Jade beads, like sword species, are Feng Zhiping's biggest secret, and few people know about it.

Compared with the sword species eaten in the stomach, the ornament-like jade bead is easy to be coveted, so Feng Zhiping has not revealed the existence of the jade bead to anyone so far, including the two Shuang'er, only Feng Mo Xiu guessed that this thing was extraordinary through clues, but that's all.

Everyone else who saw it thought it was Feng Zhiping's beloved thing, something like a talisman, and the bead itself had no spiritual power fluctuations, so it looked no different from ordinary jade, so no one had ever doubted it.

Who would have thought that today he was recognized by a strange old man who was not a human or a ghost, and he was still separated by clothes, but Feng Zhiping's first reaction was not surprise or panic, but certainty.

He was very sure that the other party and everything around him was his hallucination, born from memory and imagination, like a demon in his heart, otherwise the other party would not know the importance of Yuzhu.

"Give it to me. The old man stretched out his withered hand, his tone was soft, and the ghost fire in his eyes swayed gently, "Give it to me, and I will take you out of the sea of suffering, to the other side, and enjoy eternal bliss." ”

Feng Zhiping was unmoved, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his smile was playful.

The old man was very patient and asked softly, "Why, you don't believe it?"

Feng Zhiping didn't say a word, kept smiling, and there was more sarcasm in his smile.

"You think I'm hallucinating?"

The old man stood up, through the hole in his shirt and trousers, he could see the white bones and rotten flesh inside, his arms stretched out and raised his palms, as if holding up something, and with his movements, the already not very calm sea waves were surging, surging behind him like a wall, covering the sun.

"Do you still think it's a hallucination?"

The strong sense of oppression was so overwhelming that Feng Zhiping had difficulty breathing, even if he knew that it was an illusion, even if he had the help of the sword, he still couldn't help but be frightened.

Feeling almost, the old man slowly lowered his arms, and the sea returned to calm.

Relighting his pipe, he puffed out a puff of smoke, and he smiled wistfully in the smoke.

"Convinced?"

Believe you, a ghost!

Feng Zhi ignored it, closed his eyes, couldn't see it, and concentrated on thinking about how to crack it.

Time passed little by little, the old man's patience was worn out little by little, and seeing that Feng Zhiping was still unmoved, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and Huo Ran got up.

"What are you waiting for, don't give it to me quickly! Do you know how dangerous it is here, there are countless horrors hidden down here that you can't even imagine! If you stay for a long time and lure them out, you and I will both die, we will both die! What are you still rubbing!!"

Feng Zhiping opened his eyes, and the old god said: "Afraid of death? Afraid of death, you drive a boat? How do you do business so rigidly, don't you want money to die? Hey, I said, didn't you say that you are not a human or a ghost, you are still afraid of death if you don't die?"

The old man was angry: "When did I say that I am not dead or perishable? I only said that I am not a human or a ghost!"

"Is it?" Feng Zhiping tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It seems to be true, but isn't it true that people are not ghosts and are not immortals?"

"Of course, I..."

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end.

"What are you?" Feng Zhiping smiled and squinted, "Go on, what's the difference? Don't you know? Also, you are something born out of my memory, of course you don't know what Young Master Ben doesn't know." ”

"I'm not an illusion, I'm not a demon!" roared the old man.

"Then what are you?" Feng Zhiping asked with a smile, waving his finger and pointing around, "I was breaking through the Heavenly Lock just now, and suddenly I arrived here, and then you told me a lot of messy things, including secrets that only I know, if it wasn't for the inner demon, how would you know about Yuzhu? Don't tell me about mind reading, the young master believes in everything, but he doesn't believe in evil." ”

The ghost fire in his eyes flickered twice, and the old man suddenly calmed down, and asked gloomily, "Do you think only you know that bead?"

Feng Zhiping was stunned, opened his mouth, and closed it again.

He knew the functions of the jade bead, but if he thought about it carefully, he really didn't know what it was, and even those functions were probably just appearances, and he had never detected the real power.

They are all immortal treasures, how can it only have one purpose?

But if you think about it again, isn't this another proof of demons?

Yuzhu has always been a matter of his heart, often pondering and exploring, and over time it has become an inconspicuous knot, and now it is used by the demons, which makes sense.

Feng Zhiping was relieved, and he was about to speak with a slight smile, but the old man took the lead.

"Want to know?"

The voice was still hoarse and unpleasant, but full of temptation.

Feng Zhiping was stunned and frowned.

"You know?"

"Of course. The old man was very proud, the ghost fire in his eyes flickered quickly, "I don't just know what it is, I also know its origin, in addition to it, I also know many other things, such as immortals, such as demons, such as what is a demon and what is an essence, such as the six realms of reincarnation, I also know the mystery of eternal life, you, do you want to know?"

Feng Zhiping blinked: "I didn't see it, I'm quite knowledgeable." ”

"Huh?" the old man didn't understand, "what do you mean?"

Feng Zhiping nodded his forehead: "You came out of here, what you know is what I know, isn't your erudition my erudition?"

"Do you still think I'm a demonic illusion?!" the old man was furious, and the waves rose again, "I don't listen to good words, I have to teach a lesson, you really don't dare to kill you?"

