After all, the Steelclad Storm is not a human being, and his view of things is different from that of ordinary people. However www.biquge.info Yang Tianhong benefited from this, and gradually understood the importance of knife skills from the process of slaughtering live cattle.

From slaughtering live cattle and cutting them into lumps of beef to now slicing live cattle, it only took Yang Tianhong two weeks.

Steelclad Storm was extremely appreciative of his slaughtering progress.

"Doll, you're very talented at this. In the past, none of the disciples who went to the Spirit Void Peak could do anything like you. During the six-month rotation period, only two people barely satisfied me. One is the current sect master Zhong Yuanyu, and the other is Guo Linsheng, the master of the Gengjin Palace. But in terms of knife skills and speed, they are not as good as you. Look at this beef slice, it is really as thin as paper and can transmit light. Only in this way can the tender taste of beef be perfectly integrated with the dipping sauce and become the best taste in the food. ”

The abundant aura provides Yang Tianhong with abundant physical energy. The wonder of the knife technique is constantly understood in the process of slaughtering live cattle again and again. Now, with a single knife, he has been able to distinguish the strength of the cowhide, the hardness of the bone, and the slight difference between the beef and the meridians. In layman's terms, it means that the knife is wielded to release the force between the blade touching objects of different textures.

It sounds a little unbelievable, but with the three-fold difference in time flow inside the Linglong Treasure Lock, Yang Tianhong has indeed improved his cultivation speed by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. At least, to the extent that the Steelclad Storm was satisfied.

The relationship with the steel armor storm is closer, and the scope of Yang Tianhong's activities inside the grotto is also larger.

Today happens to be the fifteenth day of this month, and according to the custom, the Steel Armor Storm will leave the cave on the first and fifteenth days of each month to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon in the mountains and forests.

Even if it is a spirit beast that has achieved cultivation, there is still a faint smell in the cave where they have lived for a long time. Yang Tianhong didn't know if this was the common habit of all the spirit beasts and monsters in the world, or was it just the special preference of the steel armor?

It's not comfortable to stay in a stinking environment all day. Looking at the bear hair falling off the ground, Yang Tianhong scratched his head and decided to take advantage of the time when the steel armor storm had not yet returned to clean up the inside of the grotto.

The mountains and forests were full of clean ice water, and as a personal disciple recognized by the Lord of the Spirit Water Palace, Yang Tianhong also obtained a book of water attribute exercises. Cleaning the grotto with a stream of water using special manipulation techniques is an exercise that makes cleaning easier.

The transparent and pure water flow was introduced by spiritual power from the mountain stream outside the cave, forming a vortex in mid-air, repeatedly washing away the dirt inside the grotto. When the water becomes turbid, it will be guided by spiritual power to flow outside the cave and return to nature.

On the inside of the stone bed where the steel armor storm often lay, Yang Tianhong found some blood stains smeared on the wall, which had long since dried up and turned black.

He stopped the seal in his hand to control the flow of water, walked briskly, leaned down, and came closer to take a closer look.

It was a deep black stain of dried blood. Where the light hits, there is a faint purple tinge. Yang Tianhong carefully scraped some blood powder with his fingernails and crushed it in the middle of his palm, and found that there was a faint smell of fishy bitterness emanating from it.

Looking at the handful of blood powder in his hand, Yang Tianhong frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

In the No. 1 prison cell of the demon character, the dead Heavenly Demon King Zi Li left a copy of "True Spirit Record". Among them, all the secrets about the demon clan are recorded, as well as the characteristics, habits, cultivation points and so on of all the demon clans in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that this is actually a big encyclopedia about the demon clan.

There is a record of the spirit beast of the steel armor storm in the "True Spirit Record". When he received the order from Zhang Shuo, Yang Tianhong carefully checked the relevant content and knew that the steel armor was mild-tempered, so he had the extremely close and unsuspecting conversation before.

In many ways, demons are significantly different from humans. Taking madness as an example, the color of the blood in the body of some demon clans will also change. For example, the blood color of the unicorn Jiao has become lighter, and the blood color of the white rhino has changed to dark blue, and so on.

The color of the blood of the steel armor is also mentioned in the "True Spirit Record". It is not bright red like humans, but a more lightened sauce color. Even after the outflow dries up, it will appear light brown at most, and it will never be the black with deep purple that it is now.

