The Lord who use immortals as food

"."

Pei Ye looked at the woman at the entrance of the cave in a daze. They were not too close. She seemed to melt into the vast mountain rain, while he disappeared into the stone cave that was isolated from everything.

But it was in this perspective from darkness to light that he suddenly realized why the woman kept looking outside the rain curtain.

Because it turns out to be really beautiful.

——"High wind and drizzle, wide scenery, this place is very good."

When you are in a dense forest, the wet and muddy rain will only make you annoying; but if you stand on the top of a mountain, you will look embarrassed and your body and bones will be cold.

Only in such a cliff.

Sitting in the dark cave and looking out, the stone walls extending to the end are like forming a large window, looking into another vast and beautiful world.

The woman is sitting in the corner of the window, and her back has become part of the picture.

And it was at this moment when the boy truly felt this tranquility that the woman's words truly revealed something from his trembling heart, and a feeling of déjà vu suddenly emerged.

The heart is pulled up and away, separated from the current emotions, as if there is someone somewhere waiting for him to meet.

He couldn't remember the name, couldn't remember the face, and he didn't know where he was. Only this feeling was so strong. The young man looked at the woman's figure intently, and something unknown was about to break out of the ground. His expression was almost blank. helpless.

The woman calmly repeated her previous question: "Do you want to learn to sword now?"

Then everything returned to the current situation. Pei Ye was stunned for a while and said truthfully: "I want to be quiet first, Miss Ming."

Ming Qitian nodded, but her eyes still fell on him: "You don't have any luggage with you, do you?"

Pei Ye was stunned: "No, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." The woman bent her legs and turned back, "I'm a little hungry."

"." Pei Ye remembered with astonishment that the woman usually only ate very small amounts of food sporadically, but now that her ice and snow body was broken, there was indeed almost nothing in her belly.

"Then I'll go look for it." Pei Ye stood up in a hurry, supporting the wall.

This was the fourth quarter of an hour since they entered the cliff cave. The mountains were silent. Under the fastest circumstances, Sima and Yi Duanzhi might arrive at the cliff cave in the next moment.

Kongtong, mountain gate.

"No need to start the formation!" The man was in his thirties, brown-faced and slightly fat, wearing a crane suit. He pressed his sword and went straight in. Behind him were more than fifty people, most of whom were elite troops from the government. A few of them wore soft clothes and carried swords. It's Xianrentai inspection.

The mountain array was not opened. Xiao Changgong walked in, pressed his sword and frowned: "We have received a letter of reinforcement from Lord Sui. Where is your Lord now?"

Gan Zifeng stared blankly, the blood stains on his body had not disappeared, but his eyebrows furrowed deeper: "Xiao Hejian, are you the only three Xuanmen?"

Xiao Changgong frowned: "Why not? Lord Ji Shan is still here, and Commander Gao has also been in [Ye Que] for many years."

He moved his hand back, and the white-bearded and cold-faced general opened his eyes - Gao Feigong is indeed the highest-ranking commander that Fucheng can send out, and he is a famous spear master from Shaolong and Xilong. .

Gan Zifeng, whose blood was still wet on the sword blade, almost had a nameless anger emerging from his heart. The most unbearable thing in the exhausting and desperate fight was this sudden stupidity and arrogance - fuck you, Gao Is it possible to withstand ten moves of Master Shuzu's sword without attacking? !

If my uncle is enough to solve this problem, why the hell do I need you to do it? !

But he knew that this was the result of a sudden and unexpected explosion of information - when Mr. Sui delivered the letter, it was obvious that the news of the death of the sect leader had not yet spread, and [Sima] and Yi Duanzhi had not suddenly appeared in Jianfu Mountain.

Gan Zifeng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Master Zhang? There haven't been any major cases recently? Mr. Sui is here, how come he doesn't come?!"

At the end of his words, the old man still couldn't control his tone. Xiao Tingshu was crippled, Bai Tianqu died, and the Lord of Five Peaks fell. Kongtong was in chaos, but the people in front of him didn't even realize what was happening!

[Prison Fox] Zhang Xiaozhu, one of the "Four Swordsmen of Beiya" twenty years ago, is now ranked forty-three on the crane list - without such strong support, how can we talk about stabilizing the situation!

"Master Zhang has other important matters." Xiao Changgong glanced at him, "If Elder Gan cannot properly hand over the situation, just ask someone else to take over."

An old voice sounded from behind Gan Zifeng: "Master Zhang, what's important?"

Xiao Changgong raised his eyes and saw that the person coming with the sword was none other than Ji Changyun. The old man's blood-stained robe had not yet been changed. He was severely injured and his eyebrows were as sharp as a sword.

Xiao Changgong bowed his hands and said, "Master Ji Shan. We don't know either."

