When the protagonists and villains become bamboo horses

"The banquet needs a lot of fish. Please go to the pond behind the pavilion and catch a few fish to make soup. The more the better. I will come to check the results after an hour." The steward gave them the first task.

There seemed to be a shout coming from Huixian Pavilion where the figures intertwined, the butler turned his head and responded a few words, saying, "Come right away."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back along the corridor in the direction he came from.

A slender shadow dragged behind him, very much like the strange shadow that wandered around in the storm yesterday.

When the figure of the butler was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, he suddenly turned around, his lips, which were so pale that the color was almost invisible, parted, and reminded: "Oh, I almost forgot. You have to prepare the bait yourself."

When he said this, his voice was a little brisk, which was very different from the flat tone when he ordered them before.

However, against such a gloomy background, this brisk tone reveals an inexplicable coolness, as if it indicates that something bad is about to happen.

The three Cloud Chuanmen disciples stood in place, their spines felt chills when they heard it.

When Xie Shi heard the word bait, he thought it was a small bug. He called out a long sword in his hand, and hacked a few times in the soil under his feet, wanting to see if there were any earthworms in it.

Seeing his movements, Yan Yu laughed dumbly.

"Let's go to the pond first and see what kind of fish it is," Yan Yu said.

He walked along the side path, bypassing Huixian Pavilion, and walked straight to the pond behind.

Xie Shi hurriedly followed, walking side by side with him.

Xie Zhiwei followed beside Xie Shi.

The three of them came to the back of Huixian Pavilion and found that there were many ponds scattered all over the place, and there were many fish swimming in each pond.

They chose the largest pond, and after careful observation, they found that the fish here were relatively strong.

Underneath the streamlined body covered with scales is a solid block of muscles. The head of the fish is as hard as a helmet. When you open your mouth to breathe, you can see the jagged white teeth in the fish's mouth.

"Why does this fish have teeth?" Xie Shi pointed to the mouth of a fish in surprise, "It can't be a piranha, can it?"

He remembered the bait mentioned by the butler earlier, and had an inference in his mind.

Xie Zhiwei stood by the pond and put his hand into the water, trying to catch a fish out to have a look.

But the fish in the pond are more ferocious, and when they see a human hand, they open their mouths and bite down.

Xie Zhiwei's fingertips overflowed with spiritual power, and with a light hook, the fish that was about to bite his hand was frozen into ice.He then took the ice cube out of the water.

Unexpectedly, once the fish here leave the pond, they immediately become transparent and disappear without a sound.

Yan Yu looked at the empty ice cube in Xie Zhiwei's hand, touched his chin, took out a monster corpse from the storage space, and threw it into the pond.

But the fish in the pond didn't even take a look at the corpse of the monster, obviously not interested at all.

"I guess, the fish here may have picky mouths and only eat human flesh." Xie Zhiwei frowned, looking at these piranhas with disgust.

Xie Shi looked distressed and said, "This is troublesome. There are only a few of us living here, where can we find human flesh as bait?"

While speaking, Xie Zhiwei saw Yan Yu's fingers move again out of the corner of his eyes.

He couldn't help his heart skipping a beat, a look of horror appeared in his indifferent eyes, and he looked alert: "In addition to the corpses of monsters, you guys also put human corpses in the storage space, right?"

Xie Zhiwei was heartbroken, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was something the devil might do, and then he saw Yan Yu take out a bunch of bottles and jars containing seasonings out of thin air.

There are also notes on it, saying cumin, soy sauce and chili respectively.

Xie Zhiwei: "..."

"Xie Xianjun, you're blaming me again. How can I be so mad?" Yan Yupi smiled, and sneered, "Even if I really put that kind of thing in the storage space, I can't put it in the storage space openly. Take it out in front of you, unless one day my hands are itchy and I want to fight with you."

As he spoke, he distributed these seasoning bottles to Xie Shi, and even gave some to Xie Zhiwei, "To make up for the mistakes, you can help too."

Xie Zhiwei held the seasoning bottle, momentarily at a loss for words, and silently agreed.

Xie Shi looked down at the bottles and cans in his arms, his eyes sparkled, and asked Yan Yu curiously, "Did Brother Xiu Ling figure out a solution?"

Yan Yu smiled and nodded.

"Since there is no way to fish the fish out of the pond, why don't we cook them directly?" His gaze swept across the entire pond, "As long as the fire is big enough, this pond can also be used as a pot."

"But..." Xie Shi hesitated in his heart, "The pond water is very dirty, and there is still mud at the bottom, so the cooked fish will have diarrhea if eaten?"

Yan Yu bent his index finger, tapped his head with his knuckles, and reminded softly: "This fish is not for the living. It doesn't matter if he can eat it or not, as long as he can pass the customs when it is cooked."

Xie Shi realized instantly, and couldn't wait to implement this good method.

