The Lord who use immortals as food

Chapter 326 Quiet Night Talk



Deep in the high mountains, it is raining and foggy at night, and the autumn air echoes in the world.

The sound of rain is both noisy and silent. There is no noise for hundreds of miles.

Suddenly, a bright ray of light rose from between the wet grass and dark trees, almost reaching the ceiling. In an instant, the fluorescence dissipated, and two figures emerged from it.

The black robe was torn, and heavy blood fell down with the raindrops, forming a small stream of pale pink.

The surrounding zhenqi was shaking, and several formations were penetrated into his body, and the breath slowly calmed down.

The actor put his hand on the cracked play surface, clicked it twice, pinched it and took it off.

Meng Li looked at this scene coldly.

The actor opened his hood, his gray hair had already been wetted by the rain, and a few streaks of blood were scattered on it.

The actor turned his old and white face and looked at the young man quietly.

"It's our first time meeting you." The actor said with a hoarse voice, not hiding his weakness, "Your master died a worthy death, so why bother yourself with grief and anger."

Meng Li's body was still unable to move, he just stared at him with lowered eyebrows, and said in a low voice as if he was swallowing blood: "Sooner or later I will kill your lackey."

"What's the difference between what you want to do and what I do?" The actor gently wiped away the blood on the blade and looked up at Yu, "It's just that you are lucky and have better talent."

"It's true," he sighed softly, like an old cicada moaning deep in the tree, "it only takes one generation to learn. What a twist of fate."

Meng Li only looked at him with a pair of cruel and cold eyes.

Then the indifferent coldness returned to the actor's face, and the emotion just now seemed to be just an illusion.

"It's a pity that I am saving your life now. Once I die, you will really die." He walked deeper, and the young man followed behind him uncontrollably.

Meng Li sneered: "I know how a running dog can have no master."

The actor walked in front, stepping on the piled-up rotten dead leaves: "Leaning on the building to see the distance, leaning on the tree to enjoy the shade, this has been true since ancient times. Born in a small sect, there is no way to look at it. When facing this thing, don't ask outside, and still return it." What can you do?—Why did you join the Sun Swallowing Society?"

"I don't want to be treated like a dog." Meng Li said coldly.

The actor's mood didn't fluctuate very much: "That's why I said you were lucky."

They walked straight into the depths of the mountain. Far away and faintly high, the iron towers on the Chongshan Mountain showed some vague shadows, as if hanging in the sky.

————

It was getting dark, and insects began to chirp on both sides of the road.

Pei Ye stopped his horse and glanced at the sky. The gray-blue sky was dotted with faint stars. The dim moon hung in the corner of the sky, and the setting sun had only an orange line left.

Pei Ye seemed to be a little clearer and looked back at the woman who was also reining in her horse.

"Miss Ming——" As soon as he opened his mouth, the young man was surprised to feel the pain in his throat. He coughed twice and still said in a low voice, "Miss Ming, it's not easy to run horses at night, but there is a small town ahead twenty miles away. , should we stop here, or go over and rest?"

"Yiyi."

Pei Ye looked from a distance. There should not be many travelers in the area at this time, but the commotion in the inn inexplicably got into his ears. The young man lowered his eyebrows and said mutely: "I think it's better to be quiet."

"Then stay here."

The two dismounted, and Pei Ye collected firewood and lit a bonfire. The woman sat on the ground holding Yu Fei's Sword Sutra, and the firelight spread a layer of orange gauze on her body.

"The front is Xiangzhou, and then eighty miles south, we will enter the 'Da Kongtong'." Tying the two horses to one side, Peiye sat down, lowered his head and unfolded a map, "It will be more difficult to walk on the mountain road. Let's go there. Bypassing Tuoyun Peak and walking through Bird Valley, we will arrive at the gate of Kongtong Mountain about tomorrow evening or the morning after tomorrow."

Ming Qitian glanced sideways: "Okay."

Pei Ye closed the scroll and put it away.

"How far have you learned this sword? Don't you know where to go?"

"Yes, Miss Ming." Pei Ye whispered, "The inheritance of Jade Fei Mountain is cut off, and no one can teach this sword now. I actually think I am on the right track, but I am not sure."

"In addition," the young man continued, "the theory of the Jade Fei Sword says that there should be four extremes among the fourteen swords of the two veins, which are all derived from the penetration and fusion of the corresponding sword moves in the two veins. I saw one style, which is [ Breaking the Earth] and [Walking in the Water to Pick Off Scales] form a line of [Holding the New Corpse], and you haven’t seen what’s behind yet.”

Ming Qitian nodded slowly, and after being quiet for a while, he said softly: "The sword theory of Yu Fei is actually very clear. It should be included in the "Introduction"

The woman handed the book on her lap to him, tilted her head and looked at him,

Pei Ye was startled for a moment: "The chapter of Yin and Yang."

Ming Qitian nodded: "Which category is it?"

"Advance and retreat movement?"

