“I… can I ask for something spicy?” Xu Dongqing asked weakly.
Qiu Yutong and Yuxin glared at him at the same time, “What did you say?”
The old man selling soft beancurd touched the bowls and chopsticks and smiled to smooth things over, “Hey, I have salty, sweet, and spicy soft bean curd. There is cotton cane sugar, old mature vinegar, fragrant soy sauce, chili oil, cooked sesame seeds, crushed peanuts… I can make whatever flavor you like to eat”
Yuxin glared at Qiu Yutong again and said, “Bring me five bowls of salty soft beancurd.”
Qiu Yutong said coldly, “Three bowls of sweet soft bean curd. Xiao- er, pay him double for the sweet soft bean curd.”
“No problem,” Lu Xiao couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he nodded anyway.
Xu Dongqing whispered, “Mr. Qiu, for my bowl I don’t want the sweet one, I want the spicy one.”
“Fine, it’s up to you,” Qiu Yutong said unhappily.
“The food will be ready soon,” the old man laughed with him, fumbled around and scooped out eight bowls of hot soft beancurd, then fumbled around again to put in various seasonings.
After that, he hesitated for a while, and said with some embarrassment, “Cough cough, I’m really sorry, could you please come and get it yourself? My eyes are not very convenient.”
Qiu Yutong was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at him intently, only then did he see clearly that the old man’s eyes were dull, he was actually a blind man! He was a little surprised and a little sympathetic; he couldn’t help but sigh, life in the world was really not easy.
Yu Xin was stunned yet she couldn’t say anything else so she just raised her chin slightly. Yu Zhu and another female disciple stepped forward and brought five bowls of salty soft beancurd.
Lu Xiao stood up and walked over, he brought back the three bowls of soft beancurd.
Everyone was really hungry, and they all buried their heads and ate.
Qiu Yutong took a mouthful of the hot, sweet soft bean curd, closed his eyes, and let out a sigh of relief. He opened his eyes and couldn’t help but glance at the red bowl of spicy soft bean curd in Xu Dongqing’s hand. He snorted disapprovingly, “You have to eat soft bean curd sweet, how can you eat this?”
Xu Dongqing coughed lightly, “Uh, it’s alright.”
Yuzhu looked at Qiu Yutong curiously, and said softly, “Senior Sister, is the sweet soft bean curd really that delicious?”
Yuxin said sharply, “It’s unpalatable!”
“But, Senior Sister, last time you said that the fresh meat glutinous rice balls were also very unpalatable. I ate one and thought it was delicious.”
“You little girl…” Yuxin glared at her as if she wanted to say something when suddenly there was a clear chirping in the sky. A snow-white carrier pigeon flew down and landed on Yuxin’s wrist.
Yuxin quickly grabbed the carrier pigeon, took out a small roll of paper from the copper tube tied to the pigeon’s feet, and walked to the side to look at it.
A female disciple murmured, “Why doesn’t Master use a message scroll? This is so troublesome.”
” Qingxia Temple is a small faction, where do we have so many spirit stones to buy a message scroll?”
Yuzhu secretly glanced at the senior sister who was reading the letter, then moved to Qiu Yutong’s side, and said softly, “Is sweet soft bean curd really delicious?”
Qiu Yutong blinked, his intuition told him that he could pull a traitor from the enemy camp, so although he was very reluctant, he still managed to endure the heartache and smiled slightly, “I haven’t touched this small piece next to me so you can scoop it over and try it.”
Yuzhu licked her lips, and sure enough, she scooped out the whole small piece of the soft bean curd. After tasting it, her eyes lit up, “It’s really delicious.”
Lu Xiao said coldly, “If you want to eat, buy it yourself.”
Yuzhu glanced at him, seemed a little scared and went back honestly.
Qiu Yutong glanced at Lu Xiao and was slightly dissatisfied, “She’s just a simple little girl, and she’s quite cute, why are you so fierce?”
Cute?
Lu Xiao lowered his eyelashes, his expression was a little gloomy.
But in an instant, he restrained his expression and said sullenly with a little grievance, “Shizun, why are you willing… Why did you give your soft bean curd to her? You obviously like it very much.”
Qiu Yutong said as if it were obvious, “She looks so young and ignorant, I can’t let her senior sister lead her to the evil path of salty soft beancurd.”
