Beiyin Great Sage

"Da da……"

In the empty underground passage, crisp and rhythmic footsteps sounded. The sound was steady and precise, as if it had been measured with a ruler.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

There was a sound of whipping with the long whip, and the big man holding the whip stopped and bowed respectfully to the visitor:

"Saint."

This is a prison cell or torture chamber set up by the Red Lotus Sect underground in Kunshan City. The small space is filled with various torture instruments.

The torture instruments were piled up everywhere, and the dried black blood could still be seen on the surface, which was terrifying.

"Um."

Under the tulle, Bai Fengyue's beautiful eyes turned, looking at the figure tied to the wooden stake with iron chains, and said calmly:

"Did you ask anything?"

"This..." The big man's expression froze and he replied:

"Holy Saint, this woman is stubborn and hasn't found anything useful yet, but don't worry, as long as you give the villain a certain amount of time, she can knead iron juice even with her steel and iron bones!"

"Yeah?"

Bai Fengyue snorted softly and slowly approached the wooden stake.

The Red Lotus Sect has many things to torture people, and the death whip is one of them.

The surface of this kind of whip is covered with a kind of barbs, and it is soaked in potion. When it is whipped on the human body, it not only causes severe pain, but also an unbearable itching that constantly tortures the human will.

Very few people can withstand such torture.

The woman on the stake had long hair disheveled and her body was covered in bruises. She had been whipped many times, but she still had a tough mouth, which was rare.

Bai Fengyue reached out to push her long hair away, pinched the woman's chin and raised her cheek, looking at the ferocious marks on it that looked like a centipede crawling over it, she said regretfully:

"What a pity that such a beautiful face was ruined like this."

"..." Liu Xinran's body trembled, her lips were slightly opened, and her voice was hoarse and weak:

"Witch, you must die a happy death!"

"Even now, you are still so sharp-tongued." Bai Fengyue narrowed her beautiful eyes, murderous intent flashed through her, and then she shook her head slightly:

"That's it!"

Putting down her hands, she paced back and forth in the field:

"It seems that you don't know who killed He Dong. It's useless to keep him like this. It's better to kill him cleanly."

"oh!"

"I forgot that you are a woman, and a very beautiful woman. Even if you look like this, believers will be interested."

Liu Xinran's delicate body trembled, and there was despair under her long hair. However, in her current situation, even if she committed suicide, she was unable to do anything.

"Hehe..." Bai Fengyue's laughter sounded:

"The Liu family has unavenged revenge, right?"

Liu Xinran raised his head suddenly.

Obviously, this sentence was far more effective than the insult she received, and even her dead eyes began to shine again.

Bai Fengyue stopped and spoke again:

"You don't know who your enemy is, do you?"

"..." Liu Xinran's lips trembled, her voice was sharp and full of desire:

"what do you want?"

"Who killed He Dong?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."

"Hey!" Bai Fengyue sighed, shook his head, and continued:

"You have been with the two ladies of the Lin family for so long, so you should be very familiar with them, right?"

"You want to use me to harm Miss Lin?" Liu Xinran's eyes were cold:

"You might as well just kill me!"

"What a strong-willed woman." Bai Fengyue patted her bare hands and praised in her voice:

"Don't worry, I don't need your help to deal with Lin Yunliu, but there is a person I am very interested in. His name is Liu Mengyan."

"If you can help me, this saint can not only tell you who is the culprit who killed your parents, but also help you get revenge!"

"how?"

"Liu Mengyan?" Liu Xinran looked at the other party blankly, her voice weak and weak:

"What are you going to do to him?"

"You don't have to worry about it now." Bai Fengyue put her hands behind her back:

"You just need to tell me if it works or not!"

I do not know how long it has been.

Just when Bai Fengyue was about to give up.

Liu Xinran nodded slowly.

…………

"Saint."

Returning to the ground, a person hurriedly greeted him:

"In the previous actions, the disciples of the Holy Cult suffered heavy losses. Elder Zhang sent people over to question the perpetrators. He said he wanted an explanation, otherwise he would definitely ask the leader to punish him."

"snort!"

Bai Fengyue's eyes were full of disgust:

"The old ghost named Zhang really thinks I'm afraid of him!"

"Saint." Her lower face turned pale:

"Elder Zhang's visit this time is not a good one, and he has always disliked your position as a saint. He is afraid that he will take the opportunity to slander you in front of the leader."

"I see."

Bai Fengyue forced down her irritability and said:

"Tell him and I will explain it to the leader himself."

"There is also the mark of the Holy Buddha. Elder Zhang said that since you have been here for more than a year, the clues have been interrupted many times, and there is no progress now. You might as well change someone." The subordinate reported:

"Elder Zhang intends to let his adopted son take over."

"Ha..." Bai Fengyue narrowed her beautiful eyes:

"The old guy named Zhang is really pushing his limits!"

