Chapter 158: Secret Hermit
So the two followed the old woman into her store.
The old woman's shop seemed to have been unattended for a long time, almost unattended, and there were still dusty cobwebs hanging in the corners, and the smell of dust was everywhere.
Seeing the two of them enter, the old woman hurriedly took a rag and wiped down one of the tables and the bench next to it.
"Then my girl will sit down first, my store hasn't been cleaned up for a long time, there are almost no customers, you wait, I'll go cook for you!"
The old woman said earnestly, and then hurriedly got busy.
Seeing the old man walk to the back kitchen, Song Wanyi frowned and asked Ye Tianyue in a low voice.
"Sister, do you feel something strange here?"
"Isn't it strange from the time you came in here?" Ye Tianyue laughed lightly.
It's not weird, it's really weird if you don't think it's weird.
"That's what my sister said!" Song Wanyi sat on the bench and waited for a while, although the old woman said that she went to the back kitchen to cook, she didn't hear any sound, which made her feel a little curious.
"Sister, the old woman has been out for a long time, why should she come back now? She shouldn't be in danger of being eaten by some monster, right!? Song Wanyi felt a little worried.
"How so? I can understand that you say that the old woman is a monster, but I don't believe that you say that the old woman was eaten by a monster. Ye Tianyue's eyes came through a cold light.
"Oh, how did my sister see that? This wife is not human? Song Wanyi looked at her with a smile and a somewhat teasing look.
"It's very obvious, my sister must have seen it." Ye Qianyue had a smile in her eyes and looked at Song Wanyi lightly.
"My sister is used to making fun of me, but I'd love to see what this wife can serve us!" A curious smile appeared on the corner of Song Wanyi's mouth.
"Then let's wait and see!"
After a while, the old woman carried a huge basin and placed it in front of the two of them.
"I really can't find the ingredients, the two girls will use it!"
The old woman accompanied the smiling faces, then served them two bowls of rice, and then withdrew.
Song Wanyi glanced at Ye Tianyue, looked at herself again, and said with a smile, "Sister, be mentally prepared, presumably this dish will be hearty and unforgettable!" ”
"Naturally!" Ye Tianyue directly reached out and opened the lid of the pot on the basin.
A bucket-sized human head is placed in a basin and soaked in a red liquid.
"As expected, it's a boring trick." Ye Tianyue glanced at it and closed the lid of the pot.
At this time, Song Wanyi seemed to be used to being frightened, and her expression was a little numb, but she was not as frightened and fussed as she was just now.
"Sister, don't you see what this rice is?" Now it's Ye Tianyue's turn to joke.
So Song Wanyi opened the lid covered with rice as she said.
I saw maggots rolling in the bowl, wriggling.
Song Wanyi only glanced at it, then lay on the ground and vomited violently.
Her movement alarmed the old woman in the back kitchen.
The old woman came out with an apologetic face, clasped her hands and said uneasily, "I'm sorry, isn't the food I cooked delicious, I'll go and make it again!" ”
Ye Tianyue stretched out her hand to stop the old woman who was about to leave.
"It's good that you don't cook well without the elderly, but my friend is not used to the local food here."
The old woman's face turned from danger to safety, and she said happily, "Then you like it!" Eat it quickly, or the rice won't taste good when it's cold! ”
At this moment, Ye Tianyue's face turned cold, and her voice came faintly, "Old woman, it seems that you have harmed a lot of people..."
"Truly, you can see it!" The old woman suddenly bulged all over her body and turned into an ugly-looking monster that was neither human nor ghostly.
"You're really not a good person, I know!" Ye Tianyue summoned the Qinglian Sword, and a few sharp sword moves slashed down at the monster.
The cold light was like the moon, piercing the monster's body.
"Roar!"
The monster roared in pain.