There is no doubt that this steel armor is violent, and the mountain-guarding spirit beast of the Guiyuan Sect has been poisoned. Or should it be said that when this purple-black blood flowed out, it had some kind of toxin in its body.

The light coming in from outside the grotto shook, and Yang Tianhong turned around and saw the steel armor standing outside the cave, an incomparably huge figure.

"Before you, there were already six Guiyuan Sect disciples taking turns taking turns to take care of me here. ”

The steel armor carried a fat deer that had just broken its neck in its claws and threw it heavily on the ground. It walked into the grotto, sat next to Yang Tianhong, and looked at him with huge bear eyes: "You are the seventh and only one to find these bloodstains. ”

There are too many differences between Yang Tianhong and the steel armor storm, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up from the stone bench, but the steel armor storm buckled his shoulders and pressed it with a huge fluffy bear paw force: "Boy, you have a very good appetite for me." In front of me, there is no need for all that red tape. ”

Yang Tianhong had no choice but to sit down, spread out his palms flatly, and asked hesitantly: "Senior, you have already found these bloodstains...... Hmm, what's wrong with your body?"

The steel armor burst into a huge bear mouth and smiled: "My own body is in trouble, of course, I know best." To tell you the truth, these blood stains were left from the last time I went berserk. At that time, I didn't know what kind of madness I was in, I banged my head against the wall, and then I rushed out, and no matter what I saw, I wanted to pinch it to death and tear it to pieces. ”

"It was a strange feeling, and even I didn't know why, and my mind was full of thoughts of destruction and killing. It's like drinking too much wine and not being able to tell the difference. I wanted to rush across the rope bridge, but the disciple guarding the bridge was slapped away by me, and then the people from the Hall of Elders rushed over, followed by the female doll surnamed Liu in the Lingshui Palace, Zhong Yuanyu, that guy came a little slowly, but he has achieved great cultivation over the years, and his skills have increased greatly, and with the unique trapped lock formation of the Luotu Palace, it has indeed caused a lot of trouble to the old man. During the fight, they kept their hands all the time, and the weapons and talismans didn't greet the vital parts of my body. It's ridiculous to say that my mental consciousness at that time was divided into two parts. On the one hand, I felt very relieved, thinking that the disciples of the sect respected me very much as a senior. On the other hand, he felt so angry that he couldn't wait to kill, and he wanted to break the necks of several people, drink the warm blood, and devour fresh meat. ”

"The disciples of the Guiyuan Sect are not wastes who eat dry rice. Especially the lord of the Luotu Palace, the trapping formation makes it superb. Although the old man's strength has entered the realm of the Earth Demon King, he cannot resist the joint attack of as many as dozens of Yuanying Sect people. Of course, the most important of them is still Guo Cong's trapped lock formation. As for the rest of the matter, you must already know. I got stuck, and then I had this lock on my foot, and I stayed here all the time. All this was requested by the old man on his own initiative, and no one imposed it. The chains are strong, and if that happened again last time, at least ...... I can trap myself with chains so that I don't go berserk and kill my own protégés. ”

The body of the steel armor was extremely burly, and it was like a thick and tall mountain range, firmly blocking the light outside, becoming an insurmountable shadow in front of Yang Tianhong. Looking up at this guardian spirit beast that was regarded as a powerful support by the Guiyuan Sect, Yang Tianhong saw that the cloudy eyes of the steel armor burst exuded a faint melancholy and depth that only humans have.

"I'm a very gluttonous guy. ”

The steel armor tyrant didn't seem to want to give Yang Tianhong a chance to speak, and continued: "The old man likes fresh beef, and the way to eat it is also to follow the old man's master, who has already soared. Since the last time I went crazy, I had to double-check the food every day, but I didn't find any problems with it. The beef is still beef, and the dipping sauce is still the same flavor I like. ”

Yang Tianhong was stunned for a few seconds, and shouted desperately.

"Why didn't you report to the sect master?"

