Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 219 Brain Cleansing Operation
"There's nothing wrong with your thinking," Qin Feng thought for a moment and added, "But if we don't get rid of the Qing-Swallowing Beast, I'm afraid no one will be able to get out alive."

Wei Xi finally understood that Qin Feng was also a supporter of source prevention.

"There's more than one way to kill," Wei Xi patiently explained. "Charging forward and suppressing with force is one way. If you're alone and have no advantage, you can set a trap or drive the beast into a swamp to trap it."

"I'm worried about those people, but I won't deliberately frame them." Wei Xi pursed his lips, "Let's wait patiently and find out why the Devouring Sky Beast is so secretive. Maybe we can fight it."

"The enemy is strong and I am weak. The enemy is in the open while I am in the dark." Qin Feng still listened to the advice and spoke politely most of the time. "I understand. Repairing the plank road in the open while marching through Chencang in secret!"

Wei Xi, who only half understood, nodded randomly, and the effect of persuading her to be obedient was achieved.

Wei Xi, whose cultural level is worrying, does not hope that the disciples of Wanjian Sect can lead people to defeat the Swallowing Beast.

Their thinking was wrong from the beginning: if the trial field could be demolished easily, why wait until today?
Although those involved are often confused, Wei Xi, as a bystander, feels that the actions of the Qing-Swallowing Beast are worth exploring.

Entering the trial field, the series of operations of the Devouring Beast seemed unfathomable, but in fact, the few people who followed it had no danger at all.

Instead, the five people who violated the taboo have not yet woken up.

However, the clues obtained so far are too scattered and are just confessions, so Wei Xi really can't figure out anything.

At this time, the mask on his face slipped a little, and Wei Xi subconsciously reached out to support it. With just this one action, his mind suddenly became clear!
Wei Xi pondered for so long and finally figured out what was wrong: this sea beast was grouping them!

The best example is the masks, which are invisible to everyone except the wearer and come in all shapes and sizes.

It was clearly not for them to see; the Qing-Swallowing Beast wanted to use this mask to divide them into groups.

After the meeting, Wei Xi verified the masks of the monks from the Wanjian Sect and found that even if they were from the same sect, their masks were not exactly the same.

It is purely a coincidence that the masks of the three members of the Qingcheng Sect are of the same style.

Wei Xi, who was searching for clues nearby, was about to bite his teeth to pieces: What on earth was the Qing-Swallowing Beast going to do?
But Wei Xi is sure of one thing: don't be the first one to reach the top of the mountain.

The townspeople requested that the sacrifice be sent up the mountain, and now it seems that the fire starter will be consumed on the way to deliver the sacrifice.

Wei Xi has lost his place to stand and his new look. If he goes to the top of the mountain without any preparation, he will lose the last candlelight.

"Cover your mouth and nose with a triangular bandana," Wei Xi whispered, "I'm afraid something in the trial field is affecting our thinking."

Wei Xi is now very annoyed: These things are not difficult to think of. Even if she is wary of her so-called teammates, she would not think of them now.

Considering the group of wandering zombies with obvious memory problems, Wei Xi was not surprised that the Qing-Swallowing Beast had made some moves to interfere with everyone's judgment!

After what happened in Tangkou Town, the first thing Wei Xi doubted was the air he breathed.

Sure enough, after covering himself with the triangular scarf for a while, Wei Xi's thoughts became much clearer.

Although Wei Xi had decided not to charge into battle, he still had to preserve his manpower to the best of his ability.

Especially Senior Brother Wang Xin. After all, his sister Wang Huan is still in Qingcheng Sect, and Wei Xi knows that he cannot beat her.

"Let's follow the river valley," Wei Xi said, choosing his location with great care. "If the residents of Taotie Town are traveling to and from the beast's lair, the valley is the most suitable route. Perhaps we'll find evidence there."

Wei Xi and his companions were all serious cultivators with much greater physical strength than others. Even they could not reach the top of the mountain in a day, let alone the townspeople.