Afterwards, the three of them poured spiritual power into the pond together, and the spiritual power turned into flames when it met water, roasting the fish in the pond.

They set the fire and put in the seasonings, and the whole pond turned into a big pot for cooking fish.The fish in the pot is tumbling, and the fragrance of the meat is overflowing.

After feeling that it was almost cooked, Xie Shi took a big bucket in his hand, and using spiritual power as a net, he fished out the cooked fish one by one from the pond.

An hour later, the butler arrived as scheduled.

When he saw the cooked fish in Xie Shi and Yan Yu's bucket, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.

"This fish..."

Yan Yu stood aside, took the babble, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Isn't it just cooked? I won't have to cook it later, save more time!"

But what I want is live fish, the housekeeper thought.

His pale lips moved twice, as if he wanted to say something, but the butler immediately sensed the powerful fluctuation of spiritual power in Yan Yu's body, and forcibly swallowed back what he was about to say.

"Okay, that's it, let's count you through." The butler took the two big buckets and continued to arrange tasks for them. "Next, please go to the bamboo forest next to you and chop a few bamboos. The more the better."

Perhaps it was a lesson learned from the first mission, this time the housekeeper also specially instructed them: "Remember that the bamboo must be raw, not cooked, otherwise it will not pass."

The three of them walked towards the bamboo forest on the left side of Huixian Pavilion in the direction pointed by the butler.

Not long after they left, three Cloud Piercer disciples also came over to hand in the task.

They didn't have enough spiritual power to cook the whole pond, so they chose a remote small pond, cut a few pieces of thigh meat as bait, and caught three fish after a long time of hard work.

Smelling the faint smell of blood from the three of them, the butler nodded in satisfaction.

Cutting meat as bait is the correct way to catch fish.

He accepted their meager results in a good mood, and he did not embarrass these Cloud Piercer disciples too much, and explained the second mission succinctly.

……

In the lush bamboo forest, the tall and straight green bamboos are as green as emeralds. Looking around, they look like a tender green dark sea.

After entering the bamboo forest, Xie Shi was not in a hurry to cut down the bamboo, but took out the puppet wrapped in red thread, and told Yan Yu what he found.

"Brother Xiu Ling, look, there is a red thread missing from the doll." He stretched out his long, white fingers and slid from the head to the feet of the doll one by one like counting. "I remember that we all tied seven red threads before." The red line, but now there are only six left on it."

Yan Yu took out his doll to have a look, and found that it was the same situation.

"I guess that every time we complete a mission, there will be one less red line on this puppet," he pondered, and said his own judgment, "Maybe when all the red lines disappear, we will pass the level smoothly."

Xie Zhi agreed with his opinion.

Since Immortal Wenyuan believed in fate all his life, following the guidance of fate and completing all tasks obediently, he might be able to successfully complete the test.

"But..." Xie Shi still had doubts in his heart, "Where did the disappearing red line go?"

He turned the puppet over and over several times, but couldn't find where the disappearing red line went.

Yan Yu didn't bother with this little problem, put away the doll, and called Xie Shi to chop bamboo together.

"It's only the second task right now, and we still have plenty of time to think slowly," Yan Yu said, "Now let's work hard on chopping bamboo."

"En." Xie Shi nodded obediently.

Looking at the vigorous green bamboo in front of him, he called out the long sword, and the sharp blade reflected the cold light.

Xie Shi took a deep breath, swung out his sword, and slashed straight at the side of the green bamboo.

This sword contained spiritual power, with the aura of cutting iron like mud, he thought he could cut off the green bamboo directly.But who would have thought that when the sword blade collided with the green bamboo, there would be a clanging metal knocking sound.

The long sword was bounced off, and Xie Shi's hand was numb from the shock.

He was surprised: "This bamboo is actually harder than my sword."

In addition to being surprised, he had already expected it in his heart.

Sure enough, the tasks here are not easy to complete.Catching fish meets piranhas, chopping bamboo meets steel bamboo.

Xie Shi did not immediately seek Yan Yu's help, but lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

Then he cut his fingertips with spiritual power, squeezed out blood, and smeared it on the bamboo.

In the next moment, the emerald-green bamboo body actually showed countless luminous rune patterns.

The spiritual power flowed on the runes and connected with each other, forming a defensive formation wrapped around the bamboo.

Xie Shi suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder it can't be cut, it turns out there is a formation."

However, formations, this is his field of expertise.

Xie Shi's gaze followed the path of spiritual power flow for a few times, and then he found the pattern.He pointed to the place where the runes were sparse, and said happily to Yan Yu: "Brother Xiuling, this is the weak point of the formation. We should be able to chop the bamboo relatively easily if we cut here with the sword."

As soon as the voice fell, he tried it with the long sword himself.

A deep crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the originally extremely hard emerald bamboo.

Later, under Xie Shi's instructions, the two of them cut down bamboo at a rapid pace, and felled a large piece of green bamboo in a short while.