But having said that, she also knew that the other party's strength and the background of being rooted in the Holy Cult for many years were far beyond the comparison of a new saint.

but……

As long as you get that person's Yuanyang, you can cultivate your girl's miraculous skills to the seventh level, and even hope to become an innate master.

When,

All obstacles will cease to exist.

Liu Mengyan!

"There's one more thing." The subordinate followed up:

"There are recent signs that Wu Tiantong of the Yellow Ant Army is coming to Kunshan City. This person is a martial arts madman and may be eyeing the Lin family's accumulation."

"It's just wishful thinking." Bai Fengyue shook his head:

"The Lin family's location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The family has countless masters who have cultivated Zhenqi alone, and there are thousands of people guarding and guarding the courtyard."

"Most of these thousand people are warriors. Wu Tiantong is just trying to show off his strength outside. If he wants to attack the Lin family, he will only destroy himself!"

"Um……"

After thinking for a while, she spoke slowly:

"But Madman Wu will do anything to achieve innateness. It wouldn't be surprising if he really has this intention. Please bring someone to contact him."

"We can join forces when necessary."

"yes!"

Subordinates should be.

The building is still the same building it was back then.

He is still the same old man as before.

It's just that the old man has gray hair and has forgotten Zhou Yi who once walked out of the library.

"please!"

Compared with a few years ago, the old man's attitude was completely different. He was respectful with a little enthusiasm, but he was no longer as cold and aloof as before.

"Zhou Huyuan, the token in your hand is exclusive to the eldest lady. You can choose any skill secret book in the library, and there is no time limit."

"Don't be in a hurry, just pick slowly."

"oh!"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, this was an unexpected surprise:

"Thank you."

He was the chief contributor to the Red Lotus Sect's previous actions. The timely communication forced Bai Fengyue to take action in advance, and also gave Lin Yunliu a chance to breathe.

It can be said that he indirectly saved the eldest lady's life.

High merit is naturally rewarded generously.

Since you can choose at will, the third level is naturally preferred.

As one of the few top aristocratic families in the world, the books on the third floor of the Lin family library are all top-notch in the world.

If it spreads, it can make a whole family prosper.

Many of them were even better than the Thirteen Styles of Chasing the Wind Sword Techniques he practiced.

but.

Compared to the countless techniques on the first floor, there are only a few bookshelves on the third floor. If they are narrowed down to footwork and sword techniques, they are even rarer.

The selection is extremely limited.

Zhou Yi rummaged around, coupled with what he learned from Liu Mengyan, and finally selected three methods that suited his liking.

Yubu!

This is a body technique.

The ancients looked up to the sky in an attempt to communicate with heaven, so they created bird-shaped characters because birds can fly and soar in the sky, so they can communicate with God on their behalf.

Yubu has the shape of a hundred birds and contains nine palaces and eight trigrams, which can be said to be all-encompassing.

If it is successfully cultivated, it will be possible to move around a few feet of land according to one's wishes, and it will not even be afraid of being attacked by many people, and it will be possible to advance and retreat freely.

Ten bloody battles!

This is a killing sword technique born on the battlefield.

This set of swordsmanship is profound and subtle, and its moves are mysterious and murderous. It is extremely powerful and is especially suitable for charging among thousands of troops.

Moreover, the more you fight, the stronger you become, so you can temper your body through killing.

If one cultivates it to great perfection, the sword intention and murderous intent alone can make people's liver and gallbladder burst, and achieve the goal of subduing others without fighting.

Condensate the Heart Sutra.

A method that starts from breaking through the barrier and exchanging blood, to refining the skin, refining the internal organs, refining the marrow, and even cultivating the true energy.

Moreover, this skill is peaceful and focused on accumulation. No matter what method is used to cultivate the true energy, it can be easily transferred without damaging the foundation. It is an extremely rare inherited martial arts.

Although it is not top-notch, it is enough to be passed down from family to family.

Looking at the three techniques in front of him, Zhou Yi was in trouble for a while.

Needless to say, the importance of body skills. If you practice a top body skill successfully, you will be able to handle danger with ease.

And he,

It is precisely the body method that is the weakest.

The Ten Bloody Fighting Styles are the first-class swordsmanship that is famous throughout the world, and Zhou Yi has perfected the Thirteen Styles of Zhui Feng, so there are many benefits to practicing swordsmanship.

With the Ten Styles of Bloody Fighting, you don’t have to worry about subsequent sword skills in the next few years.

As for the Condensing Heart Sutra...

As long as he doesn't want to stop at the realm of body training, he will definitely need it, but although this skill is good, it is not needed for the time being.

It's not that it can't be used at all.

Some of these methods of transporting energy can barely be used for reference, but unfortunately the really important parts have to be ignored.

But when I really cultivate my true qi, can I still obtain the "Guarding Skill" again and be qualified to enter this place?

not necessarily!

When the time comes, the Lin family may recruit people and give them other skills, but it will definitely not be without requirements, and it may cause unnecessary trouble.

"distressed!"

Zhou Yi gently touched his forehead and then laughed:

"The more troubles we have, the better."

