Mao Qiqi was hesitating whether to tell Li Wan all the doubts and fears that he had kept in his heart for hundreds of years.
At this time, Li Wan seemed to have put aside the story in the painting. He was only concerned about one thing now, and that was what was at the end of the bridge.
At the end of the bridge is an island.
The bridge is built directly on the cliff on the edge of the island, and behind the cliff are mountains.
"How much does the builder of this bridge like mountains?" Li Wan turned around and waved to Mao Qiqi, motioning for him to come over.
However, he found that Mao Qiqi, who had just relaxed a little, suddenly became serious again.
No, it was more than severe, it was frightening to the soul.
Every hair on Cat Qiqi's body stood straight up, and there was infinite fear and deathly silence in his eyes. At the same time, a strange fragrance began to fill the surroundings.
Li Wan was also stunned at that moment.
There is someone behind you.
If there is someone behind you, you should turn around and see who it is.
But Li Wan couldn't do it.
He kept looking back at Mao Qiqi, feeling that his body had turned into Ishimaru again, petrified.
Not only himself, but everything around him, even the wind, even the sea water under the bridge, was also petrified.
This feeling, the overwhelming sense of oppression that caused drastic changes in the world, made Li Wan know that a big shot had appeared.
But why does this feeling feel familiar?
Soon, Li Wan thought of this feeling when he passed by Yuanjin Mountain that day and witnessed the grand occasion of the Immortal Lord returning to the palace.
Sure enough, he also got the same answer from Mao Qiqi's pupils.
Although there was only a silhouette, when he saw the half-human, half-bird figure, he knew very clearly who it was.
Since it was him, the oppressive feeling that made people unable to even turn around was reasonable.
This is indeed a man who can say no to himself.
Wait, is it a man?
Li Wan's heart was itching so much that he really wanted to look back! I really want to look back! I really want to look back...
——I really want to look back and see what the most powerful immortal in the world looks like.
At this time, Mao Qiqi trembled and knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said to the person behind him in an extremely humble tone: "Bad disciple Mao Qiqi, I have met Master."
That's right, the person behind him is the number one immortal in the world, the only perfect immortal in the world, the twelve immortals and Xu Hui's master, the sect leader.
But why did he appear here?
"Xiao Qi, after six hundred years, you still can't hold it back."
The man behind him laughed heartily and without any emotion. His words were plain and cold, and there was always something inhuman about him. But from the sound of his voice, he should be a strong man.
"Master...I...I deserve it!" Mao Qiqi raised his ashen face. He originally seemed to have something to say, but he understood that saying too much might not bring any good results, so it was better to bow his head and admit his mistake. , maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
"What do you have to say?"
"No, I have nothing to say. I didn't listen to Master's advice and broke into this place privately. Now I can't resist the temptation and pass through the forbidden area without permission. I am willing to be punished and ask Master for mercy!"
"Did the temptation you just mentioned refer to Ishimaru?"
As soon as the Master finished speaking, Li Wan felt himself move and turned around, but he just turned around. When he raised his head, he was shocked, not much better than Mao Qiqi, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. , not only the body, but also the ten stone hearts in the body stopped beating.
It wasn't that the true appearance of the cult leader was ugly or scary, but that the face hidden under the feather coat was very familiar to Li Wan, as he had seen it not long ago.
"You... you... aren't you..." After Li Wan exclaimed, he realized that he had regained his freedom in one breath.
The other part of what he didn't say was exactly that, aren't you the hunter brother in the relief painting on the bridge?
Yes, there is no mistake. Although the painting style of those paintings is simple and plain, they are very vivid. In addition, the man in front of him is wearing such a weird feathered coat, which is exactly the same as those in the paintings.
——No wonder this cat Qiqi has been coy and unwilling to reveal any information!
——The two perfect immortals in the world all claim that they attained enlightenment at the beginning of heaven and earth. They are born true immortals. They not only have insight into the universe, but they can also grasp the rotation of the sun and the moon. But what if they are not? What if the story in the painting is true?
——This is really the highest secret in the world, and it is really related to the benchmark for the operation of the entire fairy world!
——Mao Qiqi accidentally broke into this place and accidentally discovered this secret. He was so frightened that he wandered in the same place for six hundred years. He did not dare to go back, because if he went back, there was a possibility of leaking the secret and he would be silenced.
——What kind of intentions does Xu Hui have in deceiving himself into coming here?
Li Wan was a little flustered. Countless questions exploded in his mind. Every piece of information made him feel excited, every association made him feel uneasy, and a more terrifying premonition quietly crept into his heart.
fear.
Li Wan felt threatened.
I thought of something I had never thought of before.
--die.
So he didn't speak anymore, but stepped back.
Li Wan never retreats, that's because he hasn't met anyone who can kill him yet.
Li Wan was now like a prey that had been targeted by a hunter. He held his breath and widened his eyes. He thought a lot at once, and then suddenly went blank.
The eyes of the man in front of him under the bamboo hat were indeed a pair of frightening hunter's eyes. When he looked at Li Wan, he looked at his prey with an appreciative but completely ruthless look.
"Ishimaru." He called out Li Wan's real name.
"I don't know you." Li Wan, who was inexplicably flustered, answered the question incorrectly.
"I rescued you in the hope that you would make contributions to our teaching and become a pioneer officer, but why are you here?"
"...This is not because Xu Hui asked me to come!" Li Wan changed his mind and immediately took the blame.
"Oh?" The face under the bamboo hat pretended to be very surprised, and soon regained his composure: "Of course he was at fault, but you, stubborn and unrepentant, forced your way into the forbidden area, are you not guilty?"
"The ignorant are not guilty!" Li Wan tried to make a haha and brushed it off.
"Huh?" His expression changed slightly.
"I didn't know there was a bridge here, and I didn't know the story on the bridge was true. Besides, since you put it out there, aren't you just showing it to others..."
Li Wan spoke decisively, and Mao Qiqi, who had been silent behind him, suddenly shouted: "Li Wan, shut up!"
"Since it's a secret, you should hide it well so that others don't discover it!"
But Li Wan still said these words.
The face under the bamboo hat laughed wildly, and the feather coat on his body rustled with the laughter. Immediately behind him, there was a strong wind and rain, and there was thunder.
Mao Qiqi shrank back again, not daring to interrupt.
The man under the bamboo hat now spoke again: "But the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure is the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure. You are right. Since it is a secret, it must be well hidden and not discovered by others."
Repeating Li Wan's words, he sighed and said again: "It's a pity."
He gently stretched out his hand and performed a small, almost silent killing technique.
