"They want to make the enemy afraid, and I want the enemy to pay less attention to me. Ye Qinghe replied casually before asking: "What do you mean we have to disguise? Aren't you the same, looking honest, you can be more ruthless than us." ”

Zhang Zhao said helplessly: "Believe it or not, I am like this, and I have never changed." Ye Qinghe shook his head and changed the subject: "You Five Xuan cultivators are really comfortable to live a comfortable life, and you have beautiful senior sisters and sisters to accompany you in the life and death realm, but we are more fierce than the other, and we have to be careful even when telling a joke." ”

The two of them are idle and bored, you say a word, Ye Qinghe said the beast of the Nine Shadows, and Zhang Zhao said the snow peak of Lingxiao, the more he talked, the more energetic he became. During this period, there were occasional sporadic cultivators passing by, and they were all driven back by Ye Qinghe, and with him as a villain, Zhang Zhao was even more happy.

After talking for a while, Zhang Zhao took out two pieces of dried meat from the bag on his back and handed one to Ye Qinghe: "Try it, I made it myself." Ye Qinghe hesitated slightly, reached out and took it and sniffed it, chewed it and sighed: "Not bad." The flesh on this earth is just different from ours. ”

"We are all beasts of prey that do not usually see the sun, and although they are fierce and have good fur, the flesh on them is hard and scarce. Ye Qinghe ate the dried meat that was incomparably delicious to him and nodded at Zhang Zhao: "Your skills are really good." ”

Zhang Zhao was happy to hear this: "I have the opportunity to let you taste the grilled fish and shrimp I made again, that one tastes better." Ye Qinghe stopped chewing and was stunned for a moment: "I have just heard that people have heard that there is no such thing in the River Styx." ”

Seeing the sad expression on his face, Zhang Zhao sympathized with this young man who usually smiled all the time, and these things that he could eat whenever he wanted in Lingxiao turned out to be delicious to him that he had never seen before.

"It's okay, if you have a chance, I'll make it for you. Ye Qinghe listened to Zhang Zhao's words and suddenly became sad: "Haha, you guy has a good heart, it seems that I really blame you, okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance." ”

Unconsciously, time passed quietly in the conversation between the two, Ye Qinghe calculated the hour and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Zhao, I'm going to go in and practice, I advise you to go in and try, no matter what your talent is, you still have to work hard to practice." ”

Zhang Zhao said helplessly: "Why don't you believe it, sitting down and standing now are really the same." Ye Qinghe waved his hand and went into the cave to change people to guard. Zhang Zhao looked sideways, and when he came out, this person had a fierce face, it was Yan Wuxi.

Yan Wuxi stood there without saying a word, Zhang Zhao didn't want to provoke him when he looked at him, and the two didn't speak for half an hour. Zhang Zhao gradually felt that the aura around him was getting stronger and stronger, and it poured into his body under the drive of the Ten Thousand Soul Jue, flowing through the meridians everywhere like a great river, rushing away countless small spaces in his body that he could not usually perceive.

"How could you know that my hands were shaking at that time?" Zhang Zhao, who was enjoying the spiritual power, suddenly heard Yan Wuxi beside him ask, "I can't figure it out, in that case, how can you see it?"

Zhang Zhao couldn't explain it for a while, so he thought about it and said, "Feel it, I feel your hands trembling, and the same goes for those ones." He looked at Yan Wuxi, who was confused by himself, and smiled: "The strength is not as great as that organ, so it is not a shameful thing." ”

"It's not a shame or a shame. Yan Wuxi still thought back to his performance at that time: "I'm just thinking about what to do next time, so that people don't see it." Zhang Zhao smiled silently when he heard this, in fact, in that white mist, if it weren't for the fact that he had the soul method in his body, no one would have noticed the subtle changes on the arms of the Jiuyou people.

