cave.
Iron bars and cages.
Yu Ye sat cross-legged, but he had lost his calm look. I saw his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression kept changing.
Eight companions stood by his side; eight pairs of eyes closely watched his every move. But no one spoke aloud, or waited for his explanation.
In Xingkong Mountain, there is a group of lawless casual cultivators, led by two Nascent Soul masters, who are called Lai Brothers.
The old man who left before should be the cook of the Lai brothers.
And a monk from Qizhou has never been to Yanzhou, how can he recognize a cook who is millions of miles away?
Not only that, the cook seemed to be quite familiar with him. It's like old friends meeting each other, there is a tacit understanding between the two parties. But now everyone is in a desperate situation, facing life and death. Is this Birch's conspiracy, or is he hiding behind his back?
Otherwise, how to explain everything you see?
As we all know, he has strange magical powers, seems to be related to the artifacts, and knows the whereabouts of overseas monks. If Birch was a mystery, he was even more enigmatic in the wild.
But Yu Ye had no time to take into account everyone's doubts.
At this moment, he was also shocked.
Yes, he met an old friend.
The old friend was already dead and buried with his own hands. Unexpectedly, more than sixty years later, his dead friend appeared in front of him again, still alive and looking like a greasy cook. He couldn't believe his eyes, let alone call him by his name. The familiar facial features and manner of speaking clearly come from the same person. Especially the cunning look, the two are exactly the same.
Return to Yuanzi!
It was none other than Gui Yuanzi, or Taoist Master Guiyuan, who had come back from the dead!
But it’s still unbelievable!
And if you want to escape from danger, Gui Yuanzi is your only hope. Unexpectedly, he pretended to be ignorant and did nothing to save her. In a moment of desperation, he suddenly thought of a woman in red. When Gui Yuanzi was buried on an isolated island, a red woman appeared. Not only did she speak strange words, but she also behaved mysteriously. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, just treating it as an unexpected coincidence. And since Gui Yuanzi can be resurrected, the woman in red may be related to him.
The woman in red once said: He is scared to death. He goes around bluffing and cheating, fearing that people will settle accounts with him.
Sure enough, when he mentioned the woman, just saying the word "red clothes" revealed Gui Yuanzi's true identity. And as long as Gui Yuanzi recognizes him in the wild, the current predicament will turn around.
And Gui Yuanzi has been burned to ashes. Even if he comes back to life, how can he come to Buyeo Island and become a cook for a group of casual practitioners? Could it be that, as he said, he was afraid that the woman in red would settle a score with him?
However, the previous speculation was correct.
Gui Yuanzi was an expert. His cultivation level may be far superior to that of Xie Luozi...
"Brother Yu——"
I saw Zhan Kun cupping his hands and saying with a bitter smile: "Brother Yu, you are hiding it!"
"oh?"
Yu Ye glanced at Xie Luozi, Heshan, Linghu Bei, Xun Yuan, Mu Yuanzi, and Su Qiuzi, and found that everyone's expressions were similar to Zhan Kun's, including suspicion and wariness, worry, and helplessness. Even Yu Tianshi shook his head repeatedly, as if lamenting the misfortune of fate and the unpredictability of the human heart.
"Yu Ye!"
Xie Luozi stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said: "In the past, the grievances and grievances were nothing more than quarrels between lips and teeth. But brothers were jealous of each other and resisted their insults. You don't dare to collude with outsiders and put your brothers and sisters in the same family at a disadvantage!"
Everyone agreed.
Yu Ye was stunned and speechless.
Xie Luozi said again: "Our life and death depend on your hand. We must not make a mistake for a moment and suffer eternal regrets..."
"What the seniors said is wrong!"
Yu Ye raised his hand to interrupt.
Xie Luozi's expression condensed and he said: "If you have any concerns, you might as well speak up. As long as you and I join hands, we can overcome the difficulties together!"
Linghu Bei, Xun Yuan, Su Qiuzi and Mu Yuanzi all agreed -
"Yu Ye, you ruined my Tianming Dharma Banquet back then, and now you can ruin Yankong Mountain!"
"You burned my Nanyu City and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. It shows that you have good intentions and have a similar temperament to me, Xun Yuan."
"Well, what you did in Lanling City has shown your excellence!"
"Zhan Kun has been with you for decades, and I believe in his vision. There are no outsiders here. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter..."
Zhan Kun and Yu Tianshi also nodded.
Everyone is eager to know the origin of Gui Yuanzi, as well as the truth behind Birch, Zeng Kongshan, the Lai brothers, etc.
Yu Ye slowly spread his hands, as if he had no comment.
He also couldn't explain the origin of Gui Yuanzi, so how could he dispel the doubts of his companions? But in the face of crisis, we can't be suspicious of each other and get into trouble.
"Fellow Taoists——"
Yu Ye was silent for a moment and then said: "The cook just now is an expert from outside the world that I got to know back then. Whether he cares about his old relationship and reaches out to help me is unknown for the time being. But if there is an opportunity, I will never lose it. Everyone, please escape alone!"
"Brother Yu, I believe in you!"
Master Yu smiled in relief.
Zhan Kun, the four sect masters, and Xie Luozi also expressed their trust.
Yu Ye took a breath and wanted to respond in the affirmative. It is rare to gain the unanimous trust of several sect masters. It is an unprecedented first time. And he grinned, his face darkened, and he turned his back silently.
Dealing with people is tiring.
Dealing with a few mature old guys is even more tiring!