"Yingxu." The woman smiled peacefully, "We need to distinguish the difference between the idea of ​​using a sword and the theory of sword writing. 'Yingxu' is a more orthodox sword theory with a higher limit. It is through this philosophy that can be deepened, Only this sword can achieve the meaning of [Fei Yuxian] you mentioned."

The woman gently turned over the sword scripture and said to the young man: "This sword has a distinct style and no flaws, which shows that firstly, the foundation of the sword was solid when it was created, and secondly, it was polished and rounded during the inheritance. This kind of sword is generally only used in It can only be seen in orthodox sword sects that are more than two hundred years old, so it is rare - it has three strengths, which are also the tip of its blade, do you know which three they are?"

"Quick, Qiao Qiang."

"Yes, casting such three qualities into one sword is the so-called 'orthodox'. Only this kind of thoughtful but not mediocre sword can be the anchor of the sword sect." Ming Qitian said softly, "To climb to the level of [Feiyu Immortal] is actually on these three sharp blades."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment, slightly enlightened.

Shan Yu hung on the horse, and Ming Qitian handed his sword to him: "I will watch you perform the whole set of "Jade Fei", and then use [Holding the New Corpse]."

Pei Ye stood up as he was told, and went through all the parts of a set of swords from beginning to end, and finally connected with a light sword as fast as light.

Ming Qitian nodded: "You have made a lot of progress with the sword now - you see, this move is the most [fast], it is 'Ying'. For this kind of orthodox sword, its next step can be guessed at a glance. You know, it should be."

"Void."

"Yes, 'qiao' is used as 'virtual', so for the second step, you have to go up to the virtual style." Ming Qitian looked at him with bright eyes, "But I haven't learned this sword, so I can't point it directly to him. you."

Pei Ye nodded slowly, already understanding: "It's [Unmoving Dangerous Wind] and [Shelling]."

Ming Qitian smiled slightly and said "Yeah".

Looking at him: "Then you should have an idea of ​​the third step?"

"The swords of 'Ying' are strong. It should be [Duan Ye Huilan] and [Qing Ming]."

"Hmm." Ming Qitian lowered her head and turned over the Sword Scripture again, "Then we already know the end point, [Yulao] is empty, and [Stretching the Sun] is full. So the path to learn this sword is actually very clear - will After the two-meridian sword has been thoroughly understood and solved, the principle of Yingxu can be grasped, and then the integration of the last two moves can be completed. And this move [Feiyuxian] also comes from the transformation from 'Void' to 'Yingxu' 'The burst of light."

Pei Ye nodded slowly.

"However, what you said before about 'learning this sword first' can be moved back a bit." The woman gently closed her book, "To learn the orthodox sword, you must follow the orthodox path. Just take your time. You first learn the two swords." Each Pulse Sword can be learned separately, and then one can steadily move towards the level of [Flying Feather Immortal] - I see your "Yellow Jade" has only learned [Pulling Fire Through Waterfall], how come the Sword of Yingxu has stepped onto the first level first?"

"." The young man lowered his head, a helpless smile flashing across his face.

"Then take a look at the "Earth Immortal"." The woman also smiled and handed the sword scripture in her hand back to him, "That seems to be a sword that needs your 'aura'. Let me see -"

".Come here first, Miss Ming."

Ming Qitian was slightly startled: "Oh."

"I want to watch "Youxian Sword" tomorrow." Pei Ye's voice was slightly hoarse. "There are some other things I want to ask Miss Ming."

"That evening?"

"Um."

Ming Qitian nodded: "You tell."

Pei Ye fell silent for a moment.

In the past few days, that night had indeed been on his mind.

Trying not to look at the tragic blood blossoming from the girl's green sleeves, he retraced every movement of the black robe he saw on that rainy night over and over again, and finally became firmly tied to the last look between the two. .

He looked back at that scene many times, gradually seeing many details that he had not noticed and gaining a complete picture of it.

It was a fight that neither of them was prepared for.

Neither Pei Ye nor the actor expected that there would be a sudden confrontation between their minds.

Pei Ye was furious and rushed forward uncontrollably, but he never intended to use the imperial edict to attack the enemy. He had neither mastered such skills nor made such determination.

At that moment, he was invaded by the imperial edict, and then the purple bamboo forest spread out uncontrollably through his body.

He believed the situation was the same on the other side.

The moment the protagonist was swallowed into the secret realm of Zizhu, he was completely unprepared, and the next moment, he was unable to do anything to counterattack.

He was not the owner of the bead. At that moment, the two of them, like swords behind their backs, were placed on the same ring with their old enemies on the opposite side.

Neither party seemed ready, and Pei Ye knew what the imperial edict lacked—after getting it, he never established contact with the Immortal Lord. But Pei Ye didn't know what the bead was missing.

But even so, they still pounced on each other as soon as they met, but the arena became free to move up and down at will, and Pei Ye was defeated and fell in the first impact because of his lack of state of mind.

The duel therefore failed to take place.

Pei Ye wants to know what it is, and wants to know the name and face under the black robe. To a certain extent, this is actually the same question.

