Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 354 The old case is now closed ()

Xinpo was filled with mist, and this was not the first time that Pei Ye looked deeply at this hazy jade mirror-like material. When he faced Jian Xinzhao on the viewing platform, he was already immersed in it as soon as he saw it. This time, the "grabbing" was obviously much weaker. Pei Ye looked at the hemisphere and felt a little dull and dizzy at first. He even had time to take away the bead.

But he didn't resist and allowed his mind to be controlled. Then, like falling asleep quickly after being extremely sleepy, he fell into this dream woven by candles.

A sword floated in front of him.

Although it is said that it was born out of Kenshin Shotu, it is actually completely different from the world constructed by Kenshin Shotu based on the cognition of the person who looks into the mirror. There is only a dark and empty realm here, with the black jade that reflects everything under the feet, and there is no sky or surroundings. There are only three elements in this realm - the person in the mirror, the sword, and the shadow.

A figure stood in front of him. It was a man in his thirties or forties. He had no color on his body, as if he was just a shadow cast by history. His figure is calm and motionless like a sculpture, holding only a sword behind him, but the sword is also a deep shadow.

Behind this figure is a sky-like iron wall, connecting the sky and the earth, cutting across everything, with complex lines outlined on it.

Pei Ye was surprised to find that even though [Quail Head] was not turned on, he did not lose consciousness.

But at this moment, the figure in front suddenly moved, as if the statue slowly came to life. In this empty and silent realm, this tall figure gently crossed the sword blade and walked towards him step by step. A sharp threat suddenly hit his throat.

But Pei Ye didn't rush to pick up the sword. He frowned and looked at the shadow, feeling a sense of familiarity growing stronger and stronger.

As the body moved the sword with each move, Pei Ye's thoughts gradually fell into a wordless silence. He felt that he was not experiencing his sword skills, but his death.

The shadow holding the sword has a mechanical calmness.

He often makes moves behind this body, defending when the enemy is attacking, and attacking when the opponent is defending. He does not use any strange moves, nor does he seek victory. He just takes the trouble to exchange sword moves with the opponent in a precise and orderly manner. It seems that as long as this body can use the sword well. More details, more clarity.

There is no physical restraint, and everyone here is in the most perfect state. No matter how difficult the sword is, as long as you have used it once, you can reproduce it here.

"."

"Who?"

"There is no time to worry about the debt. The progress is right in front of you." Pei Ye said weakly, "Don't just put pressure on me. Can you think of a solution?"

"Friends in white dresses."

When only you, your sword, and your enemy are left in the world, what else can you do except try your best with the sword?

"How are you?" Xu Chang looked at him worriedly. The young man looked terribly pale.

He felt the subtle movements of his body, and "Cut Bamboo Sword" was outlined in his mind with unprecedented clarity. This experience immediately reminded him of "Zhao You".

But it still requires "learning".

After all, this bead cannot record the consciousness of the sword master. Why is the sword drawn like this? How can the sword master read the enemy's moves? Especially in this process, the reader only gets the sword move of his own body, and lacks the outside world. Come to view.

"The cracks opened by the imperial edict are getting bigger again." Chi Ying's voice came from the belly, "Pei Ye, there are too many things involved in this matter, and it is not suitable for you to experience it yourself now."

Then the shape of the shadow in front of him became clear. This is what he looked like when he was forty-three years old.

Pei Ye suddenly understood.

Pei Ye suddenly realized the difference between this bead and Jian Xin Zhao. It does not deprive you of your memory, nor does it have the intention to test your innermost courage. If Jian Xin Zhao is a test, then this is just an inexhaustible bead. A stage with no place to escape.

After finishing the performance of "Bamboo Sword Cutting", Pei Ye once again felt more exhausted than ever before. The dull pain in his head had already penetrated. He endured another swordsmanship, and a sharp pain suddenly took him away from the soul-stealing bead. After being knocked back, the young man slumped on the chair while shaking, holding his head tightly.

This method indeed saves a lot of effort, and people no longer have to read a book of swords and follow a sword theory to constantly learn and make mistakes. It directly puts all the details about "correctness" in the mind of the owner of the weapon. Outline, as long as you understand and remember it, you can learn it.

This is the swordsmanship at the end of this disciple's life, and it must be the most brilliant sword light he can erupt in his life.

——Perhaps Qu Zhu really "deduced" such a bead to someone's mind that night seven years ago, but it is definitely not enough for anyone to learn a sword in a quarter of an hour.

