Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and said:
"Back then, the Bone-Transforming White Snake bit me on the left side of my back, and its venom invaded my body. At that time, I was cultivating my Buddha, Heavenly Dragon, and Formless Divine Power. If I successfully cultivated it, I would have an immortal golden body. Unfortunately, I was transformed into a golden body before I could practice it. When bitten by a bone-white snake, the snake's venom invaded my body."
"My senior brothers and I worked together to seal the White Snake. We all used up all our magic power and died of exhaustion. Our Dharma Bodies were buried in the surrounding tower forest by the villagers. The reason why I am not dead yet is, It’s not because I have cultivated the formless power of Heavenly Dragon…”
Mu Wanyan looked at him in confusion and asked, "You said you haven't fully mastered the formless power of the Heavenly Dragon yet?"
Gu Yuan nodded.
Mu Wanyan asked again: "Then how can you live for so long two hundred years?"
Gu Yuan said:
"That's because the White Bone Snake bit me on the left side of my back, and the snake's venom invaded my body. In addition, I was practicing the Heavenly Dragon's phaseless magical power, so I entered the turtle breath state. By accident, I had it. This terrible longevity."
"Now that I have begun to experience demonization, I am afraid that I will eventually fall into the demon world and become an out-and-out demon monk! But before I become a demon monk, I will find the bone-turning white snake as soon as possible and kill it. After taking it, then... I will go and die in front of the Buddha's statue, and my merits will be considered complete!"
Mu Wanyan was puzzled: "What about the Buddha and the demon? Even if you become a demon monk, you can still conquer demons!"
Gu Yuan stared and said: "Buddha is Buddha, demon is demon, how can they be confused?"
Mu Wanyan trembled slightly, and then said: "Whether it is a Buddha or a demon, as long as he is a good person and has the heart to save the common people, it will be fine. I think you are pedantic. Even the Buddha would shake his head after hearing this and said You have a stupid head!"
Mu Wanyan stood up and left, leaving Gu Yuan in a daze. He seemed to be shocked by Mu Wanyan's last few words and could not recover for a long time.
When the wind blew gently, the golden ring on the Nine Dragon Zen Staff in his hand suddenly made a sound, as if it had received a call from heaven.
Gu Yuan raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, its rays of light lingering in the clouds, and felt lost in his heart.
Mu Wanyan suddenly remembered that her white horse was still left in front of Yuechan Temple, and hurriedly shouted: "Oh no, there is still my horse!"
After saying that, he quickly walked through the forest and galloped in the direction of Yuezhan Temple.
She searched outside the Yuechan Temple for a long time, but didn't see her white horse. She couldn't help but stamp her feet and cursed: "Qin Bai, damn it! You horse thief! How dare you take my girl's horse!"
Mu Wanyan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly ran towards Yuechan Temple.
Seeing that her white horse was still tied inside, she lifted up her skirt and rushed into the shabby temple. Unexpectedly, Qin Bai, the big-hearted person, dared to sit inside and bake something to eat.
While Qin Bai was holding half a baked bun in his mouth, Mu Wanyan rushed in and stood up: "Mu...Miss Mu, you are finally back!"
"You kid, aren't you afraid of death? Why are you back here?" Mu Wanyan scolded angrily.
Qin Bai said: "You don't have to worry that the white snake that turns into bones will come back again. It must think that you and Monk Guyuan will come back to Yuechan Temple, so it doesn't dare to come back and die. By the way, where is Master Guyuan?"
As Qin Bai spoke, he took the half piece of steamed bun from his mouth and looked outside the temple door, but the white-robed monk was nowhere to be seen.
Mu Wanyan said: "You don't have to look for him, that monk won't come back."
"Then where did Master Guyuan go? Have you chased the white snake that turned into bones?"
Mu Wanyan sat down next to the fire, and then said: "No, the white snake that turned into bones escaped, so Monk Yuan went to chase the white snake that turned into bones. Qin Bai, I think you are really big-hearted, you were almost turned into bones just now The white snake bit off two legs, now I'm in the mood to eat steamed buns!"
Qin Bai stretched out his hand to rub his growling stomach and said, "Miss Mu, there is nothing we can do about this. I am very hungry. The two grilled fish you grilled just now are dirty and cannot be eaten. But I have steamed buns, do you want to eat them?"
After he finished speaking, he handed her the steamed buns placed aside.
Mu Wanyan shook her head and said
He put his hand on his cheek, looking like he had no appetite.
Qin Bai added: "By the way, I also have the beef shank meat secretly made in my hometown, you can try it!"
After saying that, he carefully handed the beef shank wrapped in oil paper to her.
Mu Wanyan just took a piece, put it in her mouth and chewed it angrily. As she ate it, she felt that the secret beef tendon meat tasted quite good, with a hint of sweetness that can only be found in candied fruits among the spiciness. , can't help but have a great appetite.
When she thought that Qin Bai had hidden good stuff, she couldn't help but glared at Qin Bai who was standing aside. Qin Bai looked at her like a child who had done something wrong.
She frowned slightly, and suddenly her eyes fell on the azure blue bundle he had put aside, and then said angrily: "By the way, this Flame Turtle can't be kept at your place anymore, please leave it to me for safekeeping!"