Shaking his head, he picked up the Ningzhen Heart Sutra in front of him.

Body skills and martial arts are not in short supply, but internal skills and mental skills are indispensable as long as the true energy is cultivated, so we might as well take them first.

…………

Ghost alley.

It coincides with the rainy season.

Yesterday's drizzle had just passed, and the streets that were already covered with mud became even muddy. Figures wearing raincoats passed each other one after another.

The stench is overwhelming, and mosquitoes and flies are everywhere in the corner.

Zhou Yi, wearing a black robe, mingled among them and walked into a shop.

"Sir, you are here."

"Huanglongsan."

"It has been prepared for you a long time ago."

"Um."

After paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, holding the Huanglong San in front of the store and thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi walked towards Hengbaoju not far away.

"Your Majesty." Shopkeeper Huang stood behind the counter and greeted:

"Do you have Ganoderma lucidum in your hand again?"

"good."

Zhou Yi nodded, first took out the Ganoderma lucidum pill and handed it over, then asked casually:

"I heard that Lao Huang, you are still responsible for pawns and appraisals here?"

"Not bad." Shopkeeper Huang nodded, looking proud:

"I'm not bragging. Mr. Huang has stayed in Hengbao Residence for more than thirty years and has seen as many as eight thousand rare objects."

"In terms of eyesight, there are probably not many people in the entire Kunshan City who can compare with me!"

"I admire you." Zhou Yi handed over his hand:

"There happens to be something here that I don't know very well. Could you please take a look at it?"

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, placed it on the counter and unfolded it gently, revealing a black piece the size of a child's palm inside.

"Um?"

Shopkeeper Huang stopped what he was doing, frowned and looked at the thing in front of him, and asked:

"Where did you get this, sir?"

"I got it from a mountain folk who collected herbs. It is said to be a rare wild treasure. However, I have never seen it before and I don't know why." Zhou Yi said:

"Show it."

This thing is exactly what appears after the Ganoderma lucidum disappears.

It is dark in color, feels like flesh to the touch, is heavy and heavy, and is extremely tough, even with a sword it is difficult to split it.

This thing appears strange.

Zhou Yi checked it out on his own and even borrowed the herbal medicine books of several pharmacists in the Lin family. He still had no clues, so he had to come to Gui Hutong to find the answer.

"Ye Shan Zhen?"

Shopkeeper Huang touched Wuxiao and shook his head gently:

"I have seen a lot of wild mushrooms such as ginseng and matsutake mushrooms. This thing looks like meat mushrooms, but the weight is too much."

"Strange, strange!"

After weighing the piece of 'meat cheese', shopkeeper Huang took out a few small objects from the cabinet behind him and started playing with them back and forth.

Occasionally he would whisper something under his breath.

"jade?"

"No, it's too soft!"

"Could this feeling be the flesh of some kind of animal?"

"That's not right. This thing looks like meat but is not meat. It is indeed consistent with the characteristics of Ganoderma lucidum and vegetarian meat. However, it has no medicinal properties. Instead, it smells like death..."

"..."

"How strange!"

After a long time, Shopkeeper Huang finally put down what he was holding and sat on the big chair with his back, his eyes empty and a look of confusion on his face.

"Shopkeeper Huang."

Zhou Yi spoke:

"If you don't know, forget it, maybe it's a kind of game that no one else has seen."

"Um."

Shopkeeper Huang came to his senses and nodded:

"Perhaps, at least I have never seen this thing before. It's really... I was so arrogant just now. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly."

"Rare, rare..."

Halfway through his words, his cheek muscles trembled slightly, he looked at Zhou Yi and said:

"Sir, if you don't mind, could you please let me keep some? I know that this person has a unique vision and should be able to recognize this thing."

"This..." Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"That's fine, but this thing is tough, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to separate."

"There's a way." Shopkeeper Huang grinned, took a pure gold knife from behind, and slashed at the 'Rouzhi'.

It's amazing.

The 'Rou Zhi', which was difficult for Zhou Yi to cut with a knife, was actually cut open with a single stroke of the small golden knife.

"Give."

Shopkeeper Huang left a part the size of a fingernail and handed over the rest:

"Sir, if my guess is true, this thing may be extremely precious. I hope you can keep it well and let's talk about it next time."

"That's fine."

Zhou Yi nodded and took the ‘Rou Zhi’:

"I'll come back in three days."

"Um."

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and was startled when he saw Zhou Yi still standing there:

"Sir, is there anything else?"

"Ahem..." Zhou Yi coughed lightly:

"Old Huang, you seem to have forgotten something?"

"What?" Lao Huang blinked and then slapped his forehead:

"Look at me, an old fool, I haven't paid for the Ganoderma pill yet!"

After paying the bill, he watched Zhou Yi go away until he could no longer see his figure. The smile on his face suddenly shrank and he grabbed the piece of 'meat cheese' on the counter.

"Xiao Liu, you stay here, I have something important to meet with the young master's family!"
