After the two parties reached an agreement, they temporarily stopped arguing.
Although each other knows that once the place of inheritance is opened, they will inevitably have to fight again, and may even fight. But at least they don't have to fight now.
Taking advantage of the calm before the storm, Wu Jie asked Yanfeng about the situation on their side and got some information that might be useful.
Because Kotomine suffered amnesia due to his injury, he has been traveling around the world for more than a year, looking for clues that can help him regain his memory.
He didn't know how to retrieve his memory. The elders of his sect said that it involved the brain, so if you can't help it, don't do it. Remembering by yourself is far better than having others help, so he could only follow the pattern. With vague impressions, I looked everywhere for rocks that might make my eyes shine.
This approach was unreasonable and inefficient. But he really had no other clues. The only thing he remembered was that he seemed to care about those special stones...
"I searched several big cities and basically looked at all the common gems, but I only recovered a few fragmentary memories." Kotomine sighed, "The remaining gems are almost all rare treasures. Exotic treasures are rare, and they often cannot be used as materials for making magic weapons or to assist in cultivation, so they are not included in our warehouse... After much thought, I had to go to the desert to look for it. Maybe I can find some rare things here. of gems.”
"Oh...then you met them in the desert?"
"No. I was preparing the tools to enter the desert. Su Lin found me and asked me if I would help him find something in the desert. In exchange, he could help me divine the whereabouts of the stones that would be useful to me."
Wu Jie nodded, he could completely understand Kotomine's eagerness to find his past memories.
"Then what are the origins of the other two people? Do you know?"
"They are cousins from the small sect 'Tinglan Mountain' in the northwest. The total number of members of that sect does not exceed twenty, which is surprisingly small. My brother Zhang Li is a physical practitioner, a mortal who has entered the Tao through martial arts. He is currently working hard to make up for the martial arts. The foundation was missing during the period; my younger brother Zhang He is a sword cultivator with good qualifications. After he joined Tinglan Mountain, he led his cousin into the path of monasticism."
"So, the relationship between the two brothers is very good?"
"Probably...but even if their relationship is not that good, at least they will advance and retreat together."
Wu Jie pondered for a moment and then asked: "What are their abilities?"
"I have never seen Su Lin take action. I only know that he knows everything about astronomy and geography. He is also proficient in divination. He is very good at fortune-telling and astrology. He is also very good at miscellaneous studies and formations. , talismans, alchemy, and weapon making are all pretty common... It’s good to live as long as you can!”
Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh. He was becoming less and less optimistic about Xiao Buyi.
Xiao Buyi started practicing Taoism at the age of fifteen, and has only been practicing Taoism for twenty years, while Su Lin is already twelve hundred years old.
Even if Su Lin is bragging, at least he must be an old monster - even Wu Jie has heard of the title of the best fortune teller in the north. It was almost two hundred years ago when Su Lin got this title.
Time can accumulate knowledge, and for people like fortune tellers who rely on their brains, knowledge is power.
Between the seniors who have been famous for more than two hundred years and the juniors who are unknown, as long as they are not blind, anyone can tell who is better.
Wu Jie shook his head with a wry smile, put these thoughts aside, and continued to inquire about the news.
"Zhang Zhang doesn't have any advanced skills, and his martial arts and Taoism are very simple. But his hard work is not simple at all! He is the kind of person who relies on hard work to practice simple skills and becomes famous. On the front He is quite powerful in battle; Zhang He is good at sword control, and his pair of swords makes him elegant and light. The disadvantage is that he has a serious lack of actual combat experience, and he is the opposite extreme to his brother."
"So these two people complement each other?"
"Yes, none of their brothers is my opponent, but if we fight one against two, I estimate that I can only hold on to ten moves at most."
Wu Jie frowned, slightly worried.
Kotomine actually overestimated his strength. When he killed the Ten Thousand Evil Beasts and the Thousand Army Taoist, he relied on the fire cloud created by the combined magic weapon. The reason why the Holy Goddess lost to him was simply because It's not that he is so powerful, it's just that she was exhausted at the time.
In terms of his true strength, although he is definitely far above Kotomine, can he defeat Kotomine in just ten moves?
If a fight breaks out later, Wu Jie hopes that Yanfeng will not take action against Su Lin and others as much as possible. Because even if the rules of the family are greater than friendship, going back on one's word will cause damage to Yanfeng's spiritual cultivation.
If Kotomine didn't take action, he would have to defeat the Zhang brothers as soon as possible and then rush to help Xiao Buyi.
No matter how you look at it, Xiao Buyi and Su Lin cannot last long.
He said nothing and sat quietly on the ground, carefully thinking about what to do and how to fight.
Others did the same thing, and everyone seemed worried.
In this silence, the great monk Momoda sighed and said goodbye to everyone.
"Although I really want to rest a little longer, there are less than two hours left before August 15th." The Shingon sect disciple who was being hunted smiled bitterly and looked at the rising moon, feeling helpless, "Wait until On August 15th, you may start fighting. It will be chaotic by then, and it will be easier for her to seize the opportunity."
