I practice ruthless way

This is not the first time Yan Wushu has quietly appeared nearby.Speaking of which, Xiao Man was almost used to his behavior, so he got used to ignoring him, looked away, and nodded to Wei Chuyun.

Yan Wushu witnessed the whole process of Xiao Man from seeing him to pretending not to see him, raised his brows, stopped holding back his breath, put away his folding fan, and walked under the tree.

Now Qu Hanxing finally saw the person, changed his sleeve to wipe his sweat and said, "Is it him? Does he look like a vegetable husband?"

——Because of the location, from Qu Hanxing's point of view, Yan Wushu seems to come out from behind the tree.But Wei Chuyun was standing in a different place, and his vision was not obstructed, so he immediately noticed that this person appeared too abruptly, and pulled Xiao Man behind him, clenched the hilt of his sword tightly.

Yan Wushu stopped, his eyes turned and fell on Wei Chuyun.

"Don't be nervous, come to me." Xiao Man put his hand on Wei Chuyun's shoulder, "You and them go to Wugu Tower first."

"What about you?" Wei Chuyun turned around and asked him.

Xiao Man: "I'll be there in a while."

Wei Chuyun took another look at Yan Wushu, turned sideways to make way, and followed Xiao Man all the time.

Mo Juntian also realized that something was wrong, but the current situation is not convenient to ask.Qu Hanxing got up from the ground, patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, looked at Xiao Man, then at the two people, and said: "Let's go first, there will be no place in the Drum Tower after five nights, what can we talk about when Brother Man comes?" .”

"Okay." Mo Juntian nodded.

The three of them headed towards the Five Drum Towers, while Xiao Man headed in the opposite direction.

Under the setting sun, the shadows of all things are slanted and long. Xiao Man was already thin, but his shadow was extremely thin, and the hem of his clothes was still flying in the twilight. If the wind was stronger, it seemed that he would go with him.

The shadow's tail stopped when it was ten feet away from Yan Wushu, Xiao Man flicked his sleeves lightly, raised his eyelids to see the person opposite.

Yan Wushu understood his silent prologue, and snorted: "The vegetable husband? Is this how you arrange me behind your back?"

Xiao Man lowered his eyes, not wanting to answer these words.

There was a moment of silence between the two.Yan Wushu glanced at Xiao Man's undulating clothes in Mufeng, changed the subject, and said, "That friend of yours—the youngest one, has very keen perception."

"He is also very talented in swordsmanship." Xiao Man said, and then added: "But I don't want to go to Xueyi Peak."

His expression was different from when he was practicing swords and talking and laughing with his friends just now. He was very indifferent, and there was a little impatience in his eyes.Yan Wushu choked on the second half of the sentence, tapped the tip of his nose with a folding fan, laughed a little, and glanced at the shadow on the ground from the corner of his eye, and sighed quietly: "Am I a scourge, do I have to stand so far away?"

"Trouble, I have to walk back later." Xiao Man said lightly.

Yan Wushu heard the meaning in his words: "Don't plan to leave now?"

Xiao Man: "Not going to."

"Would you like to have dinner at the Five Drum Tower?"

"Ah."

Yan Wushu nodded his head to express his understanding. The chef of the Five Drum Tower is famous in Gushan, so it is only natural that Xiao Man likes the food here.He asked again, "Go back after dinner?"

Xiao Man frowned visibly, and wrote all over his face: "Do you have something to do?" Then he pursed his lips, and said, "Say something now."

"It's quite a long story, so I can't make it short. I have something else to show you." Yan Wushu's eyes were on Xiao Man all the time, and he didn't miss the slightest change in his expression. Seeing him like this, he felt a little cute and smiled. Smile, "I'll go back to Xueyi Peak and wait for you."

"Okay." Xiao Man said this word, and turned around immediately.

He didn't walk too fast.It wasn't because Yan Wushu was still on the practice field, but because he didn't know how to explain it to Qu Hanxing and the others.