"Even if you don't get discovered by me, won't the result be the same?" Zhang Zhao calculated the situation in his mind: "If you continue to fight hard, you will not be able to hold on, and everyone will always find out." And why do you have to fight head-on? With your strength, if you come up and deal with them, your strength will not be so great. ”

Yan Wuxi looked at Zhang Zhao with a suspicious face: "Who the hell are you kid, why do you still teach me to beat your own people?" He thought for a while and said, "We did that to get a quick solution, if you didn't see what we were trembling about, I don't think those guys would have fought hard anymore." ”

He smiled proudly: "At that time, as soon as a few of them retreated, I knew that they must have been fooled, but although the power of those organs is not small, when Lao Tzu breaks through the upper three realms, they can still smash them to pieces." ”

"There are even more powerful machine men, several times larger than them, with two people inside. Zhang Zhao recalled the giants at the top of Lingxiao Peak. "I can shoot arrows, I can breathe fire, and my body is very strong. It takes a lot of people to work together to bring it down. ”

Yan Wuxi listened to it and said, "Listen to what you mean, you really fought with that thing?" Zhang Zhao told him about the scene of Lingxiao that day. Yan Wuxi's eyes widened with envy, and he listened with relish.

Eating the dried meat handed by Zhang Zhao, Yan Wuxi was also full of praise, and yearning for Zhang Zhao's description of the lake on Lingxiao: "Soaking in that lake must be comfortable to death." Looking at Zhang Zhao, he said hatefully: "The water we have there is very precious, and it is not okay to take a bath if you want to, this time I came to the world of life and death, but there is not even a river on the road, what a pity." ”

Could it be that life under the Nine Shadows is so hard, Zhang Zhao thought about the scene of himself swimming in the Meditation Lake, and felt that it was not a rare enjoyment at all, he tried to ask, "Didn't that Senior Brother Ye just now say that you have any Styx there?"

"Huh. Yan Wuxi opened his mouth without smiling and made a sound: "Listen to the name, the River Styx is a terrible place, and there is not even a piece of wood floating in it, go there to take a bath?"

Zhang Zhao heard it strangely, and asked some more about the situation of Jiuyou, from the situation described by Ye Qinghe and Yan Wuxi, it seems that Jiuyou is full of fierce beasts everywhere, and the oil and salt things that can be purchased everywhere on the Wuxuan are extremely scarce, and all the needs of the city can only be barely satisfied by exchanging animal skins and other things with people who go to trade.

"Since you are so bitter, why don't you come up?" Zhang Zhao felt that his method was really good: "You have hands and feet, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking when you come up, why do you have to live below?"

Yan Wuxi shook his head: "We people can come up, but there are still tens of millions of ordinary people under the Nine Shadows, what about those people?

Looking down at the ground, Yan Wuxi's face was full of nostalgia, but his words were full of perseverance: "To live in the Nine Shadows is to have the same qi and branches, life is the same life, death is the same death, even if one day we have to go to this ground, we must all come up, and no one can be less." After Ye Qinghe and Yan Wuxi, the person who came out to guard Jiuyou was Wei Tiesheng, Zhang Zhao saw that he was pale but had a lot of wrinkles, and thinking about the situation under Jiuyou described by the two just now, he unconsciously restrained his smile.

Who knew that Wei Tiesheng, who looked strange, was very keen, and as soon as Zhang Zhao's face changed, he said in a deep voice: "Do you sympathize with me?" Zhang Zhao was asked by him, and then nodded: "I don't sympathize with you, I think you are really hard under the Nine Shadows." ”

Wei Tiesheng stared straight at Zhang Zhao's expression, as if to confirm whether he was lying, and then retracted his gaze and snorted: "You feel bitter just by talking about it? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Zhao to speak, he said coldly: "What's more, in this world, you can't believe everything people say, how do you know if we are lying to you?"