"You don't eat what I cooked, damn you! That's my most precious food! If you don't eat it, you really don't know what to do, so you can just tie your hands and become my food! ”
Ye Tianyue sneered, "Do you think we, like you, will eat these things?!" Suffer death, monster, your turbid breath has exposed the fact that you have harmed many people! Today is the time for your death! ”
"Do you think I'm going to be caught? It's still too tender, little girl! ”
At this time, hard scales grew all over the monster's body, and the scars he had just received gradually healed in an instant, and at this moment, no matter how Ye Tianyue rushed towards this monster, he couldn't hurt his fur at all.
"Damn, it's so tricky!" Ye Tianyue scolded secretly.
"Sister, I'll help you!" Song Wanyi pulled out a sword that was pitch black, and the sword was wrapped in black aura, which made people look very frightened.
The sword seemed to have a magical power that instinctively terrified the monster.
Under the combined attack of the two, the monster gradually lost the upper hand.
"You sword... It's familiar, isn't it..."
The monster stared at the familiar sword in Song Wanyi's hand, as if he remembered something, and was about to speak, when he was blocked by Song Wanyi's unsuffocating sword.
"Sister, this monster seems to know the sword in your hand?" Ye Tianyue noticed this detail and turned her head to look at the people around her.
"My sister is too worried, this is just a sword from my ancestors. Maybe this monster has seen my ancestors before, maybe it's not certain! ”
"Oh, I see." Ye Qianyue nodded and didn't think much about it.
"It's just that the sword in your hand, sister, is really strange, I've never seen a sword like this." Ye Tianyue looked at the sword in Song Wanyi's hand curiously, she had never seen such a spiritual weapon before.
"It's nothing, this sword was once made by a master refiner, and it has been passed down to me for exactly a hundred generations, and it is already a thousand-year-old sword." Song Wanyi briefly introduced the origin of the sword in her hand.
"I see." Ye Tianyue looked up and saw the green luan hairpin she was wearing on her head, but found that the original blue and blue hairpin had dimmed and lost its light at this time.
"Sister, has this hairpin I gave you been attacked? Why does it seem that there is no aura anymore? Ye Tianyue asked with some curiosity.
"Speaking of which, I was careless, when I was traveling before, I was exploring an inaccessible underground palace alone, and for some reason someone suddenly attacked me, thanks to the hairpin that my sister gave me, I was able to block the man's cruel attack, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to stand in front of my sister at this time!" Song Wanyi raised her hand to take off the hairpin she was wearing, put it in the palm of her hand and stroked it carefully.
"It seems that he played a role and protected you... That's good. Ye Qianyue was relieved.
"It's just that why are you being attacked for no reason?"
"Sister, this is a long story, but I think they seem to be coming for this spirit sword in my hand." Song Wanyi looked at the spirit sword exuding black qi from her waist and thought thoughtfully.
"This sword does look familiar." Ye Qianyue only took a closer look at the sword in her hand at this time.
"Sister, have you seen it before? Why do you say familiar? Song Wanyi asked.
"I've never seen it, but your sword is really special." Ye Tianyue recalled that it had been mentioned in the original book that Song Wanyi's spirit sword was different in that the sword spirits of other spirit swords were all born from the aura between heaven and earth.
And the sword spirit of the Song family sealed an ancient demon in the sword and was driven by them, and the Song family has been a family of demons for thousands of years.
Every time the immortals and demons fight, the Song family will come forward.
And the main thing they rely on is the sword in their hands.
The demons are different from the human monks, there is a distinction between high and low blood, and the purer the bloodline, the more innate the demon clan will have the power to suppress the other demons in the bloodline.
Therefore, if you get the order of the ancient demon sword, the other demons will not dare to act rashly.
On the contrary, if anyone gets the Ancient Demon Sword in their hands, they can mobilize the Demon Clan to invade the Immortal Cultivation Realm in one fell swoop!
It turned out that this sword was in the hands of Song Wanyi, the young master of the Song family.