As Qu Hanxing said, it is impossible for a vegetable husband to be dressed like this, and Yan Wushu's cultivation is very advanced, he is probably the only one present, and he will feel pressure if he gets close.This was also one of the reasons why Wei Chuyun was so vigilant.

But Xiao Man couldn't bluntly say Yan Wushu's identity, in that case, there would be more explanations to be made.

Xiao Man thought about it all the way, and finally thought of how to fool the past. When he arrived at the Five Drum Tower, he found that Wei Chuyun was the only one in the seat.

——Wei Chuyun is the most difficult to fool among the three!

But Xiao Man wouldn't show his timidity like this. He sat down, brought over the rice basket, filled more than half of the bowl, and asked calmly, "Where are they?"

Wei Chuyun helped Xiao Mansheng with a bowl of soup: "Tomorrow morning is a medicine class. Brother Mo received a notice to help, so Brother Qu went with him."

There are very few disciples doing chores on Baihua Peak, and there are money and spirit stones for earning money by doing chores for the teachers.Mo Juntian's family background is not good, and cultivation is a matter that consumes a lot of money and resources, so he has been doing chores at Bai Huafeng.

Xiao Man nodded in understanding.

Wei Chuyun didn't immediately ask the person Xiao Man met at the practice field earlier.

Xiao Man ate a few mouthfuls, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and decided to speak up: "You know that I live in Xueyi Peak, just now that person... is actually from Xueyi Peak. He is a senior, come to tell me something .”

"So that's how it is." Wei Chuyun spoke softly, "I overreacted before, and the people who can come and go freely in Baihua Peak are probably from the same family. I shouldn't harbor malicious intentions."

"It's my fault that I didn't hide something from the beginning." Xiao Man smiled unnaturally.

After eating with Wei Chuyun, he found a food box, filled it with some untouched dishes and rice, and sent it to Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian.

After doing this, the sky is full of stars.

Fallen leaves are piled up on the mountain road, and the trees beside the road are full of stars, which is quiet and lonely, with layers of coolness.Xiao Man found a cloud tortoise and set off slowly from Baihua Peak. It took a full quarter of an hour to reach Xueyi Peak.

The hidden place is lit with lights, and the lights fall on the mountain, reflecting the stars in the sky, which is really moving.

Rong Yuan used stones and wood to set up a stove in the corner of the courtyard, but the pots and pans are not easy to make by himself, and these in the hermitage were all brought from the Taoist hall.

Yan Wushu thought about the recipes for a while when he had nothing to do a few years ago, and when he was waiting for Xiao Man, he had a thought and started to think about those utensils again.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Manfu returned to the hermitage, he smelled sweet.

——Yan Wushu sat at the square stone table he used to sit at, with a dish of fish, a drawer of cakes, and a pot of scented tea in front of him.

The fish is sweet-and-sour fish, the cake is sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and the tea is also made with sweet-scented osmanthus. After a little smell, it can be seen that this person added a lot of sugar.

"Your Highness, please hurry up, today is the peak master who will cook in person." Rong Yuan stood behind Yan Wushu, his face full of earnest smiles.

Xiao Man stood where he was, without raising his foot, and asked Yan Wushu from a distance, his eyes were rarely concerned: "Are you sick?"

During the more than a hundred years that Xiao Man knew Yan Wushu in his previous life, how had this man ever cooked himself?Xiao Man didn't even know that he could cook.

These words caused Yan Wushu to laugh, and then waved to him: "Come here and have a taste."

Xiao Man still didn't move: "I've already had dinner."

A beautiful flower twirled out of the folding fan in Yan Wushu's hand: "So I just made some supper."

"..." Xiao Man glanced at the fish, and initially estimated that it must be no less than four catties.

He didn't know why this man was going crazy, but this was his place for the time being, so he sat on the empty stone bench opposite Yan Wushu, and asked straight to the point, "What are you trying to say?"

Yan Wushu passed the chopsticks over: "Taste a bite first."

Xiao Man: "..."