Zhang Zhao listened to his words and recalled the scene just now: "I don't think you lied to me, I can feel it." Wei Tiesheng looked at him contemptuously: "I feel it, this is the first time I've heard of your way of looking at people." ”

Zhang Zhao smiled: "Anyway, I can know." I can tell at a glance who is good or bad to me. Wei Tiesheng pouted and said, "Then do you think I'm good or bad?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao stared at Wei Tiesheng's face and looked at it with the soul method, feeling that Wei Tiesheng's heart was peaceful, but there was something strange: "You are all about the same, you always have to make a scary appearance, in fact, there is nothing bad about it, I think you seem to care more about other people's opinions than the two of them, because you are a little nervous now." ”

Wei Tiesheng suddenly had a ghostly expression: "I don't see it, you still have some doorways, is there really a mind reading technique in the world?" Zhang Zhao smiled heartily: "I don't know how to read minds, I just talk nonsense based on my own feelings." ”

Wei Tiesheng looked at him suspiciously, took the dried meat he handed over casually, and was about to put it to his mouth when he suddenly woke up: "What kind of meat is this?" He put the dried meat on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and only took a small bite after confirming that there was no problem.

"This meat is tough and fragrant, it should be dried first and then roasted, which can not only last for a long time, but also maintain the flavor of the meat. Listening to Wei Tiesheng's analysis as if he saw it, Zhang Zhao also said curiously: "You really have some skills, you can guess the method after eating such a bite?"

Wei Tiesheng took another bite with a smug look on his face: "No matter where it is, these things are just a few methods, as long as you taste them carefully, you can naturally come up with a way." ”

He was about to boast a few more words, when a series of wild screams suddenly came from some direction: "Ah...... Yes....... "Now the white mist formed by the aura in the realm of life and death has become so thick that I can't count the situation in front of me, and the voice seems to come from miles away, and there is not much pain in the scream, but more like someone is venting madly.

The screaming continued for half an hour before it stopped. Zhang Zhao looked at Wei Tiesheng with a puzzled face: "What's going on, do you know?"

Wei Tiesheng said confidently: "This is not easy to guess, it must be who is in a hurry, and wants to break through the realm before Gu Yuan finishes washing the marrow, but he goes mad, and even he doesn't know when he hears the scream." ”

Zhang Zhao was startled when he heard this, since he entered the realm of life and death, the magic trick on his body has not stopped for a moment. At this time, the aura in the body was rolling, and although there was no discomfort at the moment, he was a little worried after listening to Wei Tiesheng.

"Then how can you finish washing the marrow, and what does it feel like when you break through the realm?" Wei Tiesheng frowned when he heard Zhang Zhao's words: "Why didn't your seniors in your sect make these things clear to you before you came to the realm of life and death?"

He naturally couldn't guess that no one on the entire Lingxiao Peak thought that Zhang Zhao could break through the realm successfully, and everyone told him not to enter the realm of life and death to practice on the periphery, just hoping that he could comprehend the Ten Thousand Souls Technique more clearly.

"Idle is idle, so let's talk to you. Wei Tiesheng is no stranger to these things: "The purpose of our cultivation method is to draw qi into the body, so that the aura can spread throughout the body, and when there is no stagnation everywhere in the meridians of the hundred marrows, it can be fused with its own strength, making one move and one style more powerful." ”

He looked at Zhang Zhao's attentive listening, and said even more energetically: "We, the cultivators of the Middle Three Realms, even those geniuses, can only send out spiritual energy to hurt the enemy in the dense meridians of our hands and feet. Most of them can only use the aura in a certain part of the body, far from being freewheeling. ”

Wei Tiesheng gestured with his hand on his body: "But when we run the magic technique, we bring more and more different spiritual energy, and when we open up all the small meridians in our body, we can release different kinds of spiritual energy at will to defend ourselves or injure the enemy." ”

When the cultivator's body can withstand the impact of this huge power, he can identify three different spiritual powers gathered in the dantian and merge into the whole body, and then the body will emit three-colored light, which is called the Sanhua Gathering Peak, which is also the cultivation of the upper three realms. ”

"After Sanhua is the five qi, after the five qi, it is necessary to identify the spirit of the world, comprehend the way of life and death, and use the qi of the five elements to turn into yin and yang. After comprehending the incarnation of the Yin and Yang realm, you can also turn the spiritual energy of the world into spiritual life, prolong your life, and immortalize for hundreds of years. ”