It seems that the invasion of the demon race ten years later has been premeditated ten years ago, and there are demons or immortal cultivators who want to make trouble, and they secretly opened the shackles between the two worlds with the ancient demon sword and other items that can open the seal of the two worlds of immortals and demons.
A large number of demons were released, causing the lives of the immortal cultivation world to be devastated.
It's just that this group of people hide in the dark like mosquitoes, flies, and bedbugs, and they don't see the light of day after all.
It is not a simple matter to find them out in this huge immortal cultivation world.
Ye Tianyue thought about it and decided to tell Song Wanyi, "This ancestral sword in your hand is extremely important, it is best not to wear it on your body on weekdays, if you accidentally lose it, I am afraid it will lead to some unpredictable consequences." ”
"Since my sister said so, I remember!" Song Wanyi nodded hurriedly.
"That's good!"
Ye Qianyue was slightly relieved at this time.
The two of them left the inn.
Walk along the wide open gates.
As soon as they stepped out of the city gates, a dark wind blew in front of them.
The black wind roared and howled, barely making it clear that they could barely see the road ahead.
The two of them activated their spiritual power to protect their bodies, and a moment later, the black wind blew.
They looked back, and there was some ruined town behind them.
As if nothing had just happened.
Before their eyes turned into a long and narrow road, leading to the foot of the mountain in the distance.
"It seems that there is only one way to go, sister, let's move on." Song Wanyi looked back, only to see that the road behind had been completely cut off by a formation.
"That's all it has to say now."
So Ye Tianyue and Song Wanyi followed this narrow road all the way north to the foot of Montenegro.
At this moment, a very muffled bell rang from the top of the mountain in the Black Mountain.
When others looked up, they saw red maple leaves scattered along the ridge like blood, and there was a small temple on the top of the mountain.
At the entrance of the temple was a huge bronze bell, and no one was there, but there was this sound.
"Sister, let's go up and have a look!"
Ye Tianyue nodded, she wanted to step on the spirit sword and fly to the top of the mountain, but she unexpectedly found that there was a no-fly barrier here, and they had no choice but to climb up with their feet.
The two climbed for about half an hour and finally reached the top of the mountain.
The doors of the temple were still open, but the bells were silent.
The two of them walked into the temple together.
I saw a huge round pond dug in the very center of the temple.
Four dragon heads are carved into the walls of the round pool.
The faucet spits a bright red liquid in the mouth.
However, the pool water is pitch black, and the double visual impact brought by the black background and red color looks particularly weird.
Suddenly, a strange wind blew, and the door of the temple hall was suddenly opened.
With the sound of "squeak", Ye Tianyue and Song Wanyi saw the Buddha statue in the main hall at the same time.
The expression of the Buddha statue is very strange, not like an ordinary Buddha statue, compassionate or kind-eyed.
At that moment, the bell at the door rang again without warning.
A group of bats flew down from the beams of the house and rushed towards the two of them.
Ye Tianyue raised his sword and killed countless bats.
Their bodies were cut in half and fluttered helplessly on the ground.
"Where the hell is this? I don't know where the exit is..."Ye Tianyue was thinking, the scene here was almost similar to the outside world, and it seemed that this place was not far from the exit.
The two of them stepped out of the main hall and walked around the next few guest rooms, and there was no one in the ruined town, just like in the ruined town.
"The exit should be here, but where is the exit?" Ye Tianyue was very sure that her intuition was not wrong, this place must be very close to the exit!
At that moment, she slapped her head.
All appearances are vain.
"I seem to have overlooked a detail, the exit must be under the fish pond! Sister, do you dare to jump with me? ”
Ye Tianyue looked at Song Wanyi, who nodded firmly at her.
"Of course my sister jumps, I'll jump!"
Ye Qianyue thought of a sentence in her mind at this time.
You jump,I jump!
"Okay, then let's give it a try, maybe this is the exit!"
Ye Tianyue walked to the bottomless pool water, closed her eyes and jumped directly without hesitation.
