in a low voice: "You destroyed the formation because you didn't want the sect master to say his name?"

Wudong stroked the hilt of his sword: "Ji Changyun?"

Xiao Tingshu snorted slightly.

Shi Shaosheng shook his head: "No. Master Ji is a good teacher. A long time ago, Junior Brother Bai regarded him as close as a father. But when Junior Brother Xiao entered the school, Master Ji was obsessed with Jianzang and almost never paid attention to it. After the incident that He Jian mentioned just now happened, his uncle insisted on expelling him from Kongtong. At that time, his uncle Ji and his junior brother Bai were on the verge of breaking up, and they almost started fighting because of this. "

"Since then, the friendship between Junior Brother Xiao and Uncle Ji has been completely gone."

"Who else could it be?" Wudong looked at him, "Now that Master Xiao has locked us and your senior brother here, and only the Huanshui Building is left outside, can we really rest assured?"

"That's not right." Shi Shaosheng suddenly said in shock.

"What?"

"There is one more person in our door."

"."

"Is there any unsheathed sword?"

A cool female voice suddenly inserted into the silence. Wudong even thought it was a metaphor for a moment, but when he turned to look at the woman, he realized that what she said seriously was the literal meaning.

Ming Qitian looked at Shi Shaosheng: "Are there any other unsheathed swords here at your gate?"

"There are no swords in the heart of the mountain, they are all in the stream outside the mountain." Shi Shaosheng was slightly confused, "What is the use of the sword master?"

Ming Qitian raised her head and looked at the mountain: "This formation is borrowed from the Mountain and Water Sword Formation. Ten thousand swords are one and the same. They are one of them and cannot be broken by themselves. But there is still one shortcoming in the Sword Belly Mountain itself."

Shi Shaosheng suddenly opened his eyes: "Yes, [Mountain Jiazi] was built by the sages who refined the mountain for decades. How could it be achieved in Jianbelly Mountain in ten years? They used the already-made Jianbelly Mountain Formation to support!”

Ming Qitian continued calmly: "We are in the center of the [Calling Sword Chapter] formation. When the sword is drawn out, the sword will resonate with it and blend into it, so it cannot break itself. But if there is still a sword that has not been unsheathed, I can send one more person out."

Shi Shaosheng was stunned: "Sword Master said that this formation can be broken?"

"It's just a matter of prying open the gap. Only one sword can be used for one person." Ming Qitian said, "All five of our swords have been 'recognized' by it. If there are no other swords, I will only use [Jade Tiger] to send Wuhe out for inspection." ”

Wudong also didn't expect such a section at all, and was slightly startled for a moment: "Wait a moment, Sword Master."

Ming Qitian paused slightly.

Wudong paused for a moment: "I will pay you [Jade Tiger], and you can go out on your own and come and go freely."

Yes, of course He Jian is more aware of the direction of the case, and can definitely see their purpose of trapping everyone. Huansilou has become more and more obvious. As long as the news is spread and the forces are coordinated, they can completely stop that. A conspiracy without knowing its content.

But sending stronger power out of this formation, or a better choice, if the woman leaves here, the entire Kongtong and the entire Huanshi Tower will be unmatched. No matter what Huansilou wanted to do outside, he couldn't succeed under the woman's sword.

but.

Wudong looked into the woman's calm eyes and suddenly understood what she meant.

——What is the purpose of this canopy that isolates the inside and outside?

The Jianbelly Mountain Formation, this is the place where Huansi Tower has been operating for twenty years. No matter what their final plan is, they will inevitably settle here.

Now Xiao Tingshu has activated [Mountain Jiazi] without any concealment, and the coming storm can already be heard and seen. But is this wind and rain blowing outside? Or is it scraped inside?

A woman can set herself free, but if she wants to come back after going out, that's another matter.

At that time, Wudong and the four peak masters faced the mountainside that didn't know how it would change, and they might all be reduced to dust and smoke.

Don't think too much. As for a woman, it is impossible for her to leave alone at the risk of others. It was the same in Bowang, and it was the same in Kongtong.

"Please," the woman said calmly, "Hejian remembers to tell Pei Ye that I can't leave for the time being. Please don't leave within ten miles of me."

".good."

"Sword Tao" originated from this place, the condensation of the word "Sword Tao" itself. When it appears among thousands of sword senses, the natural and flawless appearance has never been so clear. What is surprising is that those sword senses actually It also formed an almost leak-free circle, wrapping "Sword Tao" inside.

But when the two circles really fit together, a gap was clearly revealed. All the techniques of "Sword Tao" suddenly merged into one sword, and it penetrated the slit calmly.

The moment the mysterious energy from the outside world penetrated, Wudong jumped up with the [Jade Tiger], pierced the sky with a sword, and burst out of the mountain.

The curtain closed again, and now there was no longer a pole to raise it. Ming Qitian looked at this scene and slowly retracted her fingers, frowning slightly, as if she suddenly realized something.

——————

Sutra collection building.

Pei Ye has walked carefully through the corridors of the entire building.

He lowered his head and rubbed the pendant in his hand. The jade had been worn for a long time, and the oil had appeared. The delicate blue bird on the branch was lifelike, and it was as moist as if it would melt. You can imagine the way the man carefully carved each stroke and the woman after taking it. The mood of not being able to put it down.

But it has been dead for seven years, and now it is silent. The candle in its hand has been extinguished, and everything is lifeless.

The man's sword that nearly pierced their veil finally broke and sank into the sand, completely lost in time.

Pei Ye sighed softly, and there was no one in the empty building to discuss. Since Zhang Meiqing did not come to the Sutra Library, there must be other people to entrust her to. But in fact, the young man has also verified that in Kongtong, the man does not have any friends who have sufficient status and are extremely trustworthy.