Zhang Zhao was fascinated when he heard this: "I only know that the Yin and Yang realm is very powerful, how can you know so many things." Wei Tiesheng snorted: "If you want to do it, you must first understand the cause, these superficial truths, we Jiuyou people have known it clearly since childhood, you dare to come to the realm of life and death without knowing anything, those who are masters on the five mysteries are really open-minded." ”

He pointed to the burden on Zhang Zhao's back, Zhang Zhao comprehended it and immediately took out another piece of dried meat and handed it over, Wei Tiesheng took a small bite of meat, and admonished: "Although the aura in the realm of life and death is strong, there are many types, and the absorption of aura by cultivators in the upper three realms is many times stronger than ours. So they didn't dare to come. ”

"In the realm of life and death, we can only draw qi to gather the spirit to wash the marrow and solidify the element, the most important thing is to lay a good foundation, don't have a trace of breaking the realm, just now the one must feel that he can gather the yuan to break the realm, but the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, can not control too much aura, crazy and died. ”

"I see. Zhang Zhao nodded again and again, and his heart was also relaxed, although the ten thousand spirit tricks in his body were flowing endlessly, all kinds of spiritual energy were running in the meridians in an orderly manner, without a trace of confusion.

On that day, Zhang Zhao comprehended more than a dozen kinds of spiritual energy under the guidance of Zhuo Xuhan's soul, and in terms of the number of spiritual senses alone, many cultivators in the Yin and Yang Realm could not compare to him. In addition, he had been practicing Vajra for several years without cultivating the Fa Formula, and the meridians in his body were several times wider than those of ordinary cultivators. Although the entry into the Lingxiao is extremely slow, it is extremely easy to cultivate in the rich aura of this life and death realm.

The conversation between the two had just ended, and the voice in the distance began again. This time, it seemed to be laughing wildly, and the sound of "haha, ahhhh "Another one. You Wuxuan people are really anxious. Wei Tiesheng sighed: "It's also surprising that it's ignorant." ”

Zhang Zhao sympathized with each other and felt a little strange, although these people in Jiuyou seemed to be unapproachable, they were actually quite good, and they could be said to treat each other with sincerity in their words, and they didn't hide their selfishness even when they practiced.

Although there are many cultivators above the Five Xuans, Zhang Zhao feels that the various factions are quite wary of each other, and no one even mentions these taboo things in the life and death world, if everyone communicates with each other, then the two of them will not die in vain as soon as they enter the life and death world.

The one who came out to replace Wei Tiesheng in the Nine Shadows was the iron-masked cultivator who was holding a long stick, and Wei Tiesheng didn't forget to introduce it to Zhang Zhao: "This is the first disciple of the Mighty Ghost King of the Nine Shadows Mulberry City, we all call him Ghost Face." Zhang Zhao bowed his hand, and the ghost face holding the long stick nodded slightly, and his attitude was very cold.

The ghost face leaned against the entrance of the cave with a long stick in his hand and didn't say a word, and he didn't reach out to pick up the dried meat handed by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao thought he was a little wary, so he joked: "They all ate it just now, are you still afraid that I will not be poisoned?"

Ghost Face turned his head sideways, and the expression on his face wearing half an iron mask was calm, perhaps because he felt that Zhang Zhao was indeed sincere, and Ghost Face spoke for the first time: "I can't eat it." His voice was like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing against each other, and Zhang Zhao couldn't understand it with difficulty.

As if to see Zhang Zhao's puzzlement, the ghost face gently uncovered half of the iron mask on his face, and opened his mouth to Zhang Zhao, with the action of opening his mouth, a hole suddenly opened on half of his iron mask, from the corner of his mouth to the root of his ear, as if his head was suddenly cracked, although there was no blood at the opening, it was terrifying to look at, Zhang Zhao clearly saw that in his half of the mouth, there was not even a single tooth.

Not only was there a crack on his face and no teeth in his mouth, but Zhang Zhao also saw that his cheekbones on one side were also deeply sunken, and his shrunken face looked like a ghost. Ghostface recovers the iron face in his hand and turns his head away from speaking.