“…” Lu Xiao was silent for a moment then the gloom between his brows finally dissipated, and he felt that he had nothing to say, so he simply lowered his head and silently ate his bowl of bean curd.
The blind old man selling soft beancurd smiled and said, “There’s sweet, salty, and spicy soft bean curd. Each has its own taste, and each has its own benefits, so don’t worry too much. I used to fret over trifles, and argue right or wrong on many trivial matters. As a result, I lost a friend, which is very sad. “
Lu Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, “Has sir read books before?”
The blind old man did not answer, but instead asked, “Are you heading towards the Blood Prison Valley? Do you want to enter the Blood Prison Secret Realm?”
How could this old man who sold soft beancurd know the Blood Prison Secret Realm? Lu Xiao couldn’t help but frown and Qiu Yutong was also a little puzzled. Xu Dongqing blinked, Yuxin’s expression became extremely alert, but Yuzhu said crisply, “Yes, we are going there to find our Master!”
Yuxin couldn’t help but glare at Yuzhu, “Little Junior Sister, you…”
The blind old man stroked his gray beard and sighed, “Listen to what I’m saying, you should not go to the Blood Prison Secret Realm.”
Yuxin said unhappily, “What do you know?!”
Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, “Old man, why do you say this?”
The blind old man sighed, “Although I’m blind in both eyes, I am not blind in my heart. You have bad luck, I’m just afraid that if you go, there will be a bloody disaster.”
Cultivators dread mentioning good and bad luck, Yuxin immediately became furious, and with a “shing!”, she pulled out the bright long sword and put it against the old man’s neck, “You blind man, you are definitely not a soft beancurd seller! Who sent you?!”
The blind old man sighed, gently pulled away the sharp sword, and muttered, “The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, whether you believe it or not…
While murmuring, he silently packed up the soft beancurd, and shook along the road towards the east.
Qiu Yutong stared blankly at the hunched little back, and always felt that in the last sentence, he seemed to have heard someone mention it before… The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, The secrets of heaven are unpredictable…
Lu Xiao said softly, “Shizun, this person is very strange. Is there such a top person in the cultivation world?”
“I don’t know.” Qiu Yutong shook his head, “I just think that his words sound a bit familiar… Forget it, I can’t remember.”
The cultivators from Qingxia Temple rested for a while. Seeing that the sun was gradually moving westward, they packed up and set out on the road again. Qiu Yutong and his party also got back onto the carriage. They were neither near or far from the cultivators from Qingxia Temple. Although Yuxin was very unhappy, there was nothing she could do. Yuzhu turned her head back and forth curiously.
Two groups of people traveled together one after the other. If one continued their journey,the other would continue too, if one stopped, the other would also stop. After five or six days, they arrived at a mountain. This mountain was quite high, and the cedars and spruces all over the mountain covered the sun closely, and the forest was very dark.
The mountain road was rough, the carriage could not continue, and Lu Xiao’s injury was much better, so he gave five taels of silver and sent the stable lad away.
The female cultivators of Qingxia Temple climbed to the middle of the mountain and stopped on a flat ground.
“Crossing this mountain, the mouth of Blood Prison Valley is in front. Master said in the letter to wait for her here, and she will come to pick us up with her sword in hand.” As Yuxin spoke, she glared at Qiu Yutong who was not far away. Her eyes seemed to say, what are you staring at, how come you are still following us!
Qiu Yutong touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn’t help it. He didn’t meet any other cultivators on the road, so he could only follow the female cultivators of Qingxia Temple.
Not long after, a soft sound of was heard, a faint silver light flashed in the air, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a Taoist nun, with a sword fluttered down. She looked about forty-years-old, and her face was graceful and kind; she had the grace of an immortal.
The female disciples said in unison, “Master!”
Qiu Yutong knew in his heart that this graceful gray-clothed Taoist nun was the master of Qingxia Temple, Spiritual Master Mianyun. Although the cultivation level of Spiritual Master Mianyun was not very high, she was very fair and had some reputation in the cultivation world.
Spiritual Master Mianyun lightly glanced at Qiu Yutong and the three of them, she frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything. She turned her head to her several disciples and said, “Master Wuchen gave me three jade tokens for access, I have already thought about it and this time, I will bring Yuxin and Yuzhu into the secret realm.”