The investigation was at a deadlock for a moment, and Pei Ye turned around, but suddenly there were a few flapping sounds outside the window. The next moment, the window paper was broken, and a smooth green shadow swept in.

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment - [Liu Feng].

The letter that Hejian sent to him when he was in Jinyuzhai was supposed to arrive early yesterday morning, but now it arrived several hours later than he himself did.

This light and agile bird landed on his finger skillfully, with its wings intact and no scars on its body, just a little depressed. Just as Wudong guessed, he was trapped by Kongtong's formation.

Pei Ye came back to his senses and immediately went to untie the mailbox on his leg, unfolded the paper and opened his eyes. Sure enough, he recorded what the old man and Mr. Sui were doing in Jinyu Zhai, and told him that Xinpo might be in the cave. And before that. The complaints of the elderly are generally the same.

Wrapped in the deepest part was an extremely old piece of paper, which the old man had never mentioned before. Just when Pei Ye felt that the shape looked familiar, a pleasant cry suddenly came from his hand.

It was so sweet that it completely stunned Pei Ye. He looked down at the soul bird, never knowing that it could make such a sound.

But his eyes suddenly focused on where he landed. The soul bird's brows were staring at his hand, and its beak was tightly closed.

Birdsong came from the palm of his hand, as soft as a stream, as graceful as a flute. Pei Ye had never thought that the bird's song could be arranged so beautifully. He moved his eyes in surprise, and the exquisite blue bird pendant was singing and flowing. syllables, the soul bird tilted its head and stared at it, as if trying to distinguish its species.

——"Later, he made me a small magic weapon that would chirp when I received a letter from him. This is the one, and it sounds quite nice."

"But then I stopped hearing it."

Now, seven years later, in the quiet and empty ancient building, the bluebird once again sang a sweet and cheerful note, without any sluggishness or unfamiliarity, and as light and lively as before.

Pei Ye turned over the note. The ink mark on it is old and it says: "The lotus heart has nine leaves, a sword is hidden in the hanging tassel, and there are sixteen flying strands."

"."

Pei Ye's heart clenched tightly for a moment, and he froze in place.

After a long while, he let out a breath and immediately turned around and came to the catalog to compare.

Of course Pei Ye recognized this secret line. Whoever puts the book in the Sutra Tower's collection of notes will get the corresponding one for access and certification.

He still remembered the short note "One leaf of lotus heart, nine birds under the pine, twelve feathers". "Lianxin" is the name of the peak, which means [Lianxin Pavilion], and "one leaf" is the law enforcement officer directly under [Lianxin Pavilion]. Hall.

So what is "Nine Leaves"?

Pei Ye followed the picture and suddenly his fingers paused. He was a little surprised to find that the "Nine Leaves" were the Buddhist Scripture Tower itself.

Its location is actually on the highest floor.

"."

Which attic is this? When he just walked through it, the map did not indicate the so-called "Nine Leaves" at all.

Did Zhang Meiqing hide the case files there?

In any case, now that he had received the guidance, Pei Ye immediately jumped up, let go of the soul bird, and the young man rolled up to the roof like a gust of wind.

There really is an old attic.

It's right at the end of the deep corridor. If you hadn't come here specifically to find it, you would never have thought there was such a room.

Pei Ye stepped onto the corridor, and his steps immediately stopped—it was not ordinary wood under his feet, but steel embedded underneath.

Looking around this seemingly ordinary corridor again, the young man spread his hands, and a beautiful blue flame flew forward silently. Where it was reflected, dense formations appeared.

But it seems to be very old.

Pei Ye was silent for a moment, then pressed his sword and stepped onto the corridor. Nothing happened. Everything seemed to have been abandoned. When he came to the end, Pei Ye gently opened the door, and a tall study hall opened in front of him.

There are rows of huge solid wood bookshelves, and most of them are empty. There is only one bookshelf close to the table that is full of traces of use. There are stacks of books of different sizes crowded together, and there are countless manuscript papers for calculations and sketches.

Pei Ye walked up and rolled his eyes, both of which were related to the way of array weapons.

He raised his head and suddenly saw three characters painted in silver with iron hooks on the dimly shadowed main wall behind the bookshelf.

【Hidden Sword Pavilion】

So in an instant, Pei Ye finally knew where this place was.

[Kongtong Sword Hidden] The place where the sword was stored twenty years ago, where all generations of Dasi Mountain buried their heads in the past, diligently studying the impossible-to-reach natural chasms.

It's already deserted here.

Pei Ye knew where the swords were hidden, and Ji Changyun lived in seclusion in the mountains and took them away.

And the "Kongtong Sword Collection" has always been organized by [Dasi Mountain] in the previous generation. Why is it all handed over to Ji Changyun this generation?

Pei Ye suddenly felt chilled. Unless this generation [Da Si Shan] didn't want to study Jian Zang, what he wanted was Bai Tianqu's method.

So, when Zhang Meiqing was studying the art of array weapons, how many times did she come to the ancient scripture library to look for those rare books?

For him, is this senior buried in the ancient building trustworthy enough? !

He walked into this attic seven years ago, told this [Da Si Shan] everything, and solemnly placed the case files here, leaving them under the personal care of this senior.

Then he was framed and killed in Jinyu Zhai, and these case files never saw the light of day again.

Pei Ye looked down and saw that the bookshelf in front of him was the wall of "Cui Ying". It looks very, very new and appears to be used frequently.

On the table next to me, the remaining ink in the inkstone was still flowing, very fresh.
