Although they often meet in the Nether World, this is the first time that Wu Jie and Yin Shuang meet up close in reality.
At the top of the sky, the Wu Jie Yin Shuang saw was just a ball of human-shaped flames, and Wu Jie didn't even see her, so the term "first meeting" was indeed very appropriate.
However, people in the Netherworld exist in a soul state, and the appearance of the soul is often somewhat different from that of the physical body.
Because the soul embodies the inner part of a person, it is the state of the spirit. It is not affected by the physical body. For example, a person who lost an arm in a battle will probably still have all four limbs in his soul.
Wu Jie's physical body is that of a young man in his twenties, with a medium-to-high stature, who looks very stable and reliable. But his soul is that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, whose figure has not yet fully grown, and although his eyebrows are
He has become more stable, but from time to time there is a flash of innocence. This is because he still maintains some innocence and has not yet completely become realistic. Deep in his heart, he is still the young man who devoted himself to seeking the truth.
Yin Shuang's situation is the opposite. Her physical body looks seventeen or eighteen years old, and she has not completely shed her youthfulness. But her soul is much more mature than her physical body. She is already a tall woman of twenty-three or fourteen years old, and she is even more mature.
There is a tough temperament that comes from the bones. If you want to survive in the demon sect that is constantly fighting among itself, and grow up under the watchful eyes of your malicious fellow sects and elders with ulterior motives, maturity is the inevitable result.
Although the appearance of the physical body and the appearance of the soul were very different, they still recognized each other at first sight.
For those who are accomplished practitioners, the appearance of the physical body does not have much meaning. If necessary, there are many ways to change the appearance in the world. So when they look at people, what they look at is temperament, mental state, and the breath of the soul.
.
For Wu Jie and Yin Shuang, what matters is each other's existence, not each other's appearance.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Wu Jie said apologetically, "I had a little trouble here, and it took some trouble, but it has been solved. What about you? Will there be any trouble?"
"We are much easier to talk to here than you are." Yin Shuang smiled, with no unusual cold murderous intent in his eyes. "The old madman nodded. What can others say? Even if he has an opinion, the old madman can talk back with just one sentence.
."
Wu Jie nodded. He also knew something about the situation of the Sky-Eyed Old Man and the Blood Demon Sect.
Thinking of Yin Shuang's situation, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that our cultivation level is not high enough... If we are strong enough, you don't have to worry about that old guy all the time."
"I think it's good now." Yin Shuang shook her head and held his hand tightly. "If I were strong, do you think I could still be so free? A strong person must bear responsibilities that match his strength. I
You can’t leave the sect behind.”
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Yin Shuang, like himself, was the heir to the position of head. The difference was that one of them was the future head of the righteous Qingyang Temple, and the other was the future head of the Demon Sect, the Blood Demon Sect.
metropolitan.
In the future... when they really sit at the core of their respective sects, it will be difficult even if they want to meet like this...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Are you thinking about the future?" Yin Shuang has known him for many years and already knows him very well. When she saw him, she suddenly became sentimental. After thinking about it for a while, she guessed the reason and couldn't help but laugh, "Let's talk about the future in the future.
.Judging from the current situation, it is still unknown whether we will have a future. What is the point of thinking so much?"
Wu Jie understood what she meant. In the battle of Jiuxiao, although the Jiuzhou sects suffered greater losses than the Demon Sect at the Huandan Zhenren level, they sacrificed the most precious treasure, the Nine Provinces Mountains and Rivers Map, and almost eliminated all the disciples at the Demon Sect's refining level.
Catch them all in one fell swoop. In this way, the Taoist demon will be eliminated
The trend has been formed. If nothing goes wrong, during the period between two hundred and four hundred years, the Demon Sect will be in a dilemma. At that time, the righteous factions will definitely seize the opportunity to form a coalition to take over the sky.
Plow the courtyard and sweep the holes to uproot the devil's door
By then, Yin Shuang is the future head of the Blood Demon Sect, and Wu Jie is the future head of the Qingyang Temple. They are both targets that will be targeted. If they are not careful, they will die on the battlefield, or even be destroyed physically and mentally.
Under such circumstances, it would be a bit redundant to consider the troubles of becoming leaders of the same faction.
Thinking of this, Wu Jie couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Okay, let's be more open-minded." Yin Shuang took his hand and led him forward, "I found a good place to stay. Don't worry, I didn't kill anyone. I'm not a murderer."
The location is indeed very good. It is close to the seawall of the port. If there is any disturbance, you can escape to the sea as soon as possible.
Yin Shuang has arranged several defensive and cover-up formations here, as well as a one-time teleportation formation. To put it bluntly, it uses a moving talisman as the formation eye to directly send people out.
She even dug a tunnel underground. When Wu Jie asked in confusion, "Isn't earth escape much more convenient than tunnels?", she smiled and explained, "Earth escape is a magic after all, and it can be easily seen through by those who are interested; but
The location of my tunnel is deep enough that the Lian Gang monks will never discover it unless they spend great efforts to explore the underground."
Wu Jie could only admire this.
She is worthy of being someone who grew up in a demonic sect full of murderous intentions. She is indeed more skillful than Wu Jie in arranging a way out.
