Primordial Mad God

Chapter 12 Iron Bamboo Forest

The dialogue between Qu Bing and Ji Wei changed Ye Yun's original intention to pretend to be a fool and escape instead of stepping into the enemy's trap. The four words 'ancient talisman' made Ye Yun's heart beat faster.

In the history of Taoism, the art of talismans has a longer history than the art of pills, but the real talismans are rarely handed down, and most of them are lost in the river of time.Ye Yun learned only a few talisman seals to seal ghosts in the Dharma-ending Era of the Earth, and it was very laborious to draw them.

The real system of talisman and seal painting is very energy-consuming, and the mental power is not strong enough to even draw a single stroke.

The art of talismans and alchemy is also prevalent in the Soul Continent. Ye Yun wanted to know what the talisman of this life and star looked like, so he gave up pretending to be stupid and escaped.Under the guidance of Qu Bing and Ji Wei, he walked into the place of punishment through a stone gate engraved with a picture of Tai Chi.

This experience made Ye Yun extremely excited and shocked. A real Shimen, because of the Taiji diagram containing the profound meaning of the talisman, turned into nothingness. He just penetrated the Shimen directly.

"This talisman seal technique that penetrates the stone gate must be learned." Ye Yun whispered in his heart.

"Sinner, what are you looking around for? Why don't you come here to get the imprint token?" Suddenly, a violent voice sounded, awakening Ye Yun's thoughts from the talisman spell that penetrated the stone gate.

Ye Yun looked up and saw a short old man about 1.5 meters tall, with furious frowning and sparse eyebrows, and dissatisfaction in his small eyes with single eyelids.

"Grandpa, hello." Ye Yun said apologetically.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Grandpa? I'm only 50 years old, you should call me brother!"

The little old man frowned, his face was wrinkled like a ditch, no matter how he looked at him, he looked like an 80-year-old man.

Ye Yun was also taken aback. He is only 50 years old when he looks like this?

"Don't delay Lao Tzu's enlightenment, inject courage into this token, and then go to chop the iron bamboo." The little old man was very irritable, he threw a bloody token to Ye Yun, and then returned to the small courtyard with thoughts in his mouth. Inside.

Ye Yun caught the bloody token, and said with a speechless expression: "Is this old man really stupid?"

Whoosh!
Something came through the air, and Ye Yun was so frightened that he retreated quickly to avoid it. A black hatchet was stuck straight at the place where Ye Yun was standing just now.Ye Yun's face turned ugly for a moment, it was a deliberate sneak attack!

"Little bastard, I'm only 50 years old, and my ears are very good. If you dare to speak ill of me behind your back, the next knife will fall directly on your head!"

When Ye Yun was looking for the suspicious person, the little old man's gloomy words came from the small courtyard.

Ye Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the little old man just now was a strong man not to be underestimated.

"Don't just stand outside, take a hatchet and go to the iron bamboo forest to cut the iron bamboo. You can rest if you cut three roots a day. If you can't cut three in a day, you will die in the iron bamboo forest as fertilizer." The vicious words of the little old man It's coming out again.

Ye Yun frowned and stretched out his hand to pick up the black hatchet. He thought it was an ordinary machete, but Ye Yun felt heavy when he took it. This ordinary-looking black hatchet must weigh at least fifteen hundred catties, which is very is heavy.

"It seems that this iron bamboo is not a bamboo that can be cut easily." Ye Yun murmured in his heart, carrying a black hatchet and walked towards a distant area where black bamboo leaves were flying.

After walking for more than 500 meters, Ye Yun saw several acres of bamboo forest. These bamboos are black, and each root is as thick as an adult's thigh.Seeing such a thick bamboo, Ye Yun was stunned and said: "Is this still bamboo? It is thicker than ordinary trees on the earth."

Before entering the Iron Bamboo Forest, Ye Yun mobilized a force and poured it into the Scarlet Token.The bloody token was motivated by courage, and it boiled beautifully, and then it turned into blood and wrapped around Ye Yun's left wrist.

Ye Yun still knew too little about the Soul Continent, and he didn't understand what the Scarlet Token actually does.

Unable to figure it out, Ye Yun didn't think about it persistently, he strode into the iron bamboo forest.Suddenly, an invisible oppressive force appeared, which made Ye Yun's footsteps slow down.

Only then did Ye Yun understand the reason why this place will be the place of punishment.It is undoubtedly a huge torture to cut a thick and strong iron bamboo under this invisible oppressive force.Ye Yun was not in a hurry to use the knife, he was looking for other people in the iron bamboo forest, he was eager to know where to go to comprehend the ancient talismans.

Half an hour passed, Ye Yun was already sweating, but he couldn't find anyone.A thought came to Ye Yun's mind, could it be that Yuheng found a relationship and got rid of the other punished people in Tiezhulin?
Not long after this idea came up, Ye Yun denied it, because he overheard the conversation between Qu Bing and Ji Wei, this place will not be manipulated by outsiders.

"Could it be that no disciples from Tiankun Sect have been punished to enter the Iron Bamboo Forest recently?" Ye Yun guessed, and continued to walk deep into the Iron Bamboo Forest.

bang, bang, bang...

Ye Yun suddenly caught the sound of knives chopping bamboo and wood, and the feeling of fatigue was instantly thrown out of his body by Ye Yun. He walked quickly towards the direction of the sound.A tall and slender student with a soft back turned his back to Ye Yun, wielding a black hatchet and chopping the thick iron bamboo.

