Chapter 188 The Truth on the Surface
In the infinite heaven, the seven-color moonlight and the light emitted by the candlestick and lamp on the platform of Ziyunju reflect each other, forming one beautiful halo after another. Xia Qiu was lying on the table, using a brush to copy some sentences that she didn't quite understand on the rice paper over and over again. This was the task taught to her by Ouyang Xueye. She felt as if she had returned to the world in a trance, so she still had unfinished homework so late.
After another two days of training, she can already smash the scarecrow set up by Ouyang Xueye along the way with a wooden knife in the fast riding, and the time is shortening every time. He thought he would get a few rewards, but in this regard, he was obviously much more stingy than Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Yong. Not only did he not say a word of praise and encouragement, but he also made a new request to her to ride a horse and shoot arrows. She has never learned archery before, so everything has to start with the most basic training.
She became more and more confused about the meaning of Ouyang Xueye's training method, and he never explained too much. He just went his own way according to his own ideas, so that even Xia Qiu began to have some rebellious psychology.
That morning, when she heard that Ouyang Xueye asked her to learn archery, she couldn't help complaining, "I'm better at knife skills than archery. It's okay if I have enough time to master one more skill, but now the time is limited. Shouldn't I choose a better project to strengthen it?"
"Are you good at knife?" Ouyang Xueye asked her at the corners of her mouth, and his tone seemed to have some contempt.
Xia Qiu was even more angry when he heard him ask himself this, so he answered, "Yes!"
"Well, I'll come and spend a few tricks with you!" After Ouyang Xueye finished speaking, he reached out and called out a wooden sword and made a posture to fight.
Xia Qiu thought that although her strength had not fully recovered from the previous comparison, the knife routine and combat experience she had learned and realized were still there. Compared with Ouyang Xueye in the last few rounds, it should not be a problem, but when she really fought with him, she found that the truth was not the same at all.
It is also a wooden weapon. Ouyang Xueye can make the clouds and flowing water majestic. Even the wooden sword can still make the other party feel the strong sword spirit. In contrast to the action of Xia Qiu waving a wooden knife, it is completely dragging mud and weak.
Ouyang Xueye lightly jumped back to avoid the knife stabbed by Xia Qiu, then flashed to the left, and then jumped forward and pressed her right wrist holding the knife. Although she understood that this suddenly meant that she had lost, she was still unconvinced. So he suddenly shook him away and turned around to attack Ouyang Xueye with a horizontal roundabout.
But when she turned around, she found that Ouyang Xueye had disappeared for a long time. He patted her from behind and said, "This is what you are best at knife. As expected, you have lost before I even come out your weapon!"
Xia Qiu was speechless. Ouyang Xueye was right at all. If he encountered a strong hand like him on the real battlefield, he would have died without even a chance to get a knife. The huge gap in strength between the two is depressing, but it can also stimulate people's fighting spirit. She decided to re-examine the training method he arranged for herself.
Ouyang Xueye has a lot of strange ideas in her head. Take the book she is copying now. He asked her to copy the whole book three times every night before she can go back to her room to rest. The book was full of inexplicable words. She read them again and again, but still didn't know what to say.
"The psychic, the first general reason, the reasonable person can be born out of nothing... not anxious, not dry, strong soul and strong soul, can also be protected from external invasion..."
She felt that Ouyang Xueye was like a devil teacher who kept having problems in class every day and left a lot of homework for the students after class, but on the surface, he was extremely satisfied with the progress he had arranged, so she had to stick to it.
After the last time she communicated with Ouyang Xiao Leng, she told Ouyang Xueye about this matter. He repeatedly told her not to tell this matter to other people, so as not to make trouble, but it made her feel a little strange. In this infinite world, except for the elk deer fairy of Ouyang Xueye and Ziyunju, she can only talk about the big head and the jade cicada on Bauhinia Island. None of them seems to be the person who will frame her. Even if they know, what is there to worry about? She couldn't think of a reason, so she had to continue to focus on the heavenly book she copied.
The place where the clouds protrude out on the platform, Ouyang was sitting on the ground on a snowy night. He leaned his back against the corner of the chair and drank wine silently alone. In order to disturb Xia Qiu these two days, he no longer invited Wuyou Shengtong to drink and chat. Once the night of the infinite heaven calms down, the Ziyunju looks particularly lonely, and the depression in his heart becomes particularly obvious. There is no need to say much about missing his wife and children. Even in this seemingly calm and peaceful infinite heaven, there are many incomprehensible places hidden.
Yu Chan has long discovered the emptiness here. In order to prevent herself from degenerating and stop thinking, she set up a classroom to teach people to sing and dance. The same is true of Ouyang Xueye. The book copied by Xia Qiu is actually written by him himself. Part of it is the strong heart method taught to Ouyang Xueye by the first generation of demon king Hu Li, which has a great effect on enhancing the power of the soul, and the other part is some mental methods he has learned on Bauhinia Island in the past ten years. The reason why he asked Xia Qiu to copy this book is that she can recite the mental method and keep it in mind. This mental method can not only help her recall the plum blade, but also make her more capable of defeating the evil soul that occupies her body at the last moment.
