Qianqiu and Yang Xian returned to the house, each poured a glass of water, and then drank a few gulps.
Then, Qianqiu began to talk about the situation in the Amitabha Pagoda, and Yang Xian nodded while listening.
Finally, after Qianqiu finished speaking, he asked: "Lao Yang, do you think this black cloth is a monster?"
Qianqiu looked at Heibu who had already fallen asleep in front of him and asked in a low voice.
Yang Xian touched the black cloth with his hand and said, "Ignore whether you are a monster or not. This little guy didn't harm you. I think he saved you."
"How do you say this?" Qianqiu frowned, not thinking clearly.
"I think the sounds you heard on the first and second floors of the Amitabha Tower are probably not ghosts, but spiritual beasts." Yang Xian guessed.
Qianqiu touched his chin and said, "But after I went up, where did those spiritual beasts go?"
Yang Xian continued: "Brother Qian, don't be impatient. Listen to me slowly."
Qianqiu hurriedly refilled Yang Xian's water and said, "Old Yang, please continue."
"Let's talk about the strange things you encountered on the first floor. Did those footsteps begin to disappear before the black cloth probed?" Yang Xian asked.
Qianqiu recalled it and said: "Yes, at that time I was still wondering why Hei Bu could come to me safe and sound. Logically speaking, he wouldn't be able to get through at all."
"If the source of the footsteps is some kind of ghost, surely he wouldn't be afraid of such a little guy? And based on the human bones and other things you saw on the second floor, you can tell that it's not a ghost. You have to know that ghosts don't eat people. , so this can also rule out the possibility of ghosts. Then the only remaining possibilities are spiritual beasts and monsters." Yang Xian said.
"What if the spirit beast becomes a demon and turns into a demon? Otherwise, how could the spirit beast eat people? There must be a lack of food in the tower, which triggers the spirit beasts to fight and prey on each other." Qianqiu said.
Yang Xian thought for a while and said, "I have seen the history of the Oriental Sect in the Sutra Pavilion, and there is a short section that records the Amitabha Pagoda."
"As the most powerful and important Amitabha Pagoda in the sect, how come there is only one section?" Qianqiu asked doubtfully.
Yang Xian replied: "Perhaps this Amitabha Pagoda is a place that the predecessors of the Oriental School have never understood or studied."
"You mean this Amitabha Pagoda may not be from the East?" Qianqiu asked in surprise when he heard this.
Yang Xian shook his head and said, "I can only make a guess. I think the murals and that person you saw on the second floor are recording some secrets."
"Oh, I don't understand either. I wish I had known and brought you in with me." Qianqiu said.
Yang Xian took a sip of water and said, "I probably can't understand it either, hahaha. Let's go back to the previous issue of the intake of spiritual beasts."
Qianqiu recalled it carefully and said: "No one feeds anyone in this Amitabha Pagoda. I wonder how these spiritual beasts or monsters can survive to this day. Even if they rely on eating the same kind or the people they eat, it is not enough." ah."
"Maybe there is a naturally generated energy supply in Amitabha." Yang Xian guessed.
"That's the only way we can understand it." Qianqiu said.
"Brother Qian, just now you said that the footsteps appeared and disappeared separately, and finally attacked you again?" Yang Xian asked.
Qianqiu nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Do you think this timing is strange?" Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu and said with a smile.
Qianqiu frowned and said, "What's so wonderful about it?"
Yang stood up first and said: "If you remember correctly, there are three points in time. One is when the footsteps gradually disappear before the black cloth appears. The second is when the black cloth is there, but the spiritual beasts on the third floor dare not come down. The third is when the black cloth appears. After Heibu left the Amitabha Tower, the spiritual beasts from the third floor immediately came down to catch you."
When Qianqiu thought about it, he nodded involuntarily and said: "Yes, that's true, so I said that this guy Heibu is not simple, and he can also jump out of the wall that I can't go through."
Yang Xian said solemnly: "Brother Qian, I think those spiritual beasts are afraid of black cloth. What do you think?"
"I have some feelings too, otherwise they wouldn't be like this." Qianqiu agreed.
"Also, do you think that the walls of the Amitabha Pagoda were blessed by the seniors of the Eastern sect? The black cloth has no spiritual power. How could he pass through it? Even if the magic master comes, he may not be able to wear it. Come over?" Yang Xian asked.
Qianqiu nodded and said, "Lao Yang, what you said makes sense."
"After considering all the things that happened to Hei Bu in the past, it seems that it is invulnerable to all poisons and will not affect the body no matter what it eats." Yang Xian said.
Qianqiu recalled: "When I first picked him up in Butian Valley, he acted very sad, as if he had eaten something bad."
"So, the problem is likely to occur in Butian Valley. Heibu's identity must also be related to Butian Valley." Yang Xian said.