At this time, he was silent for a while, and told the woman next to him in a slow voice all the grooming he had done in the past two days from beginning to end.

"Miss Ming," the young man whispered, "do you know what they are going to do?"

Ming Qitian was quiet for a while and shook her head.

"I'm sorry, except for swords, I don't know much." She looked at the starry sky, "Furthermore, the elders of the sect said that some secrets about ancient times were only revealed in the past few decades. Some eyebrows."

"Earlier in the past, people like Tianshan Immortal Platform, although they have been persevering in tracing back, they have actually gained nothing." The woman said softly, "So, when many things suddenly appear in the world, they actually appear for the first time. We need to find out first. Whoever it is usually gets the upper hand. It doesn’t necessarily mean who is stronger, nor does it necessarily mean who has more power.”

"But I think the people who are most likely to know the origin of such a thing are Tianshan and Xianrentai. Didn't you ask that girl Shi?"

"." Pei Ye was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "I didn't dare to ask."

".Um."

"Miss Ming, don't you Yunlang Mountain compete for these?"

Ming Qitian shook his head.

"There are thousands of roads in the world, and Yunlang Mountain has its own smooth road."

"Oh." Pei Ye was startled for a moment, then regained his composure and took a breath and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Ming. Everything always bothers you. It's getting late. You should rest early."

Ming Qitian shook her head, indicating that it was nothing. Pei Ye leaned back against the tree, took out a pen and paper by the light of the fire, lowered his head and began to list things one by one.

His lips were slightly pursed into a line, and in the light and shadow, his profile looked like a solidified stone statue.

It was he who had collected all the clues he had deduced in the past two days. Now that he had added in what the woman said, the young man stopped writing and stared at the page motionlessly.

Temperament may really change a person's appearance. Now you can't recognize the high-spirited young man just from his figure. The body is becoming silent, and something cold is gradually covering it up.

After staring for an unknown amount of time, the boy finally raised his head, but there was still no sound, and his body seemed to be frozen in place. He looked quietly at the vast starry field. The star curtain was falling, and there was complete silence in all directions. On the cold and vast autumn field, there was only a bonfire that grew darker and darker.

"Would you like some wine?"

Pei Ye was startled and turned around. The woman had not fallen asleep, and was looking at him with a pair of peaceful bright eyes.

"Miss Ming, haven't you rested yet?"

"I don't sleep often. I usually practice "Gu She" at night." Ming Qitian said softly. The sky-like distance on the woman's body was indeed much more obvious. Even under the orange light of the campfire, Pei Ye felt as if she was far away in the horizon. .

"Oh, I don't drink." Pei Ye rubbed her cheek and forced a smile, "Did Miss Ming bring any wine?"

"I've seen that many sad people want to drink." The woman said calmly, "There are villages and towns twenty miles away. If you want to drink, it doesn't take much to travel."

Pei Ye really didn't have this intention. He didn't like drinking at first, and now he didn't numb his thoughts, let alone let the woman run errands for him, so he put on a smile and shook his head: "I can't sleep for a while because Miss Lao Ming is worried. nothing."

Ming Qitian was silent for a while: ".Do you want to listen to the music?"

Pei Ye was really startled: "What?"

"I can play the flute."

"No, no need to thank you, Miss Ming. In fact, I just need to pass by."

"So, do you want to play cards?"

"Ah?" Pei Ye didn't hear clearly, "What about playing cards?"

"Just playing cards. Playing cards and counting cards. I used to play that when I was a kid." The woman looked at him with clear eyes.

Pei Ye was stunned, and for a moment he understood that the woman was playing with almost everything she knew to comfort him. His heart felt numb, but the heavy depression could not be relieved by these things. His throat moved, but he still said in a low voice: " Thank you very much, Miss Ming. But I just need to be quiet for a while. Nothing will happen."

"Well." Ming Qitian was silent for a while, "I'm not good at comforting people. If you need anything, just tell me."

Pei Ye was about to say thank you, but these words really brought back a memory for him.

Pei Ye was startled: "By the way, Miss Ming, there is another thing."

Ming Qitian looked sideways.

Pei Ye took out the jade pendant that Yang Yan had given him and handed it to her.

The woman had already said that she did not recognize the bead, but this jade pendant was actually even more obscure. Apart from being able to store things, there were almost no clues. At this time, Pei Ye actually had no hope.

"Miss Ming, do you recognize what this is?"

Ming Qitian took it, looked through it carefully for a while, and slowly shook her head.

"Oh, actually it doesn't have to be anything -"

"But these two ancient characters probably have some origins."

Pei Ye was startled: "Where are the words?"

Looking closely, there are two strange patterns on the "eyelashes" part, arranged vertically together.

"Is this the word .?"

"Well, it's a very remote ancient character." Ming Qitian stared at it for a while, but still couldn't remember it, so she took out an ancient book and started comparing them one by one.

Pei Ye watched in silence, as time passed by little by little, and gradually the night became thicker and seemed to have weight.

The woman's fingertips suddenly stopped and she whispered: "I found them, they are 'Zhao' and 'You'."