Regardless of trust or suspicion, it doesn't matter. The most urgent task is to wait for Gui Yuanzi to show up again, hoping to get his help and get out of the predicament!
Yu Ye looked at the bamboo basket outside the fence door and raised his eyebrows slightly.
This situation and scene can be compared with the cliff cave in Xuanhuang Mountain. It's the same as using living people to make elixirs, and it's also inhumane.
If there are people, there will be evil.
I was able to escape back then, but can I turn danger into good fortune today?
Yu Ye reached out and took out a handful of wild fruits and wild ginseng and threw it behind him. He opened the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine. He gestured: "The shochu will wash your stomach and intestines, and the spiritual fruit will wash away the dirt. Everyone, please—"
No one appreciated it and allowed wild fruits and ginseng to fall to the ground.
Yu Ye took back the wine bowl from the gap in the fence. He tasted it for a while, took a delicious sip, and then picked up the wild fruit and ate it.
Seeing him making fun and self-deprecation like this, everyone couldn't help but grimace and feel frustrated.
Yu Ye drank two bowls of wine, ate a handful of wild fruits, felt full, and closed his eyes comfortably. While he pretended to be content, his heart was not at all relaxed.
When I crossed the sea to Qizhou, I met a woman in red. When Yuanzi was buried, his remains were burned for no apparent reason. I was drunk and unconscious at the time, but I remembered something the woman in red said. More than sixty years later, it was finally determined that Gui Yuanzi's death was related to the woman in red. In other words, Gui Yuanzi faked his death just to avoid a woman.
Since Gui Yuanzi was an extraordinary person, how could the woman in red be an ordinary person?
I once met a woman, Shui Qin, who was also quite mysterious!
And when the Daze rivers and lakes are in turmoil, when the Qizhou Immortal Sect is fighting, it is really unimaginable that there are experts from this world who are watching with cold eyes and indifference to life and death...
"oops--"
A few hours later, the old man covered in oil and wearing an apron appeared in the cave again.
However, he was followed by two strong men.
I saw him approaching shouting——
"These monks are so cowardly. They were so frightened that they refused to eat or drink when they heard they were going to die. They were in vain for caring about my old man!"
The two men followed the voice and said——
"When you come to Shengkong Mountain, even a tiger has to wag its tail and beg for mercy, let alone a monk with no cultivation, a chicken or a dog!"
"Return to the elders, and return the items to the warehouse in full. If you dare to be selfish, be careful!"
"Hmph, my old man has been cooking and cooking all day, but he has fed a bunch of heartless things!"
The old man was called Guiyuan, but his name was not changed.
He walked closer to pack the bamboo basket and saw Yu Ye sitting in front of the fence gate. He grabbed a few fruits and stuffed them over, saying: "Yu Ye from Yujia Village, I have made a note of it. I will help you burn incense later. Peace of mind." Let’s hit the road!”
He dragged the bamboo basket back and kept talking: "This kid is so scared that a good person cannot become an immortal..."
Yu Ye seemed to be really frightened. He sat in a daze, saying nothing, but his eyes were flickering in the depths of his eyes.
"Has she chased her here?"
"who?"
"Hey, you kid, you dare to pretend to be confused, I mean Hongyi..."
"Oh, that woman is wearing red."
"She is dressed in red. Her name is Hong Yi. If she has been chased here, please tell me the truth quickly."
"Red? That senior wants to settle a score with you..."
"Ah, I have left a way out of trouble, take my leave..."
Gui Yuanzi dragged the bamboo basket into the cave entrance, and the sound transmission disappeared.
The two men walked around in a circle and left one after another.
Xie Luozi, Heshan, Linghu Bei and others stayed in place, not daring to make a sound, but after a moment, "Hula" came over.
But Yu Ye smiled slightly, as if he had achieved what he wanted, so he lifted up his sleeves and quietly spread his palms.
Not only did he have a few fruits in his hand, but he also had a piece of rag.
Gui Yuanzi no longer concealed the identity of the monk, and actually communicated with him via voice.
I accidentally learned the name of the woman in red, Hongyi. Dressed in red clothes, red handkerchief, and red umbrella, he actually lives up to his name.
It's a pity that he didn't explain it clearly, and Gui Yuanzi left in a hurry.
However, he did leave a way out of trouble.
Yu Ye looked at the rag in his hand, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
There are writings on the rag.
Is this his way out of trouble?
If an outsider wants to save people, he should directly break the cage and fight his way out of Xiankong Mountain. Even if he was informed, it would be a jade slip to convey the message. Who would have thought that he would repeat his old trick and only write a few lines of words in charcoal.
Xie Luozi stretched out his hand to grab the rag and said impatiently: "What's the clever idea of that master... The handwriting is so sloppy..."
Hemlock stood aside and whispered: "Let me identify one or two. Lai Mian is murderous, Lai Tai is good at alchemy, there are dozens of casual cultivators, and hundreds of pirates. Fuyu Island and Xingkong Mountain are where Lai's lairs are. Mian went out on business and will be back in three days. He owes me ten jars of wine, so you can take care of yourself..."
"Gone?"
"Gone!"
"What... does this mean?"
"That expert's help is limited to this!"
"He didn't say anything. How can you and I get out of trouble?"
Xie Luozi, Heshan and the others looked at each other, and then all looked at Yu Ye.
Yu Ye curled his lips with a bitter expression and said to himself: "There are no good people who practice Taoism, and good people don't practice immortality. The old cunning man owes him ten jars of wine..."