"If you want to find out the true identity of this little guy, it seems you need to go back." Qianqiu looked at Heibu in trance.
Yang Xian patted Qianqiu's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Qian, Heibu is very dependent on you. In case..."
"What if he is some evil demon or some vicious spiritual beast, right?" Qianqiu looked back at Yang Xian.
Yang Xian sighed and said, "Yeah."
Qianqiu said with a smile: "No matter what his identity is, I will protect him. He is my brother just like you."
Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu's serious look and said, "Brother Qian, what I admire about you is your firmness towards your brothers regardless of anything."
"Lao Yang, what are you talking about? What you said is so outrageous!" Qianqiu said with a helpless smile.
After sending Yang Xian away, Qianqiu sat next to Heibu, took a sip of water, looked at the night sky outside the window, gently touched Heibu's head, and said softly: "Little Heibu, it doesn't matter if you are a spiritual beast. It doesn’t matter if you’re a monster, if you trust me, I will definitely protect you.”
The night sky is still and the night is quiet.
A masked man in black appeared on the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion. He stood by the window and said to a dark corner: "Long time no see."
"Long time no see, I didn't expect you to come anyway." came a message from the dark corner.
"How does it feel to guard this Scripture Pavilion for a large sect of the human race?" the man in black asked.
The man in the corner replied: "I'm willing to admit defeat. It's no big deal. I will keep my promise."
"Qiu Long, Your Majesty hopes that you two brothers will return to our demon clan as soon as possible to work together for a great cause." The man in black's tone suddenly became serious.
Qiulong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Is Ming Hong doing it for himself or for the demon clan?"
"How dare you be so disrespectful to His Majesty? Not only did you call him by his first name, but you also added a child?!" the man in black yelled angrily.
"Get lost! When I was fighting with the human magic masters all over the mountains and plains, you guys weren't even born yet! How dare you come here to teach me a lesson." The prison dragon in the corner obviously didn't like the man in black. He cursed back angrily.
His demonic aura brought some power to his words, which made the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion tremble.
"Prison Dragon, if you don't think about yourself, you should think more about swallowing the river python, right?" the man in black said.
A few beards slowly appeared in the corner, and Prisoner Dragon poked out his huge nose and said: "He brought it upon himself, what does it have to do with me? He deserves to be locked up for another hundred years."
The man in black smiled after hearing this and said, "Qiu Long, your brother was teased not long ago."
"Who?" Qiulong's originally closed eyes suddenly opened.
"It is said that he is a young disciple of the Eastern Sect who broke in by mistake." The man in black said.
Qiu Long said: "In this case, that young disciple's luck is quite bad. My brother is very cunning. He must not have any good fruits to eat."
"You are wrong. Didn't you understand what I just said? Your brother was tricked and deceived into taking away a magic weapon." The man in black couldn't help but smile when he looked at Qiu Long's proud and confident look. .
He likes to watch this kind of drama, especially the way the self-righteous seniors feel defeated.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Long immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible. How could an old guy who has lived for hundreds of years be deceived by a young boy? You must be trying to trick me and stimulate me to get out of here."
"Qiu Long, I'm not sure about other things, but I didn't lie to you about this." The man in black hugged his shoulders and looked at Qiu Long and said.
Qiulong asked suspiciously: "What magical weapon did that boy take? Is it the Dragon Subduing Ruler or the Divine Whip?"
"No, it's Wuwu Sword." The man in black replied.
Qiu Long breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I thought some rare treasures were taken away, but it turned out to be just a broken sword. What's the use of a broken sword? Just let him take it away."
"A broken sword is useless, but you also know the power of the original sword of Wuwu Sword." The man in black reminded.
Qiulong said: "There is no Wuwu Sword in the world anymore. How can mortals like them own such a magical weapon as Wuwu Sword? Now even if the hilt of the sword is picked up by that kid, it is still useless without the blade. "
"What if he finds it one day?" the man in black asked.
Qiu Long said: "What do you think the Wuwu Sword is? Is it papyrus? Are it all over the streets? The human race and the demon race have been searching for hundreds of years without any clues. How long has that kid just been a fledgling? Find the blade of the Wuwu Sword , It’s simply a dream. To put it another way, even if he finds it, what will happen? Is there any container in this world that can forge the Wuwu Sword? "
Qiu Long gave a series of reasons to refute the man in black.
The man in black smiled with satisfaction and said: "Qiu Long, you have been trapped here for so long, and you haven't said so many words, right?"
Although Prisoner Long was startled, he ignored the man in black and said, "Is the boy who went underground the one from the royal family of the Holy Capital?"
"No." The man in black said, "Huangfu Qingyu's weapon is a spear, how could it be a sword?"
"It would be fine if it wasn't him. If he took it away, the Huangfu family would be in trouble." Qiulong said.