Yuxin and Yuzhu showed joy on their faces, and said in unison, “Thank you, Master!”
Although the other female disciples were a little disappointed, they didn’t say anything. After all, Yuxin was the senior sister with the highest cultivation level, and Yuzhu was the youngest junior sister with the best roots. It’s quite normal for Spiritual Master Mianyun to bring them both to the Blood Prison Secret Realm.
Spiritual Master Mianyun took out three jade tokens, showed Yuxin and Yuzhu, and put them in her arms. “Within the valley below will be the entrance to the Blood Prison Secret Realm, as long as you crush the jade tokens, you will immediately fall into the secret realm. I’ll keep these three jade tokens first, and they will be given to you when you enter.”
Yuzhu blinked, “Master, when are we going in?”
“Master Wuchen and City Lord Xie are both in the valley below. After we enter the valley and join them, we will enter the secret realm together, which is safer. It is said that if we enter the secret realm in the same place, we will fall into the same place in the secret realm. If you encounter any monsters suddenly, there are powerful people who will take action to solve them,” Spiritual Master Mianyun explained slowly.
Qiu Yutong felt a little joy in his heart, Sect Leader was in the valley below!
At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked up suddenly.
Someone was up there!
Spiritual Master Mianyun also stopped abruptly, and then sternly said, “Which thief is sneaky? Get out of here!”
A green-clothed youth gently and skillfully fell from a huge spruce tree, and said with a crisp laugh, “Spiritual Master Mianyun, I’m not sure if your two delicate disciples will be able to get out if they enter the Blood Prison Secret Realm. It’s better to give these three jade tokens to me!”
Qiu Yutong lost his voice: “Palace of Extreme Bliss?!”
This green-clothed youth who fell from the tree was exactly Xue Huairou, the master of the Palace of Extreme Bliss! Qiu Yutong had seen this person in Medicine Monarch Manor, and he recognized him at a glance.
According to legend, the master of the Palace of Extreme Bliss, who cultivated Romantic Dao, was an eccentric person over five hundred years old, but he looked like he was no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.
Xue Huairou landed on the ground lightly, with a pair of slender and charming eyes narrowed at Spiritual Master Mianyun. At the same time he stretched out a pure white palm, “Jade token.”
Spiritual Master Mianyun said sternly, “You sorcerer who is neither male nor female, since Master Wuchen doesn’t want to give you a jade token, why are you asking me?”
Xue Huairou’s face changed slightly, and then he sneered, his slender fingers were like iron hooks, and he suddenly clawed through the air!
Following his savage movement, five phantoms of blood-colored claws suddenly appeared in the air, and covered the entire body of Spiritual Master Mianyun!
The disciples exclaimed in unison, “Master, be careful!”
“It’s just a minor accomplishment!” Spiritual Master Mianyun didn’t flinch, she pulled out her long sword and her entire person leaped up. The sharp sword light crisscrossed and shredded the bloody phantom in an instant! But she didn’t stop, and went straight to Xue Huairou!
Xue Huairou sneered, “Old woman, aren’t you afraid of death?”
In an instant, a gray and a green shadow twisted together! In less than a moment, the two had exchanged several hundred moves!
“Ah!” Xue Huairou suddenly cried out in pain!
Spiritual Master Mianyun spun quickly, gently fell to the side, and said with a sneer, “You are nothing more than this!”
Xue Huairou clutched his left shoulder tightly, blood gurgled from between his fingers. He staggered slightly, then grinned, “Old woman, why don’t you touch your neck?”
Spiritual Master Mianyun was stunned for a moment, and before she raised her hand, she collapsed softly.
Qiu Yutong could see clearly that there were five extremely tiny black blood spots on the side of her neck – Xue Huairou had poisoned his nails!
Xue Huairou sneered and stepped forward to search for the jade token on her body!
“Stop there!!” Yu Xin knew that today’s incident might be difficult to deal with and her face became extremely pale, but she still pulled out her long sword and stood in front of Spiritual Master Mianyun.
And Yuzhu threw herself on Spiritual Master Mianyun and cried, “Ma, Master!”
“Two stinky bitches, go accompany the old woman!” Xue Huairou impatiently stretched out his hand and summoned, and with an extremely harsh sound, a dazzling curved knife shot down from the sky!