As for why Xia Qiu was asked to practice riding and shooting, it was because he conducted an investigation after hearing the enemy in a white cloak mentioned by Xia Qiu before. Coincidentally, an old man on Bauhinia Island had been in a coma all year round because of his serious injury, and during his coma, he lived in the territory of the soul, so he knew more about the situation there.
The morning after Xia Qiu arrived at Bauhinia Island, Ouyang Xueye left Ziyunju early to visit the old man. The old man was called a crane old man. He was a crane demon before his death. After his death, he became a dead soul and still called himself a wild crane. He spent most of his time fishing on the shore of the lake, and that day was no exception.
Ouyang Xueye parked his eagle by the lake, got off the horse and crept to him, but he still found it. The old man Crane wears a big straw hat, the brim of which covers most of his face low, and sits on a rock with the kind of bamboo hat worn by a fisherman. He holds a bamboo fishing rod in one hand and naturally puts it on his thigh with the other. He said without looking back, "It's rare for the island owner to come here!"
"He Lao!" Ouyang Xueye sat down on another rock and said. He looked at the wooden bucket next to him and found that there was nothing in it except the whole bucket of water. He knew that the old man's harvest today was not good.
"What's the matter with you, an idle person like me?" Mr. He raised his straw hat up and asked.
"I want to ask you about the realm of the soul!" Ouyang Xueye picked up a small grass from the side and asked while moving it in his hand.
"Oh? Why is the island owner interested in that place? He Lao looked at him and continued to ask, and his eyes surrounded by crisscrossing wrinkles were full of doubts.
"I'm just interested to hear that Wuyou Shengtong has suddenly appeared a group of monsters in white cloaks and will attack outsiders for no reason." Ouyang Xueye didn't tell the truth, but took a detour.
"That group of monsters hasn't been there for a day or two. I've seen them since then, but they shouldn't have attacked the dead at will, at least I haven't been attacked by them. However, I heard that they are controlled by someone, specific..." He Lao said this but stopped talking, as if there was something difficult to say.
"What? Is there anything inconvenient to say? The more he did this, the more he aroused Ouyang Xueye's interest in continuing to ask.
"Someone once told me not to tell others what you have seen and heard in the realm of separation, otherwise it will be bad for me." A trace of fear suddenly flashed in Mr. He's eyes. He never thought that anyone would ask him about the world.
"In this infinite heaven, is there any such alarmist and threatening people?" The snowy night in Ouyang is more and more concerned.
"Why not?" Mr. He asked, and then turned his face to one side.
"It seems that this person's rights are above me, so you have scruples in front of me for his sake." Ouyang Xueye probably guessed who the person He Lao was afraid of was.
"Island owner, you are a smart person, so why do you have to say it?" Mr. He had long felt that he was unlucky today. After sitting by the lake for a long time, he not only didn't catch a fish, but was also asked by Ouyang Xueye about what he didn't want to say.
"Just because I guessed who is threatening you, just tell me what you know. I won't talk to anyone else!" Ouyang Xueye said sincerely.
"Okay!" Mr. He knew that he could not avoid it, so he withdrew the fishing line, put the fishing rod on the side, and continued, "All I know is that those white cloaks are actually a special creature white bats in the realm of soul separation. They are all under the orders of one person. The man's nest should be in the dense forest of the realm of soul separation, and he and those The white bats have been hiding there for a long time, and they seem to have been plotting some plan. When I was still in the realm of soul separation, I often saw him sending those white bats to work for him. They are so powerful that they can even affect the demon world and the infinite heaven.
Ouyang Xueye's look at He Lao should tell the truth. At that time, Xia Qiu woke up in the dense forest, and the group of white bats were purposefully working for a person. It seems that the reason why they caught her was also to follow the arrangement of the mysterious figure. As soon as she arrived at the realm of soul separation, she was chased by the group of monsters, which showed that those people know everything about her actions. In this way, the mysterious man was probably related to Qingyun.
And the one who made him worried and dared not speak in the mouth of Mr. He just now must be the Lord of the infinite heaven. When Ouyang Xueye first came to the infinite heaven, he felt that he was a person who had no dispute with the world. Although he did not have much contact with him, he agreed with his free and easy way of doing things. Moreover, he thought that the infinite heaven would be a dead place, but when he came, he found that it was very lively and managed. There were often interactions between the islands. Every season, various competitions were even held on Bauhinia Island, which was very interesting.
But from about a few years ago, it seemed that he suddenly stayed in his own palace all day long, no longer had contact with people, and also clearly divided the hierarchy between the islands, prohibiting the dead soul from contacting other souls outside his island. Violators will be disposed of by immeasurable walkers to his palace above the clouds in the lake. Because no one has seen these escorted violators in the future, no one knows what their fate will be.