Wei Xi was very sure about this. After all, she knew the body structure of these zombies very well, and it was obvious that they did not have wings.

The two searched along the valley, hoping to find some clues.

Time waits for no one, and daybreak soon arrives. Wei Xi can no longer see her hastily built camp, and she suspects Shen Fu will be leaving soon. "Qin Feng," Wei Xi said, still in the mood for small talk, "you seem to respect Shen Fu a lot?"

Qin Feng was reluctant to let Gao Han do the work of clearing the mountain, so he took out a machete from his arsenal and started cutting weeds not far away.

"Everyone says that Liu Yi of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is amazing," Qin Feng answered straightforwardly, "I think Liu Yi has too many thoughts, but Shen Fu doesn't have any bad intentions and his swordsmanship is superb, which is rare."

Thinking of Senior Brother Liu's ambiguous words, Wei Xi found it hard to believe Qin Feng's judgment of people.

"I think that being good at swordsmanship doesn't necessarily mean one is a good person," Wei Xi couldn't help but complain in front of his close friend, "Let's wait and see!"

"Don't worry," Qin Feng cut down a patch of weeds half a man's height in front of him. "I'll listen to you. I can't trust anyone else. Eh?"

Qin Feng leaned over and looked at the rock very intently. After a moment, she asked doubtfully, "Come here, something's not right with this thing!"

Wei Xi weighed the sickle in his hand, walked quickly to Qin Feng, and looked along the slender white fingers.

"Is this a fish?"

Across the shallow stream, you can see the rock wall covered by weeds. After Qin Feng cut down the weeds, the rock wall was exposed, and a flat fish was swimming in it, with its scales clearly visible.

"You saw it too," Qin Feng said, his voice muffled, with a hint of relief in it, as he covered his mouth and nose. "I thought I was crazy! It's swimming!"

"This is a trial ground," Wei Xi said, unfazed. "Who knows what will happen."

Wei Xi looked around and held Qin Feng's shoulders. "I'll go take a look. If anything's wrong, run!"

Without waiting for Qin Feng to refute, Wei Xi took a step forward and approached the rock wall, examining it carefully.

Wei Xi wrapped her hands with a rag and pressed the rock wall. It was indeed an ordinary rock. Being from Xizhou, she could not tell whether this rock wall was some common mineral deposit.

However, the fish, seeing someone coming, blew out a bubble leisurely.

Wei Xi: Thank you, otherwise I wouldn’t know you were alive!
"Xiaoxi! How are you?"

"Nothing," Wei Xi responded, "This fish looks like a sea fish, very similar to the ones we eat. It's still alive!"

Thinking of the corpses swimming under the moon, Wei Xi added seriously, "At least it's still alive in the trial field!"

Qin Feng jumped over, his expression serious. "How could the fish still be alive when it's in the rock? And Immortal Master Han isn't here!"

The sea fish in the stone wall turned around and left its flat tail to Wei Qin and the others.

Qin Feng: You have quite a temper!
"That's not entirely true," Wei Xi stretched out his hand to trace the outline of the fish, "think about the hook!"

"I should have forced him to come in earlier," Qin Feng lamented. "Maybe this man and this fish could have had something to talk about!"

Wei Xi squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, muttering: "Even the Dongyi people don't have this kind of fish."

"I'm telling you," Qin Feng relaxed now, picking up his machete and pointing at the rock wall, "This thing might have been made by the Qing-Swallowing Beast! It's been locked up for thousands of years, and its brain has gone bad! Even a fish that swims in water can forget!"

"Yes," Wei Xi said happily, turning to Qin Feng and saying, "Fish swim in water!"

"Do you still remember the story Zheng Duo told me? The founder of the Zhenhai Sect! He caught the Zhenhai Swallowing Beast in the sea!" Wei Xi's eyes gleamed. "How come the trial field is so lush and green, with no trace of seawater?"

After saying that, Wei Xi's mind moved. He squatted down, scooped up a handful of stream water, and splashed it at the sea fish shaking its head and tail on the rock wall!
　Wei Xi: My brain works much better now!