The knife swirled fiercely, flashed a dazzling light, and slashed diagonally towards Yuxin and Yuzhu! Seeing that, the two girls would be split in two!
But no blood spattered.
At the critical moment, Qiu Yutong suddenly raised his spiritual power, leaped forward, grabbed the long sword on Yuzhu’s waist, and slashed with the sword. The sword energy was aimed straight at Xue Huairou’s chest!
This sword energy was like a rainbow with murderous aura, and it had no intention of defense. It turned out to be an utmost offense!
It’s just that his move seemed deadly, but in fact, it was so the enemy had no choice but to defend. As expected, Xue Huairou took three steps back in a row, and with a long, sharp whistle, the knife bypassed the two female cultivators and suddenly turned around in a big circle. With a clang, Qiu Yutong’s long sword was blocked!
Qiu Yutong took back the long sword, jumped back, and shoved a jade bead to them, “Hurry up! Go into the valley to find Master Wuchen and the others!”
“But, but…”
“It’s useless for you to stay here!” Qiu Yutong hurriedly said while resisting the knife.
“Yuzhu, let’s go!” Yuxin gritted her teeth, carried Spritual Master Mianyun on her back, and called several female disciples. The five of them hurried along the Yangchang Mountain Road and hurried down the mountain to the valley.
Xue Huairou tried to chase after them, but he was blocked by Qiu Yutong over and over again, and he couldn’t get out. He was extremely annoyed, the knife flashed, and he frequently used killing moves!
Qiu Yutong resisted casually, while secretly complaining. Although his swordsmanship was extremely exquisite, his spiritual power was very meager. If this went on, he was afraid he wouldn’t last long! It’s nothing to him, but what about Lu Xiao and Xu Dongqing?
He couldn’t help but look at Lu Xiao, and his heart shuddered slightly. It turned out that Lu Xiao had already picked up a long sword and quietly went around behind Xue Huairou, looking like he was going to attack! However, Xue Huairou’s attack was vicious, and Lu Xiao’s injuries had not healed,what if, what if…
Qiu Yutong calmed down, suddenly condensed all his spiritual power, and slashed straight at the top of Xue Huairou’s head!
It was the “split heaven and earth apart” of Jiuwen swordsmanship!
This move was so powerful that Xue Huairou had to block it horizontally with the knife! The swords collided and the sword energy was awe-inspiring! Borrowing the force of the block, Qiu Yutong suddenly jumped away, grabbed Lu Xiao and Xu Dongqing, and ran down the mountain!
Xue Huairou stood still, raised his trembling hand, and touched his cheek lightly.
His hands were full of red blood.
He cultivated Romantic Dao, and was good at harvesting and repairing techniques. He had always cherished his appearance. At this time, Qiu Yutong’s sword energy suddenly marred his face, and he couldn’t help but be stunned.
Xue Huairou was dazed for a long time then his handsome face gradually twisted, and he suddenly screamed, “I am going to catch you three stinky mice, and tear you apart and f*ck your ashes!
While screaming, he suddenly raised his spiritual power. He was like a fluttering green cloud and caught up very quickly!
Qiu Yutong pulled Lu Xiao and Xu Dongqing tightly and ran to the valley down the mountain. Suddenly he stopped.
Ahead was a deep cliff; they had gone the wrong way!
Xue Huairou was already dozens of meters behind them!
Lu Xiao said sternly, “Crush the jade token! Enter the secret realm!”
Qiu Yutong woke up, and quickly shook out the three jade tokens in the yin and yang bag. He quickly gave one to Lu Xiao and Xu Dongqing.
Xu Dongqing said in a trembling voice, “After entering, can we still come out alive?”
It was too late to speak, but before Xu Dongqing finished speaking, Xue Huairou suddenly let out a long scream! With this screaming sound, the dazzling knife was like a life-threatening ghost, circling and whistling! The chill at the tip of the knife almost stabbed Qiu Yutong’s back!
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiao hugged Qiu Yutong tightly with one hand and Xu Dongqing with the other, and the three of them fell into the deep valley! While falling down, Qiu Yutong almost watched helplessly as the strand of thin hair beside his ear was cut off by the knife and scattered in the air!
With a soft “kacha” , he smashed the jade token in his hand!