The two of them stayed in Changning City, exploring the origin of the strange noise while enjoying the rare world of two.
"Strange noise?" Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "You are not the first person to come to me and ask this question, but I really didn't hear any strange noise."
"It seems that only those who are good at swordsmanship can hear that sound."
"... Then you must not have heard it. As far as I know, you are not good at swordsmanship at all." Xiao Buyi laughed loudly, "Are you asking for a fellow disciple?"
Wu Jie touched his nose: "I asked for my friend."
Xiao Buyi was stunned for a moment, looked at him carefully, and then suddenly felt surprised and delighted, clasping his hands into fists, and congratulated him repeatedly.
"What do I have to congratulate?" Wu Jie was confused by him. He looked carefully at himself and didn't seem to see anything worthy of congratulations.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, although I can't calculate your fate, judging from your appearance, the red luan star has illuminated your head recently, which indicates your marriage." Xiao Buyi said with a hint of ridicule, "Calculate your age.
If a mortal were to get married at your age, it would really be in line with a limerick you once said: The seventeenth-year-old bride has pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks spend the night in pairs under the quilt, and a pear tree presses the begonia.
"
"It's gratifying, it's gratifying."
Wu Jie blushed at what he said and shook his hands, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Fortunately, Xiao Buyi was not an unreasonable and reckless young man, so he could just make fun of him a little bit.
After joking, he took out the divination tools and began to make calculations.
It is true that Xiao Buyi is not good at swordsmanship, but if Buyi's Shenxiang lineage wants to know something, he does not need to be good at it.
Dozens of yarrows showed various combinations under his fiddling, which were unpredictable. Wu Jie stared at these yarrows intently, trying to see some tricks. But although he also had some experience in the art of divination,
, but still completely unable to see the changes and combinations of these yarrows in Mingtang, which were already beyond the scope of his involvement. Even the similar records he had seen in the teacher's notes were compared to Xiao Buyi's methods.
It also seems a lot more monotonous.
Divination is easy to learn but difficult to master. Each divination technique has its own specialties. What Yarrow Divination is best at is higher-level things like divination. Although it is very complicated to use, the efficiency of divination is not very high.
It's high, but it doesn't require too much energy, let alone the risk of backlash to spy on the destiny. Therefore, fortune tellers in the world like to use this method the most.
Xiao Buyi, as a contemporary Buyi god, can be called the most powerful fortune teller in the world. In fact, his best thing is not yarrow divination, but since he wants to calculate extremely mysterious things, he would rather use this kind of fortune teller.
means.
As his cultivation level gradually advanced, he felt more and more that there were great hidden dangers in the Bu Yi Shen Xiang lineage exercises. The foundation of this set of exercises was quite biased. He didn't feel it at first, but after reaching the level of refining the Gang, he would
I found that the road ahead was difficult and every step I took was very difficult.
As for the method of divination, he also encountered trouble. As the divination technique deepened, he found that his destiny was being continuously weakened.
Fate is not lifespan, but a person's "luck". A weakened destiny means that the person's luck will continue to get worse. Not only will the efficiency of practice be greatly reduced, but also he will often encounter various dangers.
But as his fate weakened, his fortune-telling skills continued to improve, reaching a level he had never imagined, even to the point where
Even if it is corroborated with the records left by Patriarch Li Buyi, it already means that one is better than one.
He didn't know whether this situation was good or bad, but as the saying goes, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, but a disaster cannot be avoided." Even though fortune tellers throughout the ages can help others seek good fortune and avoid disaster, they themselves are rarely able to escape disaster.
Perhaps, this is the price of spying on the secrets of heaven?
Xiao Buyi didn't want to pay this price, but he had no choice. He couldn't solve the problem that soothsayers of all ages had failed to solve.
Therefore, he could only change the method of divination, try to use relatively low-level divination methods as much as possible, and avoid doing things that would touch the heavens too much.
After more than half an hour of calculation, he took a long breath and put away the yarrow.
"That's it." He smiled and raised his head to look at Wu Jie, who was full of curiosity. "It seems that I was unnecessary."
"What's the meaning?"
"You can just relax and accompany your friend to enjoy the mountains and rivers in this area. As long as you remember not to leave Changning City too far, you won't miss the opportunity." Xiao Buyi said with a smile, "No need to say more things, anyway.
Just don’t worry."
Wu Jie was very puzzled, so he went back and talked to Yin Shuang, and the two decided to follow Xiao Buyi's suggestion and relax.
In fact, they didn't care much about the weird sound. On the contrary, this opportunity was rare...
After playing for about four or five days, one evening, when they were sitting on the seawall watching the sunset, they suddenly heard a sound coming from the seaside.
"I know you all have a lot of questions, and I also know that you are very curious about the sound of the sword, so now I will give you a chance." The voice sounded familiar, and Wu Jie felt that he must have heard it somewhere.
, and more than once, "Anyone who has the courage to face the risk of no return may wish to pass through this door, I will wait for you in the Valley of No Return."
When Wu Jie heard the words "Wuhui Valley", he immediately thought of it.