After the sword of Yusei imprinted in, this bead has been filled, so when it shines into people's eyes again, it is no longer a capture, but an interpretation.

Pei Ye now believes that they did not give a sword rubbing to a living person that night, but in what way did the miracle of learning "White Rainbow Chapter" unfold in a quarter of an hour?

A swordsman watching his master practice a sword completely is a precious process in learning swordsmanship. Just "visiting it in person" is not enough to know what this sword really looks like.

"It's okay." Pei Ye reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, "If someone really learns the sword in this way, they will definitely lose many years of their life."

"." Pei Ye couldn't help but laugh a little when the wound hurt, and she was a little angry, "Don't bother me."

As expected, this body took action. The sword was extremely fast and dangerous, and it was half a body closer to the enemy than a normal sword.

At the same time, it is impossible to break through the upper limit of sword talent. Having a complete sword scripture can make you learn faster than climbing a wall and peeking, and having a master's careful guidance can make you progress faster than working behind closed doors. The soul-stealing beads only provide such a more accelerated way to learn swordsmanship, but you can always learn it. It can be learned, but what cannot be learned is still insurmountable.

".Pei Shaoxia!" Xu Shang pressed the back of his head, and the cool energy flowed in, but this was a spasm from the mind. It has been under heavy pressure and was forcibly overdrawn these days. This is the reward it deserves.

"."

Then he discovered that his body was not under his control.

The first moment the figure stepped forward, it immediately grasped the sword and stared at the enemy in front of it with tense eyes.

After a long time, Pei Ye relaxed slightly and gasped slightly with pale lips: "Thank you."

"I gave you the [Quail Head]. This is the Dragon Lord's spiritual power - you cannot live up to your expectations."

The kitten stopped talking.

Pei Ye retracted his mind and looked at the soul-stealing bead in his hand. He was now sure of his guess.

Coming from a White Bamboo disciple who was buried in an unknown place at an unknown time, Pei Ye was stored in this body, and every detail and power was reflected back to his mind. He could almost feel it when it drew the sword. Determination, fear, anger.

The shadow walked evenly step by step. This battle was inevitable.

"Rubbing" is a fantasy.

This is the "Bamboo Cutting Sword" that Pei Ye has seen.

"Then I can only ask for help. Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Pei Ye temporarily retracted his thoughts and looked back at the long note in front of him. He turned over the back and saw the inferences the man had left on the writing paper.

I have some thoughts about this record, which I will explain clearly here.

one.

Evidence in the case is temporarily stored in the Law Enforcement Hall. This is a rule that many disciples are unaware of, and the murderer planned everything before he started. After that, the sword bearer could come and go freely in the law enforcement hall, and he didn't even need to spend a few breaths to break the mysterious energy lock.

So in this matter, the Law Enforcement Hall has to be excluded.

When the man in the night house conspires with foreign enemies, I don't recognize his voice, but the voice can easily be modified. This person's cultivation level is higher than that of Xuanmen, and he dares to agree to steal the fourteen swordsmanships of Kongtong. Although the peaks of Kongtong are loose, but to create a space for outsiders to do such evil, his identity must be above the level of the peak master. .

Even, it is in [Lianxin Pavilion].

Second.

Based on what we have learned today, we can make a rough description of the enemy's appearance.

In terms of origin, this person was over forty years old, had advanced in Xuan cultivation, was proficient in the art of weapons, and had lived in Bowang Prefecture.

In terms of purpose, they seem to want to collect a fixed quality and quantity of swordsmanship and "teach" it to the same person so that he can achieve his "true body". When all this is completed, their "twenty years of business" are completed, and then they have to wait for an "occasion that is bound to come."

As for our traitor in Kongtong, it seems that the goal has been achieved at the step of "real body".

In terms of means, the people in the house said "but it wants to kill people". Perhaps before that, they had a gentle and covert method of collecting swordsmanship, which did not require killing people. They had been doing it for many years and completed a considerable amount of it. collect. But now they can't solve the problem of "bones but no flesh". On the surface, it seems that their sword skills are insufficient, so the man took out this bead that can steal souls and steal swords. Ji Feng was his first victim.

Third.

If there is indeed something wrong with this sword, then Xiaofeng actually did not make a mistake on Tiesong Platform that day.

"."