Song Wanyi followed and jumped in with her.
The next moment they both rolled out of the cave together.
It was bright outside, and the sun was just right.
Fresh, bright air was blowing in their ears, and the scent of vanilla was in the air.
"Sister, your guess is really right, we came out!"
Ye Tianyue chuckled.
"You're a little bolder this time, maybe you won't be so scared when you encounter something like this in the future!"
"Sister, don't laugh at me, I didn't know it was so scary! It's just a pity that we don't seem to have anything to gain, there's nothing in it, just some scary demons and monsters! Song Wanyi pursed her lips and said she was not very happy.
"Really? It's not all gained. I still have two souvenirs here..."Ye Tianyue thought of teasing her.
So he pulled out two white bones from his sleeve.
Sure enough, Song Wanyi was so frightened that she screamed and jumped up.
"What is this? Take it away, take it away! ”
"Oh, this is an elixir to replenish aura, but my senior brother has a bad taste and has shaped him into such a shape, why don't you take one?" Ye Qianyue reached out and delivered the two pills to her.
"Sister eat first, I'll eat later!" Song Wanyi still looked at her in shock.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous!" Ye Qianyue easily threw one of them into his mouth.
Song Wanyi relieved her mind and carefully took a piece of pill.
"Then I'll eat..."Song Wanyi confirmed again and again.
"Eat, eat!" Ye Qianyue urged her with a smile.
Sure enough, the aura felt that the spiritual power had been restored.
The two of them walked forward for a while, and in the bright spring mountains, a very inconspicuous thatched hut was revealed.
"Sister, should we go over and have a look?"
Song Wanyi walked in front to clear the way for her.
"Good"
The two of them walked forward, picking two handfuls of wildflowers on the side of the road.
I have to say that in this immortal cloud secret realm, flowers are in full bloom, and there is sweetness in the air.
In addition, there is abundant spiritual power here, and the clouds also seem to be extraordinarily free and scattered.
When the two of them came to the thatched hut, an old man with a white beard came out to meet them.
"Why are you here?"
Ye Tianyue bowed to the old man very politely.
"Uncle, the two of us were passing by here and saw a thatched hut here and wanted to see if there was anyone, and sure enough, there were people living there."
Ye Tianyue felt that the old man's body exuded extraordinary spiritual power, and it seemed that the identity of this old man must be unusual.
I saw that the old man looked at the two of them and had a smile on his face.
"Since the two of you are here, it's fate, why don't you come to the house for a cup of tea!"
Seeing the old man's warm invitation, they were not easy to refuse, so they followed the old man into the house.
"Uncle, I wonder how long you've lived here?"
At this moment, the old man was making tea for them.
"It's been more than two hundred years, I like it here very much, not to mention that the cloud tea in the mountains has a strong aura, and there are people here, I don't want to participate, the world is disturbed, and the endless battles also make me physically and mentally exhausted, so it's better to hide in this secret realm, no longer go out, but also happy to be idle."
"I didn't expect there to be a hermit like you here, but our juniors are disrespectful!"
The old man made tea for them, a cup for each person, the color of the tea soup is rich, the tea fragrance is fresh and sweet, and there is a faint aura steaming on it, which looks fragrant and pleasant.
"Where, it's not as talented as you juniors, I am a four-false spiritual root qualification, and it is already difficult to cultivate, coupled with the open and secret battles in the sect, I am really tired of this kind of life. If you don't want to be tired of running for the mission of the sect anymore, it is better to hide in this secret realm and not go out again. The aura here is strong, and my cultivation here has actually broken through to the foundation building period, otherwise the thin aura of the outside world, I am afraid that I have reached the end of my life at this time, and I will sleep forever. ”
"Don't you have any cares in the world?"
Hearing Ye Tianyue ask like this, the old man was stunned.
Memories flooded into his mind.
"There used to be one, but now there isn't..."
The old man smiled bitterly.