Xiao Man estimated that this person would not harm him at this time, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of fish with great reluctance.

Unexpectedly, the taste is excellent.

The fish is deep-fried, the skin is crispy, the taste is good, the sweet and sour sauce is well adjusted, sweet but not greasy, and the acidity is moderate.Compared with the craftsmanship of the master in Wugulou, it is not much worse.

"How does it taste?" Yan Wushu held the folding fan against his chin and asked with his eyes bent.

Xiao Man put down his chopsticks and said flatly, "It's okay."

Yan Wushu snorted and poured a glass of water for Xiao Man, "Looking at the entire Lonely Mountain, you are the only one who has ever eaten what I made."

"Peak Master, and me." Rong Yuan whispered from the side.That year Yan Wushu was in high spirits, every time he cooked a dish, he was asked to taste it, but at the beginning his skills were not very good, during that time, Rong Yuan really suffered and couldn't tell.

"Oh, yes." Yan Wushu remembered this just now, "But it wasn't specially made for you to eat."

Xiao Man ignored Yan Wushu's eyes without drinking any water, and asked, "Can I say something?"

Yan Wushu waved his hand to signal Rong Yuan to step back, moved the fish and sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table to one side, put a book and a wooden box on it, and said: "The deer in your prayer bead has got rid of its evil nature. A little spiritual power alone is not enough to survive, so find the food for it in this box."

"Thank you." Xiao Man said.

"There's no need to rush to thank you." Yan Wushu shook his head, "These days, I did a little research on its origin."

"How did you find out?" Xiao Man's expression froze, he stroked the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and straightened his back.

Yan Wushu: "You should know Mount Sumeru."

Xiao Man: "The sacred mountain in the legend."

"That deer is the divine deer in the legend——Fu Zhu." As he spoke, Yan Wushu turned a page of the book and pushed it in front of Xiao Man.

Xiao Man quickly picked up the book.

"This is a transcript, so don't be cautious." Yan Wushu couldn't help saying when he saw that he was acting cautiously.

"But it's also the hard work of the copyist." Xiao Man disagreed.

On this page is a portrait of Fuzhu, which is not much different from the deer in Xiaoman's beads.

The text introduces the habits and origins of Fuzhu, and at the end, it tells the story that thousands of years ago, a certain sect refined the last Fuzhu deer on Mount Sumeru into a demon.

The religion uses Fuzhu as a means to harm the people and ruin the common people.People at the time were outraged, and all sects and sects dispatched masters to suppress it in the form of coalition forces, subdued this demonic Fuzhu, and sealed it in a Buddhist altar.

"Fu Zhu was born enlightened, and he can make a move called 'One Party Mustard Seed', which can confuse the mind and bring out the painful memories of the listener." Yan Wushu poured himself a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus tea, and whispered amidst the gurgling water "You told me before that you thought the sound was harsh, but..."

Xiao Man didn't want Yan Wushu to delve into that matter, so he interrupted him, closed the book, and handed it back: "It's just a little harsh. At that time, Rong Yuan was with me, and he was so scared that he couldn't even stand still."

Then he continued: "If what is said above is true, Mr. Ling Guang should be concerned that the suppression of cults and sects thousands of years ago took place in Jiuyou. As we all know, Jiuyou has long been If it is destroyed, how did the Buddhist altar go to the hands of Zen Buddhism?"

"If the Buddhist shrine is still there, maybe we can find some clues from it; if the Zen sect is still there, maybe we can get some information." Yan Wushu took a sip of tea and said softly.

Xiao Man looked into his eyes: "It's all gone."

There was a little regret in Yan Wushu's eyes.

"There must be a cause and effect between this."

Xiao Man touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and turned his gaze away: "One more thing, Mr. Ling Guang, can you be sure that this Buddhist altar is really sent by Zen?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the starlight scattered in the courtyard seemed to tremble for a moment.

Yan Wushu frowned inaudibly, remained silent for a while, and then said, "I'm not sure."