He hesitated and said: "The Taiwan Master was in Taichung when he received the letter, but Mr. Sui's letter seemed to be in two copies. After receiving the letter, the Taiwan Master did not go with us - By the way, Mr. Sui, where is Mr. Sui? "

"." Ji Changyun lowered his eyebrows, stroked the hilt of the sword with his withered hand, raised his eyes in silence for a moment and said, "Master Sui fought with the villains before, but there is no news yet. It may be more serious than bad."

Xiao Changgong opened his eyes in shock: "How could that happen?!"

But Ji Changyun didn't answer anymore, turned around and left with his sword without saying a word.

Gan Zifeng took a deep breath and said coldly: "Kongtong is investigating the peaks, and Xiao Hejian went to the law enforcement hall to learn about the case."

Turn around and leave.

Xiao Changgong looked at the people's leaving figures, then turned to look in the direction where Ji Changyun was leaving.

The Hejian's expression became very peaceful, and he casually tore off a blade of grass and held it in his mouth: "Xunyuan?"

"exist."

"Take people to the law enforcement hall. We will investigate what they say."

—————

Cold rain on Cangshan Mountain.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while. He had not considered this need for a while. After a moment, he remembered that it was autumn now and he should be able to pick a few fruits from the forest.

But when he walked out, he suddenly lowered his head and stopped when he saw the dead vines on the ground.

Yes, isn't this Luotao?

Pei Ye remembered that this kind of fruit vine of Xincang was not rare. It withered once a year. The vine was hard. As long as part of it was exposed to sunlight, a kind of crisp and sweet round fruit would grow on the ground near the root.

There must be no one picking in this cliff cave.

Pei Ye turned inside, smiled at the woman's slightly surprised eyes, and disappeared directly into the darkness leading to the depths.

It was not as deep as imagined. Pei Ye found a few nearby vines, but unfortunately they were too close to the ground and the fruits were eaten by insects and ants. He walked more than ten feet inside before he saw a complete one. It is actually difficult for the water to spread to the sunlight at the entrance of the cave, but it still stubbornly produces fruits. Two round and lovely white fruits hang on it, which are the most crisp and sweet ones. Pei Ye reached out to pick it, but his ears suddenly moved. It was the sound of clear water. From the deeper part of the cave, the sound was "flowing" rather than "falling", so gentle that it could not be heard again a little further away. Yes, if there is no water source, how can there be so many dead vines. Chihuo flew forward, and Pei Ye did not walk far before a clear and transparent pool appeared in front of him. However, it was the size of a small courtyard, and the deepest part was only about ten feet. The stone surface, white sand, and gravel at the bottom of the pool were extremely clear. A mountain spring seeped out from the stone wall and flowed into the pool, but no one knew where the opening was - perhaps in a place that could not be seen in this mountain, there would be a small spring flowing out from the cracks in the rocks. No matter what the situation, it is always good to have such a water source. Pei Ye squatted down, washed the two fruits, washed off the blood on his arms and head, and finally leaned over to drink.

When he was about to look up, he suddenly fixed his eyes - he saw that under the shining of the Chihuo, there were actually several clean white fish swimming in the pool. There were about seven or eight of them, and the water was cold and cold. They were like spirits in life and death.

"."

This was really a scene he had never seen before. He only heard the adults who often went to the mountains chatting about it. They said that there was a kind of mountain fish born in cold springs. It was not fishy or dirty. It was an extremely rare delicacy. It was very difficult to transport it out of the mountains alive. The price offered outside for a forearm-long fish could build a small courtyard.

Pei Ye really didn't expect to suddenly see this thing here. He didn't know whether it should be considered a mountain delicacy or a river delicacy. He lowered his head and looked at it on the water. It was indeed the first time he saw this kind of fish. It was slender and beautiful, with a slightly wide forehead, two eyes embedded on both sides, and a little stupid.

Under the illumination of the Chihuo, the fish in front of him also turned sideways for the first time, staring blankly at the strange creature on the water.

The man and the fish looked at each other quietly. Pei Ye stretched out his hand to measure its length, quite satisfied, and pursed his lips and said, "It seems that you and I are quite destined."

He reached down and caught it before the water could react.

The white fish was stunned in his hand, and its cheeks opened and closed several times without absorbing water. After a pause, it suddenly began to twist and swing its tail, and cold water droplets splashed on its cheeks.

The young man felt the full power in his hand, and suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of bright white teeth.

"Miss Ming, look." Pei Ye walked out from the depths of the cave and raised the mountain delicacy in his hand to her.

Ming Qitian turned his head and opened his clear eyes: "How did you get this?"

"I'm good at fishing."

"."

"This fish is said to be delicious." Pei Ye handed her two fruits with water droplets on them, "Let me deal with it."

"Is there a pool of water inside?"

"No, it grows on the tree."

However, the woman was obviously thinking about something else, and her light eyes fell on Pei Ye's head and face: "You have become much cleaner."

"Hmm?"

Ming Qitian stood up and walked deep into the cave, whispering: "You need to lend me two fires. I'll go take a bath."