Xie Zhiwei didn't have a puppet, so he didn't need to complete the task. He watched the two chopping bamboo and felt a little bored.

He looked around and found that the depths of the bamboo forest were clean and elegant, and he suddenly became interested in playing the piano.

Baiyi Xianxiu sat cross-legged, his spiritual power condensed into a long piano, and his fingers like jade landed on the strings, gently stroking.

The fresh and soothing sound of the piano flows out from his fingertips, which contrasts with the surrounding dark green bamboos like a sea, which is quite poetic and picturesque.

In the melodious sound of the piano, Xie Zhiwei gained the long-lost tranquility, and his mind danced with the music, shuttling back and forth among the green bamboos, freely and freely.

However, in such a leisurely and beautiful atmosphere, Yan Yu suddenly opened his mouth and said to Xie Zhiwei: "Xie Xianjun, come to some exciting music to boost your motivation!"

The originally melodious piano sound suddenly stopped, and the bamboo forest returned to tranquility.

Xie Zhiwei's elegant mood was disturbed, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Yu, his eyes were very unfriendly.

"It's hard to find a bosom friend in high mountains and flowing water," Xie Zhiwei said inscrutablely, "People from Lower Liba are the worst."

After Yan Yu's words, Xie Zhiwei immediately lost interest in playing the piano, flicked his sleeves, waved the long piano formed by the condensed spiritual energy, and walked boredly in the bamboo forest.

Recalling the elegant piano sound that stopped abruptly before, Yan Yu felt a little regretful.

He really wanted to listen to some exciting music, not deliberately teasing Xie Zhiwei.

"Oh!" He sighed heavily, and continued to chop bamboo.

I don't know when, there was a wind in the bamboo forest.The bamboo leaves trembled slightly, rubbing against each other, making a rustling sound, as if thousands of small mouths were whispering.

This kind of indistinct noise overlapped, like ocean waves, drowning the people in the bamboo forest.

Yan Yu listened, feeling inexplicably irritable.

Xie Shi noticed that his expression was not right, he quickly stopped what he was doing, and pulled him aside to rest.

"Brother Xiu Ling, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" He asked with concern.

Seeing the sweat dripping from Yan Yu's forehead, Xie Shi took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it gently for him.

Yan Yu shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly feel very annoying." He closed his eyes, leaned on a bamboo tree, listened attentively to the noises, and vaguely guessed.

This situation is very similar to yesterday's storm, and it can evoke negative emotions in people's hearts.

For normal people, these small effects are not a big problem, but for the devil species, it will make them feel uncomfortable.

Seeing the movement here, Xie Zhiwei walked over slowly.

With a cold face, he looked straight at Yan Yu with a thick layer of snow in his pupils.

Xie Zhiwei also noticed something wrong with the noise, but Yan Yu reacted so strongly, it was abnormal.

He remembered that Yan Yu was able to control the slight negative emotions before, but now he was no longer as calm as before.This was true of last night's storm, and even more true of today's bamboo forest noise.

With the improvement of the realm of cultivation, the destructive power of the monster will continue to rise, but the self-control will slowly decline.

Yan Yu is already very strong now, and he is the head of a party, which means that he will lose control more and more easily and become an unstable and dangerous factor.

Xie Zhiwei looked cold and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

There were similar scenes in the previous life, but at that time, he would never talk nonsense with the demon species that was on the verge of losing control, and would immediately draw his sword to face him, taking advantage of his loss of control, to kill him.

Xie Shi caught a glimpse of a piece of snow-white robe out of the corner of his eye, and realized that Xie Zhiwei was approaching them.

Since he was a child, he has been aware of the entanglement between the Son of God and the Demon Seed, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

Without even thinking about it, Xie Shi stretched out his arm to protect Yan Yu in his arms, turned his head, looked at Xie Zhiwei with sharp eyes like a knife, and scolded: "Don't come here!"

But Xie Zhiwei didn't listen to him, the figure in white continued to approach, coupled with the cold and indifferent expression on his face, the whole person looked like Bai Wuchang who was seductive and desperate.

Xie Shi was very anxious, he knew that with his current cultivation level, he could not beat his previous life, but he must not just stand by and watch Brother Xiu Ling get hurt.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Shi remembered that Xie Zhiwei had mentioned before that the two of them came from the same source and depended on each other in life and death.

So, he gritted his teeth, raised the long sword in his hand, and laid it across his neck with lightning speed.

With a resolute expression on his handsome and fair face, his eyes were full of no regrets, and he rebuked Xie Zhiwei forcefully again: "Stop!"

Xie Shi knew that if he died, Xie Zhiwei would die too, and the danger Yan Yu was facing now would be automatically resolved.

If Xie Zhiwei continued to approach, then for Yan Yu's safety, he had to make the most extreme choice.