"It wasn't your fault that you were going crazy at the time, someone was deliberately poisoning your diet, and you have to find out all these people with bad intentions one by one. ”

The steel armor turned around, stared at the distant mountain peaks with deep eyes, and said lightly: "Doll, if you live to my age, you will understand that many things in the world are not as simple as they seem on the surface. ”

"The old man is a demon clan, not a human being. The explanation of coveting heavy treasures and killing people doesn't make sense to me at all. During this time, I have repeatedly thought that if the old man is crazy, he will definitely cause chaos inside and outside the Guiyuan Sect. Such turmoil can only benefit outsiders. Other sects can take the opportunity to attack the Guiyuan Sect in a big way, uprooting the entire sect and leveling it in one fell swoop. However, this is just the old man's speculation, and there is no evidence. ”

Yang Tianhong shook his head again and again: "Why don't you tell the sect master about it?"

The steel armor smiled indifferently: "Zhong Yuanyu, that young man, has enough troubles. He is the suzerain, not the housekeeper. I have already said that without evidence, there is no way to prove who actually poisoned my diet. Even if he knew that there was such a thing, what Zhong Yuanyu could do was nothing more than to investigate up and down the Guiyuan Sect, and the result was that everyone was in danger and chaotic, and everyone looked at others and imagined that the other party was a traitor and a potential enemy. ”

"According to common sense analysis, the last time the old man went crazy, it should be the best time for potential enemies to attack the Guiyuan Sect. But they did nothing, just lurked in the shadows, silently watching the situation unfold. I was subdued by Zhong Yuanyu and other sect members, and the loss of the sect was only a few outer disciples. In addition, there is no big problem in the Guiyuan Sect, let alone any injuries. ”

"It's not normal, it's really abnormal. ”

But if you look at it from another angle, the other party's latent contemplation becomes extremely far-sighted. After all, the Guiyuan Sect is a powerful cultivation sect, and even with such a chaotic main cause as me, the disciples of the sect still have extremely strong combat power. Attacking will definitely cause heavy casualties, so it's better to throw bricks and lead me to a poisonous poison. After the incident, the high-level officials of the Guiyuan Sect must carefully investigate the matter before and after. Once it is known that someone is secretly poisoning, all those involved will be implicated. Doll, I am not an ordinary hall master with an average identity, but the mount of the ancestor of the elders, the mountain-guarding spirit beast of the Guiyuan Sect. You can imagine how angry Zhong Yuanyu would be when he knew the inside story of this matter? He would definitely order a thorough investigation. At that time, it is possible that every disciple of the sect will be listed as the subject of investigation. Everyone is busy defending themselves and protecting themselves, so where is there time for cultivation? Where will they be vigilant against attacks by foreign forces?"

"The human heart is sinister, but that's it. The old man also deeply admired the hidden opponent who formulated the conspiracy plan. For now, the best countermeasure is for the old man to look for clues and explore secrets alone. Otherwise, once the news is made public, the Guiyuan Sect will inevitably be chaotic and fall into the hands of the other party. ”

It was almost noon, and the sunlight coming in from outside the grotto was getting stronger. Yang Tianhong looked up at the steel armor and saw that the fluff around the body of this guardian spirit beast was dyed with a faint layer of gold, and its huge body seemed to be shrouded in a divine halo, looking tall and holy.

This is the spirit beast that has truly achieved cultivation. The big picture is so clear that it doesn't affect others because of one's own selfishness. It's no wonder that the ancestor who has ascended from the upper generation will choose the steel armor storm to become a mount. And this spirit beast, which is already in the realm of the Earth Demon King, really regards the people of the Guiyuan Sect as his juniors.

Yang Tianhong only felt that there were many indescribable things churning and rolling in his heart.

It is said that monks are the most realistic and powerful group in the world. However, in the steel armor storm, Yang Tianhong clearly saw the determination and perseverance of being willing to sacrifice his life for the disciples of the sect.

"You, you don't have to. ”

The steel armor shook the huge bear head gently, and spat out heavy words from his nostrils and lips: "Since the old man has entered the Guiyuan Sect, he naturally has to treat all the disciples of the sect well. Poisoning, it's just a trifle. But the enemies lurking behind the sect and wanting to destroy the sect at all times must not be underestimated. As long as they cooperate with the mountain protection array, the whole sect is enough to fight against the two Mahayana monks. In front of the inheritance and sect, the old man has become insignificant. At any time, the Guiyuan Sect must not be in civil strife. Otherwise, it is self-defeating. ”

Yang Tianhong sighed and explained his inner problems: "But, senior, why did you tell me all this?"