"Why...why!" Qin Bai was puzzled and muttered in his heart. This Mu Wanyan was not a chivalrous woman, but she actually had the idea of her own Flame Turtle.
He actually stepped forward and took the bundle into his arms again, for fear that Mu Wanyan would snatch it away.
Mu Wanyan said: "You don't know good from evil! I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the Flame Turtle if it's left on you. Don't you remember that the Bone-Transforming White Snake wants the Flame Turtle in your hand? It will definitely come to you again. of!"
Mu Wanyan, a seasoned veteran, is good at tempting people.
"What?" Qin Bai was shocked and scared, but he still refused to give up the Flame Turtle.
"You don't want your life?" Mu Wanyan threatened him.
He thought about it and finally decided that it was more important to save his life, but he also felt that how could a man break his promise to his master?
So he shook his head desperately and said, "No!"
Mu Wanyan was almost mad at him, then rolled her eyes at him and said: "Anyway, I will stay in Yuechan Town for three days. I will barely protect you during these three days, but you remember that if I win Then Dong Feng Ye, this Flame Turtle is mine, you kid can’t go back on your word!”
Qin Bai nodded and said: "Of course! Of course! My master said that he would find the most powerful swordsmith in the world to make swords for him. As long as you, Miss Mu, defeat the Master of the Holy Sword Pavilion, you will be the most powerful swordsmith. I will find the most powerful swordsmith in the world." You are right to forge a sword!"
Mu Wanyan smiled, but she didn't expect that she would become this kid's bodyguard for no reason.
Qin Bai saw that Mu Wanyan was not as cold and aloof as before, and he dared to say a few words to her, so he asked in a nonchalant manner: "Miss Mu, why do you become a swordsmith?"
Mu Wanyan said: "There are too many injustices in the world, and I always feel that my brain is not strong enough to cope with it, but making swords is different. When I make swords, I can concentrate on it without any distractions. superior!"
Qin Bai smiled slightly, and then said: "Among the swordsmiths in the world, there are indeed not many women, and there are even fewer who are as beautiful as you, Miss Xiang!"
Mu Wanyan glared at him: "Hmph, how do you know that I am as beautiful as a flower?"
Qin Bai said: "Miss Mu, although your face is covered with white gauze and you speak coldly, in my opinion you should be a beauty!"
Mu Wanyan chuckled, and then said: "Not only am I not beautiful, I am also an ugly girl, so I cover my face with a white gauze! Otherwise, if I take off the white gauze, I will scare you to death!"
Qin Bai chuckled and said, "Hehehe! I don't believe what you said!"
Late at night, in the sword-making room, there was the clanging sound of iron. A group of disciples stood outside with ugly expressions, while four elders stood outside the door carrying broken swords and waited patiently.
The innermost stone room in the sword-making room belongs to the pavilion master Dongfeng Ye. He has been working in seclusion here for many days. No one dared to come forward and disturb him, not even the four elders.
They were defeated today at the hands of Jimo Flower Master Mu Wanyan, and they felt shameless to come to see the Pavilion Master.
The sound of the metal being hammered by the pavilion master seemed to be filled with roars and catharsis, and every hammer fell as if it was hitting them.
"Brother..." Du Wenke, the fourth elder, held up the jiaoshuang fragment in the long wooden plate and called out to brother in a low voice. Then he looked down at the elder, and gestured to the stone room with his eyes.
The fourth elder Du Wenke signaled him to persuade someone
To persuade the Pavilion Master, this slap was a hard slap on the Pavilion Master’s face, and he was defeated by a woman, which was even more shameless.
The great elder Zhu Lei raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and then summoned up the courage to call the Pavilion Master.
Suddenly, the hammering sound of the hammer in the stone chamber stopped abruptly, and the entire sword-making chamber became extremely quiet.
After a while, the heavy stone door was slowly pushed open. The disciples of the Holy Sword Pavilion standing behind the four elders lowered their heads and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads to look at the pavilion master.
Dongfengye, who was dressed in blue robes, walked out of the stone room. He was tall and straight, standing like a jade tree.
The four elders were also very worried. They all held up the broken swords in the sword tray and came to apologize.
Dongfeng Ye saw that all his life's hard work had been shattered into pieces. These were all his pride. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Jiao Shuang, the divine soldiers descending from the sky, the red gall dragon's chant... Don't we have a sword in the Holy Sword Pavilion?" Can you break Tang Shengxue that night?"
"Pavilion Master! Pavilion Master, please calm down! It's all our fault for not being able to maintain the reputation of the Holy Sword Pavilion for hundreds of years!" The four elders shouted in pain, looking up at Dongfeng Ye.
Dongfeng Ye's long black hair hung lightly on both sides of his handsome face. Because he couldn't come out of seclusion for a long time, and the extreme physical exertion when forging the sword, his face looked quite haggard. He bit the intervening lip lightly, and then closed his mouth. Mu sighed.
"It's not your fault! It's not your fault! Everything is my fault. Jiao Shuang, Divine Weapon Tiansheng, Red Dan Long Yin...these famous swords are all made by my hands and made with all my efforts. The sword I was once so proud of has unexpectedly lost to a sword forged by a woman!"
Third Elder Hang Wenyan comforted him: "As long as the sword forged by the Pavilion Master in retreat can defeat Ye Tang Shengxue, we can win the game!"