"Ah?"

Pei Ye sat down at the edge of the cave, removed the head and tail of the fish with Shanyu, scraped the scales and bones, and cut off two pieces of fresh half-body. Then he placed the reluctant Liuli horizontally on his side. This sword is always extremely pure, and Pei Ye piled the sliced ​​fish meat on it one by one.

He looked at the distant Cangshan Mountain in the rain and fog, washed the bloody Shanyu under the water curtain, and the feeling of sitting quietly holding the sword surged up again.

The calmer the mind becomes, the more vivid the feeling becomes.

——"When you can see yourself clearly, I won't let you fall. You have to believe in [Bright Mirror]. "

The woman is indeed the best mirror in the world. If it weren't for her eyes, he didn't know when he could see himself or never have this opportunity.

However, the face of the person in the mirror was still hazy, and the boy was still hesitant. Is that right, Pei Ye, are you really such a person?

Can you really become such a person?

Holding the sword, you always want to win. Facing everything as clearly and calmly as the woman. That's not what you want to be.

What do you want to be like?

The boy leaned against the edge of the cave, quietly looking at the distant mountains, until footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Pei Ye turned around and Ming Qitian had walked out of the darkness.

She had really taken a bath, and her whole body seemed to be several shades clearer. Her clear, wet black hair was spread out, and she had changed into clean white clothes - but she obviously didn't bring any new boots. Carrying the shoes and socks in his hands and putting them aside, he came barefoot to the other side of Liuli and sat down quietly.

Pei Ye was afraid that her shoes and socks would get wet, so she sat cross-legged with her legs folded, so she just let her calves hang down from the edge of the cliff.

New rain in an empty mountain, new rain in an empty mountain. Pei Ye didn't know where he had read this word, but it just jumped out of his head. The woman is often difficult to look away from. In the first few quarters of an hour, she seemed to have fallen into the mortal world, and now she is a fairy who has lived in the moon palace for a long time.

But Pei Ye's mind was not on this this time. He looked at the woman blankly for a while, but he felt that he had not been so quiet for a long time.

She sat here relaxedly, as if this was indeed not a desperate situation where she could die every second. Nothing about finding food or bathing was suitable.

The fish fillet was thinly attached to the glass. Ming Qitian stretched out her fingers and pushed it into a roll, then put it into her mouth and chewed it.

"Is it delicious?" Pei Ye looked at her expectantly.

The woman nodded with some satisfaction.

Clean, tender, and firm. These three characteristics are very distinct. The woman really hasn’t eaten much, but this kind of cold fish is indeed enough to be ranked at the top.

"We don't have any fire, but I heard that some people like to eat it this way." Pei Ye said, "But you have to dip it in some ginger vinegar or something."

Ming Qitian picked up another piece, swallowed it and said, "The Book of Rites says: 'Onions are used in spring and mustard is used in autumn.'"

"Yeah, but raw meat is not very clean. It is said that after eating it, sometimes bugs will appear."

"Those who are cultivating, with true mystical presence, can enjoy delicious food in peace."

"That's true." Pei Ye nodded, raised his head, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, but suddenly remembered, "But Miss Ming, it's not like you don't have any cultivation now - you may have diarrhea if you don't make it happen."

The woman lowered her eyes and put a piece of it into her lips, but did not hear it.

After a while, when the food was gone, Liuli couldn't wait to rush out and wash her body in the rain.

Pei Ye leaned on the stone wall beside the cave, with one leg hanging down and the other bent, looking at the scene with a smile.

Holding [Shan Yu] in front of him, he suddenly understood everything the woman said - yes, everyone can be a mirror.

Indeed, he will never be as indifferent as a woman. He will never accept defeat and will always look forward to victory. But, they are still the same.

Death is nothing but death.

Even in the danger of death, even in the desperate situation of repeated failures. As long as there is a sword, you can talk about swords; since there are fish, you can eat fish.

Because they have never lived up to their own lives, they are not confused about victory, defeat, life and death.

However, the woman will calmly say "that's nothing", and he will always smile and use his last breath to chase victory.

He suddenly knew what he was growing into and finally saw the person he was waiting to meet in the mirror.

The young man lowered his eyes and looked at the smooth sword surface of [Shan Yu]. In a daze, a pair of long, narrow and sharp bright eyes looked over coldly, but seemed to be smiling.

This smile is really charming. There must not be many people who could have this smile eighteen years ago.

The next moment, this charming blood dripping with blood turned into an ugly withered ghost, and everything disappeared in an instant. But the rain-stained sword body of Shan Yu was clear and translucent, as if carved from fine and sharp ice jade.

This was the tenth quarter of an hour after they entered the cliff cave. Sima and Yi Duanzhi arrived at Changxi, ten miles away.

The woman and the boy were still unable to resist.

And there is still a moment before the "ice and snow body" is about to complete its next cycle.