"Because you're extraordinary. ”

Although the eyes of the steel armor storm are cloudy, the sharp and wise gaze is enough to see through people's hearts: "Although the old man has lived in the Lingxu Peak for a long time, he is very concerned about the affairs of the sect. The old man went crazy that day, and you performed well in the Hall of Questions. Kasuga's plot won a huge prize for his faction. The dispute between the five elements halls was also settled because of you. Although the old man didn't know anything about pills, the connection between the things was obvious. Since the last time the old man went crazy, nearly two years have passed. The old man found nothing, so he had to count on a smart man to come and help me. Hahahaha! Otherwise, why do you think that little fat man Chen Zhengjian would choose to retreat again and again? Why would Zhang Shuo of the Purple Furnace Hall arrange for you to go to the Void Spirit Peak to serve as a guard?"

Yang Tianhong suddenly realized: "All this was arranged by you in advance?"

The steel armor said proudly: "The old man is detached in the Guiyuan Sect, and it is not just a matter of one sentence to ask a few smart disciples to come over and help. Of course, the old man didn't call out your name directly, but just asked Zhong Yuanyu to send the best disciple over. As a result, they chose you. ”

As he spoke, the Steelclad Storm turned his gaze to the cave and stared at the blood stains on the stone wall that had long since dried up with a deep gaze: "This is the blood that vomited from the last time I went berserk. The old man has been staying, and there are many disciples who have gone to Lingxu Peak before and after, and only you have found the clues. Cultivation has always paid attention to the word "edge". This matter will be handled by you and you will be fully responsible. Remember, be sure to find out who your enemy is as soon as possible and find out who they are. ”

......

Guiyuan Sect, the residence of the suzerain.

After listening to Yang Tianhong's narration, Zhong Yuanyu didn't say a word, half-lowered his head, and released a fierce and self-reproachful gaze in the depths of his eyes.

"I'm simply the stupidest waste in the world, and I didn't even see that my predecessor was heavily poisonous. What virtue do I have, how can I take on the position of sect master? Even if I succeed in cultivating in the future, what face do I have to meet those sect ancestors who have ascended to the upper realm?"

Zhong Yuanyu's emaciated face was distorted by remorse, and he didn't care that there was such a disciple as Yang Tianhong in front of him, he picked up his fist, and slammed it into his chest and thighs again and again, and kept letting out a low roar of regret in his mouth.

"Please forgive me, a dull junior. ”

"The seniors suffered from the severe poison, I can't escape the blame, I can't escape the blame!"

"It's ridiculous, as a dignified sect master, I don't even understand such a simple truth as maintaining the stability of the sect. Dao Ancestor is above, once this matter is understood, I will voluntarily face the wall for fifty years as a punishment. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"

Without waiting for Yang Tianhong to open his mouth to persuade, Zhong Yuanyu had already stood up from the chair, straightened his clothes with a solemn expression, bent his knees, and knelt heavily in the direction of Lingxu Peak in the distance, and bowed continuously. His forehead collided with the hard bluestone slabs of the ground, making a dull sound that was clear to his ears.

When he raised his head, Yang Tianhong clearly saw that Zhong Yuanyu's eyes were full of tears, reflecting a crystal glimmer.

Suddenly, Sect Master Zhong Yuanyu took a deep breath and let out a loud shout: "Yang Tianhong, a disciple of the Purple Furnace Palace, listens to the order. ”

Yang Tianhong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took a thousand steps, arching his hands in front of his chest: "Please ask the sect master to command." ”

Zhong Yuanyu's expression was full of ferocity and determination: "I order you as the sect master of the Guiyuan Sect to be fully responsible for verifying the poisoning and madness of the ancestors of the mountain-guarding spirit beast steel armor of this sect. From now on, you hold the Sect Master Token and the Order Arrow, and you can call all the personnel and materials of the Guiyuan Sect. If anyone dares to disobey or obstruct them, you can order the arrow to kill them on the spot. ”

Yang Tianhong bowed his head and promised: "The disciple understands." ”