"Well, you're really not a demon. Feng Zhiping nodded indifferently.

The old man was stunned, and then listened to Feng Zhiping continue: "The heart is chaotic, the most dangerous, and it is either dead or injured. If you were a demon, you should have done it a long time ago, and I wouldn't have allowed me to listen to your ramblings in peace, but you didn't. I don't know what you are, but it's certainly not a demon, if you guess correctly, you should be the illusion created by those inscriptions on the chain, and some of my memory fragments were stolen in the middle to let you know the existence of the jade bead, and you didn't do it because I didn't touch the ban, what is this ban, I generally have some ideas. ”

Reaching out to take out the jade bead, the index finger picked the rope to let the jade bead shake gently, Feng Zhiping smiled and said:

"You asked me to give it to you, I didn't give it, and you intimidated, provoked, and tempted, all kinds of means were actually for one purpose, so that I could come into contact with you. Since I appeared here, you and I have never had any real contact, and I think that prohibition should be triggered by contact, and if you want me to take the initiative to touch you, you can untie and attack me, right?"

That's what I just thought about with my eyes closed.

Feng Zhiping tried to find the flaws in the illusion, but unfortunately the illusion was too perfect for him to find, so he could only retreat and think about its purpose.

The Three Immortal Pagoda is for trials, not for killing, everything here exists for trials, and everything has its meaning.

The test of cunning is wisdom and force, so what is the iron rope to study?

Wind, thunder, rain and electricity, mountains and rivers and deserts, the inscriptions on the chains can create almost everything in the world, it can be said that the five elements and four spirits are all-encompassing, and step by step from weak to strong, little by little increase in difficulty, what is this not a trial?

The resentment walked a hundred and eight steps and was frightened away by the virtual image of the Buddha, which may be his inner demon, or the illusion of the heart knot being used by the power of the inscription.

I walked more than fifty steps and met the old man, and I had a reason with the grudge, it doesn't matter whether the old man is a demon or not, the point is why he appeared in this form in this environment.

What is your biggest heart problem?

He wants to kill his own real murderer, as well as the remnants of Huangquan who were hired by the real murderer.

The old man doesn't pretend to be anything else, just pretending to be this dead look that is neither human nor ghost, and he also made this large area of Huangquan bitter sea as a stage, doesn't it just prove his guess?

How else could it be such a coincidence?

After thinking about it a few times, Feng Zhiping had already analyzed himself thoroughly.

Old and immortal is a thief, the illusion appears in the image of a sneaky old man because of the scheming and cunning mastermind behind the scenes, the appearance of no man and no ghost is out of his own fear of the Huangquan killer who has become a monster such as Gou Anjie, and the Infinite Sea of Bitterness represents his current situation and lonely state of mind, and the old man asked for the jade bead because of his own worry about the loss of the jade bead.

All kinds of signs have proved that this is an illusion, relying on his own worries and fears and conceived a very targeted hallucination, figure out the joint, Feng Zhiping was calm in his heart, and very enthusiastically told the old man his analysis one by one, and secretly laughed in his heart that he could set up a stall to tell fortunes this time, and he couldn't do it by touching his bones, and it was no problem to interpret a dream.

The old man didn't say a word, he breathed out a smoke ring and listened to Feng Zhiping's nagging quietly, and when he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

Feng Zhiping was also laughing, and knocked the tip of his sword on the board of the boat and said, "It's okay, it's almost enough, no matter how loud you laugh, you can't hide your embarrassment." Since I'm right, let's let it go, I still have business to do, and I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you dummy. ”

The old man laughed even louder, touched the tears that were not there, shook his head, and said, "You, you, it's really interesting, it's been a long time since I've met such an interesting young man as you." ”

Feng Zhiping said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is another one behind me, if you let me go as soon as possible, I would like to let him come over as soon as possible, that person is much more interesting than me, you must be happier." ”

The old man put down the cigarette stick and shook his head slightly: "You misunderstood, I laughed at you for being funny, not to say that you guessed, I laughed at you for being ignorant, and you didn't know until you died, and you made up a wonderful dream to put yourself in, which is really interesting." ”

Feng Zhiping's face turned cold: "What, what I said is wrong?"

"It doesn't matter if it's right or not, why bother with dying people. ”

As soon as the old man's laughter stopped, he suddenly made a move, and his five fingers like withered branches were hooked into claws, grabbing Feng Zhiping's chest.

"Bring it!"

At the same time, in the outside world, the bodies of Nameless and the others suddenly shook in unison, and their colors changed in shock.

"What's going on?"

"Why did the spatial barrier of the Three Immortals Pagoda suddenly loosen? Where did all the spiritual power flow, and why did it deplete so quickly?"

Mr. Diao's face was full of worry, and after a few thoughts, he asked: "Dean, it can't go on like this, the idle barrier is loose, it may be broken at any time, and everyone has to be sent out!"

"No, the time has not yet come, and..."Mr. Yang's face turned pale, "Do you feel that there seems to be something in the tower devouring spiritual power, something that is not known to us and is not under our control." ”

Immediately Yao was surprised: "You also have feelings? I thought I was the only one who had it, but it wasn't an illusion." ”

Nameless opened his eyes, his face was solemn, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words:

"Find out!"