After he finished speaking, he cast a spell, and a golden light under his feet lifted him up like a dragon and snake, and he walked away quickly as if gliding against the sand. However, Hehe, the protector of the Canaanite Cult who had been resting in the shadows before, said nothing. Faidi chased after him, his toes stepped heavily on the sand, and a large amount of sand was splashed with every step.
The two of them ran away and chased each other, and soon disappeared on the eastern horizon.
Wu Jie explained the situation of these two people to Yanfeng, and Yanfeng shook his head repeatedly.
"These people who believe in religion and are stupid are really unreasonable! Isn't it just preaching? Is it worth fighting to the death for such a trivial matter?"
"I think so too...but they seem to think it's worth it."
"Everyone has something they value." Su Lin, who had been closing his eyes to meditate, said with a smile, "Even fortune tellers like us who have nothing to do with the world will not hesitate to fight for the orthodoxy, let alone others. Already."
These words were like a magic spell, causing the atmosphere to sink immediately. No one spoke for a while, only the night wind blowing through the ruins whispered, like a whimper.
From August 14th to August 15th, there is only one day - in fact, there is less than two hours left.
Watching the full moon gradually rising toward the zenith, Xiao Buyi gradually became nervous.
He is very aware of the huge gap between himself and Su Lin. A human who has only lived for less than a hundred years and a monster who is over a thousand years old. Even though their strength may be about the same, their experience is simply amazing.
despair.
If possible, he would definitely not want to compete with a terrifying opponent like Su Lin for the True Inheritance.
But he had no choice.
Li Buyi's Taoism is really weird. He started practicing Taoism at the age of fifteen, and it has only been twenty years, but he secretly estimates that he has already lost at least thirty extra years of his life.
In other words, he is actually equivalent to sixty-five years old.
A monk who has entered the innate realm of Taoism can theoretically live about one hundred and fifty years, which means he still has eighty-five years of life left.
This number seems like a lot, but unless he never does divination again, he will continue to lose his life span - he once calculated very carefully that if he practices and divination at the current frequency, he will probably only be able to live another three years.
About ten years.
How could he be willing to die if he had to live another thirty years?
Moreover... what a cultivator pursues is continuous progress. There is clearly a further path in front of him, so how can he not pursue it?
Every year in the world, many monks take various risks in order to pursue a further step. The founders of various sects who have reached the seventh or eighth level of Huandan also challenge the heavenly calamity in order to go a step further, hoping to overcome the calamity and ascend.
He, Xiao Buyi, is not a saint who forgets his love, so how could he let go of his pursuit of "progress"?
Xiao Buyi frowned and secretly thought about what to do.
His advantages and disadvantages are obvious. The disadvantage is naturally the gap in divination ability and Taoism. In fact, he himself feels that if he and Su Lin compete fairly, he will lose mostly; but he also has great advantages.
, it’s just that their companions are completely different!
Wu Jie's strength is far superior to that of the Zhang brothers. Moreover, if the fight is really fierce, there is no way that Yanfeng will not help his senior brother.
When these two disciples of Qingyang Temple join forces, Su Lin cannot resist them even if he is extremely capable!
This is his advantage.
If he can't compare with Su Lin, then Su Lin won't be able to compete with him!
Although this approach is almost rogue, in order to pursue opportunities, even if you have to act rogue, you don't care!
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and secretly made up his mind.
The moon is rising slowly, gradually approaching the center of the zenith.
The moods of both parties were lifted along with it, and gradually lifted into the air.
Everyone knows that once the moon reaches its peak, it will be August 15th.
If the place of inheritance is no longer there, then everyone's hard work will be in vain and nothing will be gained; and if the place of inheritance is still there, then it is very likely that the entrance will be seen.
At that time, it was the moment for both sides to turn against each other and take action!
The moon wheel in the sky was approaching the zenith little by little. At the moment when it finally reached the zenith, a strange brilliance suddenly rose from the ruins.
The place of inheritance is still there!
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, but before they could react, a gray figure had already rushed out of the light and sped towards the east.
The moment the figure rushed out, the brilliance dimmed instantly and disappeared without a trace.
Could it be that... that person has already received the inheritance, so the place of inheritance has automatically disappeared?
While everyone was still wondering, Su Lin had already roared: "Chase!", smoke erupted at his feet, and he wanted to chase after the gray figure.
As soon as he chased after him, the Zhang brothers also followed him subconsciously. Yanfeng looked at Wu Jie, thought for a moment, and also chased after him.
Wu Jie did not rush to catch up, but turned back to look at Xiao Buyi.
"What should you do? Go after him too?"
Xiao Buyi was silent for a while, seeming to be hesitating.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and made a decision that was simply a gamble.
"We won't chase!" His words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "I don't believe that the place of inheritance will disappear so easily, so I have to wait here!"
"wait?"
"Yes, wait!" Xiao Buyi lowered his head and said loudly as if to encourage himself: "I believe in Patriarch Li's wisdom and arrangement. If the place of inheritance really disappears, we descendants cannot fully feel it. Not even there!”
"It's only my first time now, and I have to wait until today, Haishi, for August 15th!"