Ye Yun looked at the cut part of the iron bamboo, and couldn't help but wondered: "What's the matter? Is the iron bamboo solid?"

Whoosh!
The disciple with his back to Ye Yun turned around abruptly, pointing the black hatchet at Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was startled and said, "What are you doing?"

"You sneaked behind you, do you want to snatch my iron bamboo?" The slender boy asked with a vigilant expression.

Ye Yun was speechless. He patted the iron bamboo beside him and said, "Such a big iron bamboo forest, do I need to snatch it from you?"

"Hmph, you didn't intend to snatch me Tie Zhu, why are you sneaking so close?" the slender boy asked.

"What do you mean sneaking up? I just walked over here, okay? I was fined into the iron bamboo forest today. The little old man in the small courtyard threw me a knife and let me in without explaining anything. I want to find A fellow disciple, ask clearly about the rules and conditions of the Iron Bamboo Forest." Ye Yun said.

The slender young man noticed Ye Yun's clothes, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you even wear your disciple's uniform?"

"This is the second day I came to Tiankunmen, and I haven't had time to receive my disciple's uniform yet." Ye Yun said truthfully.

The slender young man's brows were full of astonishment, and he said, "What did you do? You were punished into the iron bamboo forest the next day?"

"What about you, why were you punished?" Ye Yun asked without answering.

The slender young man put down the black hatchet, and said in a languid way: "Let's not mention our mistakes to each other. Let's think about our mistakes here. Cut more iron bamboo to benefit the sect and repay the sect's kindness."

"Chopping iron bamboo, can it be regarded as benefiting the sect?" Ye Yun asked in surprise.

"Iron bamboo is a medium material for engraving talisman seals. Disciples who are hardworking in talisman seals need a lot of pieces of iron bamboo to learn how to engrave talisman seals every day." The slender boy explained.

Ye Yun was stunned. The talisman seals in his memory were all drawn on talisman paper. Why do the talisman seals in Soul Continent need to use bamboo as materials?And according to the meaning of the slender boy, the engraving materials of this talisman are divided into grades.

The slender boy wiped the fine sweat from the tip of his nose slightly, and said, "There are no rules at all in the iron bamboo forest. Therefore, some powerful people will come and snatch the half-cut iron bamboo in order to complete the punishment task earlier. .So when you cut iron bamboo in the future, you must pay attention to your surroundings, and it is best to go to a remote place to cut iron bamboo."

Only then did Ye Yun understand that the slender boy was so nervous just now.

Snapped.

Ye Yun patted the slender young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's cut the iron bamboo together in the future, so that we can take care of each other and be alert to the intentional ambush of powerful people. My name is Ye Yun, how about you?"

The slender boy frowned slightly, looked at the big hands on his shoulders, and said, "My name is Wu...Wu Feng."

"Wu Feng? This name suits me very well. It seems that we are very destined." Ye Yun said with a smile.In this iron bamboo forest, Ye Yun was not prepared to act stupid, a fool would not be able to get important news from others.

Wu Feng's delicate eyebrows were frowned, and he said uncomfortably: "Ye Yun, I'm not used to people patting me on the shoulder."

"Okay, I'll pay attention in the future." Ye Yun took his hand back and praised: "Wu Feng, your skin is really white, like suet. I just looked at you from behind and thought you were a woman."

"If I was really a woman, would you rob me of Tie Zhu?" Wu Feng asked with a smile, narrowing his eyes

"I have hands and feet, why do I need to grab a piece of bamboo from a woman?" Ye Yun shrugged.

Wu Feng smiled lightly and said, "It's because you haven't cut the iron bamboo yet. After you cut one, your mind may change."

Ye Yun didn't believe that the iron bamboo was really so difficult to cut, he bowed slightly, and the black hatchet swiftly slashed towards the iron bamboo beside him.

boom!
Ye Yun's knife with all his strength was enough to split the rocks, but did not shake the iron bamboo.Where the iron bamboo hit the knife, there was only a shallow knife mark.This time Ye Yun was dumbfounded, is this still bamboo?Harder than a rock?
"The bamboo here is called iron bamboo, and its hardness is comparable to that of iron ore. It takes two hours to cut one. Cutting three in a day is enough to exhaust a person's energy." Wu Feng laughed softly when he saw Ye Yun slumped.

"Can such a hard bamboo really be engraved with seals?" Ye Yun was deeply suspicious.

Wu Feng said with a mischievous smile: "You cut off one first, and I'm telling you how to carve talismans and seals on the iron bamboo?"

"it is good."

Ye Yun nodded and slashed with his knife. Under the oppression of the invisible force, Ye Yun was exhausted and panting for a while.Wu Feng, a slender young man not far away, was still chopping the iron bamboo with a knife, and he didn't show signs of fatigue.

"I underestimated Wu Feng, he must be stronger than me." Ye Yun underestimated in his heart, and started chopping bamboo crazily again.

Ye Yun is a very strong person, he doesn't want to be too much worse than Wu Feng.

Just burying his head in hacking hard for more than ten times, he finally cut the iron bamboo in half. Suddenly, Ye Yun heard the sound of footsteps approaching with keen ears, and it was not one person, but three people's footsteps.

"Wu Feng, we may be in trouble." Ye Yun stopped chopping the iron bamboo and reminded.

Wu Feng was stunned and asked in doubt: "What's the trouble?"

"I heard three people approaching here, and they seem to be coming for us." Ye Yun said so, and at the same time looked at the iron bamboo chopped by Wufeng. Son, can be cut off.