After calming down for a while, Zhang Zhaocai tried to ask, "How did you get hurt?" After waiting for a long time and not hearing the ghost face speak, he thought about it and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." ”

"There's nothing to be sorry about, that's the mark Grizzly Bear left me. The ghostface's strange voice rang out: "It hit me in the face with a claw, and I smashed its head with a stick." ”

"We went to more than a dozen people together that time, and in the end, only me and Senior Brother Lu came back alive. I was just thinking about the names of those people, and strangely enough, I couldn't remember any of them. After a pause, Ghost Face made a voice that seemed to sigh: "Maybe it's because over the years, too many people have died around me." ”

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the white fog in the realm of life and death was pervasive, and he couldn't even see the three feet in front of him clearly. Zhang Zhao sensed that someone was slowly approaching this side with his soul method. He gestured to the ghost face, the ghost face didn't hear any sound, and was thinking that Zhang Zhao had made a mistake, when a figure flashed in the white fog in front of him, and two people suddenly appeared.

The ghost face lifted the long stick and smashed it, the two reacted quickly, and jumped in front of Zhang Zhao to avoid it, Zhang Zhao did not fight to break the immortal cross in his hand, and the two people saw Zhang Zhao's face clearly and immediately screamed in unison, and they didn't care about running away, so they knelt down on their knees softly: "Spare your life." Zhang Zhao fixed his eyes and saw that these two had really seen it, it was the two cultivators who invited him to fight on the last day of the competition in the life and death realm yesterday, one of these two people was fat and fat with a wide forehead and round jaw, and the other was diametrically opposed, thin and tall like a bamboo pole.

"Why are you?" Zhang Zhao remembered the situation when these two people firmly rejected him yesterday and asked, "You two don't have a life and death order." ”

"Please spare your life, big brother. The two who were smart yesterday were full of horror: "Don't kill us, the two of us just sneaked in to take a look, who knew that it was all white fog here and couldn't see clearly, so I inadvertently offended you, big brother." ”

"Why am I killing you?" Zhang Zhao saw that their faces turned green with fright, and they were also terrified in their hearts with their soul senses. "Why are you afraid of this? ”

Who knew that the more amiable he was, the more the two of them trembled, and the two people who witnessed him kill Xi Jiujue from behind thought that he wanted to repeat his old tricks, and suddenly slashed when he was most relaxed.

"Big brother spare my life, the two of us really didn't mean it yesterday. The fat man thought that he remembered that the two of them refused to compete yesterday, and said like chaff: "We don't care at all now, you can be optimistic." ”

Zhang Zhao smiled dumbly: "Hurry up, I won't kill you." The two men didn't believe it anyway, holding his leg and crying, they just didn't dare to get up.

The ghost face on the side really couldn't look past it, so he approached and shouted, "If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you two first." The two of them had no choice but to retreat, but their eyes were always staring at Zhang Zhao: "Thank you for your mercy." ”

After the two retreated into the white mist for a long time, Zhang Zhaocai shook his head and sighed: "It's really strange, these two people are so cowardly, what are they doing in this life and death realm." ”

Ghost Face also thought the same as Ye Qinghe at first, thinking that Zhang Zhao was just being loyal, but now that he saw it, he didn't feel like it: "You really don't want to kill those two?" Or are they because they're too scared, and you think it's boring to kill?"

Zhang Zhao looked back blankly when he heard this: "Why do you all think I like to kill people very much?" Ghost Face recalled the scene of him slashing the strange corpse in front of the life and death realm expressionlessly, and nodded: "Not only do I like it very much, but I also enjoy killing very much." ”

"Not really. Zhang Zhao sighed in distress: "Isn't it right for me to do that?" Besides, I didn't cut many knives on Xi Jiujue's body, but I just used his strange corpse to torture him. Who asked him to break his promise and kill Senior Brother Gao. Ghost Face seemed to laugh a few times in a dumb voice: "You killed everything, do you care what others think?" He recalled the scene of that day and said: "If your knives really fell on him, he wouldn't be able to endure it for so long, but you cut that thing with thousands of knives, and you killed ...... of them" After a pause, Ghost Face finally came up with a word: "And kill so carefully." ”