This is the most concise part. In fact, the man has gone to great lengths to list and infer many details, and the length even exceeds the previous records. He almost has a serious nagging about this matter, for fear that readers will miss some details. .

That's what this long note is all about.

But now Pei Ye and Xu Chang had the same question in their minds.

——Now that the man has investigated here, what will he do next?

Why did he disappear and these discoveries that should have been made public at that time are still buried in this study?
There are only two short chapters left in this notebook.

After finishing writing the long note, it seemed that it had just fallen into the night. The man at the desk thought quietly for a long time, then stood up again while looking at the night sky outside the building.

Before leaving, he left a line of handwriting:
The south wind was very strong that day. Since the cottage was open-air and there was little wind, most of them were sitting on the south cliff facing north. There were thick springs and waterfalls in the distance. Although there were many waterfalls in Kongtong, there were only a few within a short walk from the Law Enforcement Hall. [hanging sky curtain]?
Since they called my name, the two entrances to the hall where they put down the voice note paper may have been noticed. After I take away the writing paper, they will definitely check the sword, so I should go and explore first and leave Caiwu Peak for the time being.

Pei Ye actually roughly understood the man's thoughts. Unlike August, when he immediately reported something strange to the county government, the man himself was the powerful force that was "reported". He is the leader of a peak in Kongtong, a young man with a bright future who is supposed to support the space that should be supported. If people with such a status and talent do not dare to explore the fog, then the opportunity can only slip away in vain. The Heavenly Tower of the Tang Dynasty was not enough.

The man obviously also anticipated the dangers of this trip, so he compiled everything he gained tonight in such detail. These things were obviously not written for himself.

Facts also proved that his choice was absolutely correct.

The man returned the next morning uninjured.

He did keenly catch a gap exposed by the other party. Pei Ye didn't know what he saw. Maybe he really found the hut in the sound paper, maybe he found something else, but in short, he must have found it this time. A part of the truth is revealed during the adventure.

In the last chapter of the notebook, he left a long and final text.

The ink drops wet the paper, and you can almost imagine the man holding the pen in a daze. This is not an analysis of the case, but just the man's self-talk accumulated over several days after sitting alone late at night.

When fighting it, it seemed like I was back to those afternoons of sword practice with you, Xiaofeng.

I didn't expect it to be something like this. The person who designed it must be an amazing genius. No matter what he wanted to do, it already made me a little scared.

I have been practicing Qi Dao for more than ten years, and I can only make a tentative interpretation of it - then, maybe it is "pulling the thread".

A very, very superb weapon refining technique, using mysterious energy to connect the subject and the object, and completing the exquisite control like a puppet. I remember the master of weapons mentioned to me that in Shaolong, the highest achievement of this technique was a sword from the Immortal Platform. It's called [Jade Tiger] and is worn by a very powerful Hejian.

But can this technique be used to merge into the formation? I don’t know. My level of formation is not much better than your method of chasing girls.

But in short, no matter what technique is used to connect it, if a sword is to be used for swordsmanship, there must be a subject who controls it.

So Xinpo does this kind of thing.

The sword skills are stored and become a main body. But how many exquisite formations are used to achieve all this, I don’t know.

And you know what really makes me still a little cold?

They keep talking about "dragon bones" and "sword style", but if it is just a "bone".
(pause)
So I don't have time to attend your funeral, and I think you will understand.

There's a clue right in front of you - and it's going to take a lot of ephemera.

(pause)
You know what I've been thinking about these days.

I can't find the two men who killed you.

Maybe they are insignificant minions at all, disappearing into the lake like fish after doing their work. I can try my best to destroy this heavy conspiracy, but those two people may never be found again.

I've been thinking about why I didn't go there earlier that day, why didn't I see the note you handed me earlier? After a day's delay, the ripples in the water disappeared.

That night I called Jing Bi to the study and angrily asked him why he didn't tell me after handing him the note. I think he was frightened.

In fact, he has always been like this, not interested in anything except playing, but I think he will like swords when he is older, and then you two can spend more time together - he doesn't seem to like talking to you very much, but actually It's just that the child is awkward, but in his heart he is very willing to play with you "good kids" who are good at swordsmanship.

It's a pity that it's all empty talk.

Sometimes I even think that if this kind of case can happen again, then I will not miss this opportunity to kill them again.

(pause)
In fact, I know that it can be reproduced.

They said they were targeting the true disciples of [Liangshan Palace]. We don’t have to tell anyone about it. We can just use it once and for all. But I can’t do that, Xiaofeng.

Because only two minions were caught in this way, but the one who was in danger was the unknown friend.

I am not his master, nor his elder. It is not a chivalrous act to directly use others as bait or tool in such an arrogant manner.

Since you know someone is going to be harmed, you should tell him with all your heart; and if you want to win this fight, you must put the matter on the bright side and support the overall situation.

At this time, I no longer have the energy to find enemies for you. Sorry, Xiaofeng.

But I will use all my efforts to kill these beasts who indifferently harvest their lives as swordsmanship, and use their blood to pay tribute to you.

So he went to investigate Xinpo.

But doesn't he want to show it to the public? What about the overall situation to be supported? What else did he do before leaving Kongtong?
Xu Chang next to her covered her mouth again, tears rolling down silently. Pei Ye was silent for a while, looked away from the paper, and said softly: "Now, it has reappeared."

Xu Chang was stunned and looked at him with tears.

"So what they want to get this time is the last 'bone'." Pei Ye whispered, "Once this bead is obtained, the 'true body' will be completed. We must stop them."

Xu Chang reacted suddenly: "You said yes! Yesterday's Yan Caiyue was defeated and had an extreme temperament that was almost exactly the same as Xiao Feng seven years ago!"

She looked at the empty space and said, "Dai Shangyu won't care about him."

Pei Ye shook his head slightly: "Master Xu knows that Kongtong's standard sword. Is there any way to identify the sword owner?"

Xu Chang was slightly startled: "No, everyone is wrong in the same way. The first one is there."

"After the new disciples learn the first sword, the mountain gate will distribute the first Kongtong sword. At that time, the children will be allowed to choose the sword blade by themselves. They can engrave their own names on the end of the handle, but everyone will just If you use the Kongtong Sword as a training sword, there is no need to pay attention to it.”

Pei Ye gently raised the sword in his hand towards the woman.

It was the one he took from the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhang Jingbi held it and seriously injured Yan Caiyue under the old pine tree.

"." Xu Chang looked at him in disbelief, "Pei Shaoxia"

"You might as well open it and take a look." Pei Ye said.

Xu Chang took the sword and held the hilt. Under the master's Zhenxuan Qi, the hilt and sword blade slipped loosely from each other.

At the end of the sword, the hilt-shaped part that had been wrapped for nearly ten years was still white and completely different from the sword body.

At the end of the handle, a word the size of a grain of rice is crookedly engraved on it.

"maple".

"."

Pei Ye said softly: "Lingzi chose this sword intentionally, and he also knows its origin."

For Zhang Jingbi, who never had the chance to win his father's praise, holding this sword and standing on the lotus platform where the Iron Pine Sword Discuss was held was of great significance.

Xu Chang covered her mouth and lost her voice.

"On how many days after Ji Feng's failure was he killed?" Pei Ye asked after being quiet for a while.

"The next day."

"Today is also the second day." Pei Ye raised his sword, "Don't leave Master Xu. We will talk about it later. I have to hand over the matter to the Law Enforcement Hall."

"I'm with you."

"Stay here, Master Xu. These things are also very important." Pei Ye pointed at the notes they spent a day compiling.

".good."

When Pei Ye stepped out of Zhulou, it was already dusk.

There are indeed not many people on this peak. After Zhang Jingbi was gone, it looked even more deserted.

Pei Ye looked at the cold autumn peak scenery. Behind it was the dark sky and a touch of orange clouds, so the green trees in front turned into blurred shadows, and the weak light stretched from the edge.

Pei Ye looked back blankly, lowered his head and walked down the mountain in the dusk.

"Young Master Pei." Xu Chang suddenly called him softly.

Pei Ye stopped and turned around.

"Thank you." The woman said softly.

Pei Ye still remembered the mean and sharp look in this woman's eyebrows when they first met her. Now after a day of sorting out her late husband's remains, the sadness that belonged to seven years ago seemed to come out again.

"Since Mei Qing left, everyone has been avoiding me, this crazy bitch. Thank you for trusting Jing Bi to help investigate these old things that no one wants to deal with."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment. He wanted to say that he was just trying to find his enemy, but the sad look from the woman standing quietly under the dusk peak suddenly made him feel the same. A touch in the soft part of my heart caused a lump in my throat.

"...If a person has not done anything evil, he should not be harmed." He looked at the woman and said softly, "It's nothing, Master Xu. It's getting cold, so go back."
