Sword God loves to eat "fish"

Xia Yi replied: "I found this place after being instructed by a well-informed expert."

Seeing Xia Yi, the young man has a handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and gentle and polite manners, and he has a good impression of him. Hearing this, he replied: "Then you wait a moment, I will invite the village chief over."

Xia Yi thanked her, and then stood beside an uncle tree with Ximen Chuuxue and waited quietly.

Not long after, the young man returned, and behind him was an old man in his sixties with white beard and hair, who presumably was their village chief.

Xia Yi took a closer look, and saw that the old man had a clear face and bright eyes. He walked up to the two of them and raised his hand to salute them.

The village head said: "The villagers don't know the etiquette, so they neglected the two distinguished guests. I hope the distinguished guests will not be offended."

Xia Yi hurriedly said: "How dare you."

The village chief invited the two of them into his home to serve tea, and then asked, "I heard from Da Zhu, are you two here looking for a master who has achieved success in cultivating immortals?"

Xia Yi said: "Exactly. I don't know if the old man has heard the rumors about this immortal?"

The village head showed a thoughtful look on his face when he heard the words, and said after a while: "To tell you the truth, there are indeed rumors on the island that there was once a fairy who cultivated on the island. However, this happened at least two or three hundred years ago. .In the past 300 years, this fairy has never appeared in the world, and I also learned from my ancestors that there was such a fairy on the island."

Xia Yi and Ximen Chuuxue looked at each other, and then asked the village chief, "I wonder if the old man has any clues about that fairy?"

The village head said: "If the distinguished guest wants to ask about the place where the immortal lives in seclusion, the old man will know. It is now a forbidden place on the island, and there are rumors that there are many organs inside. Over the years, some villagers have entered by mistake, and then never came out again. Therefore, this old man advises the two honored guests that it is better not to go there, lest you lose your life in vain."

Xia Yi said: "Thank you for reminding me, old man, we will be careful. I also hope that old man will tell that fairy where he lives in seclusion."

Seeing that they couldn't be persuaded, the village chief sighed and said, "Since the two distinguished guests insist on going, I have no choice but to tell you, but you must be careful when you go in. I hope you will have good fortune. The fairy's hermit's place is very easy to find. If you walk west along the small road at the east end of the village, you will see a huge stone tablet after walking ten miles away. That stone tablet is the village. Where is the dividing line with the hermitage of the immortals. After passing the stone tablet, it is the forbidden area, so it is not far from the hermitage of the immortals."

Xia Yi thanked the village chief, and then asked him to borrow an empty room to stay here for the night, planning to go to the fairy hermitage with Ximen Chuuxue the next day.

The village chief readily agreed, and resolutely declined the silver taels that Xia Yi sent over for rent and meals.

Thinking that they lived in this paradise, even if they asked for silver taels, they would have nowhere to spend them, so Xia Yi stopped insisting and took back the silver taels.

Early the next morning, Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yi went to the place pointed out by the village chief.

After walking ten miles along the small road at the east end of the village, the two of them saw a stone tablet.

Because of the age, the words engraved on the stele have become blurred. Xia Yi stepped forward to read it carefully, and found that it was roughly a reminder that there was danger inside, and told the villagers not to step in, so as not to risk their lives in vain.

The two of them were bold and skilled, so they naturally wouldn't be scared by the reminder on the stele, so they went around the stele hand in hand and walked in.

Because there were few people around for many years, grass grew overgrown behind the stele, and there was no road at all. The two had no choice but to step through the long grass half a person's height, and cut open with long swords when they encountered thorns, and walked forward.

I saw a lot of strange flowers and plants in front of me, and there were also many unknown tall trees. From time to time, a hare, badger and pig jumped out of the grass, but it was not afraid of people at all. It only looked at the two of them with curious eyes, and then ran away up.

Both of them were fully on guard, and walked forward through all the thorns and thorns. However, they walked for several miles without encountering any hidden weapons as imagined.

But the two did not let their guard down because they both had a feeling that this place was not as safe and harmless as it made out.

The current smoothness and safety may be just an illusion, and the invisible crises that are concealed under the illusion are the most terrifying.

Although both of them couldn't understand why a cultivator would set up countless hidden weapons in the place where he lived, and what was his intention in doing so.

After all, the people living on this island are kind villagers, and there is no need to set up agencies to guard against them.

However, the thoughts of the immortals are naturally beyond their comprehension. Maybe they just do this when they are idle and bored.

The two finally walked out of the range of long grass, and suddenly saw a tall building faintly hidden by trees in the distance, which looked like an old manor.

It's just that the distance is still far away, and the trees covering the manor are too thick, so it's impossible to see clearly.

The two of them cheered up at the same time, and after looking at each other, they held the hilt of the sword with their right hands at the same time, and then walked quickly towards the manor together.

The two walked into the dense forest, and suddenly a light gray mist floated in the forest.

The fog came so strangely, the two immediately held their breath vigilantly at the same time, Xia Yi pinched out his fingers to prepare to condense the barrier, Ximen Chuuxue shook his head and said, "Non-toxic."

At this time, Xia Yi also realized that the mist was not poisonous, but only disturbed people's sight.

The two looked at each other and walked hand in hand in the direction they had previously determined.

After half a stick of incense.

Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yi discovered almost at the same time that the distance between the manor hidden under the mist and them did not seem to be getting closer, as if the two had never taken a step before.

Both of them couldn't help being a little bit surprised. Previously, based on the distance of the manor, they judged that they would be able to walk to the gate of the manor after at most one stick of incense. Now this situation...is really weird.

Although it is rumored that there are many mirages on the sea, it seems that this is not the case they encountered.

Xia Yi and Ximen Chuuxue stopped together, looked at the manor house intently, and finally found that the part exposed under the shade of the tree changed its angle when the mist faded and the sight became clearer.

——They clearly walked in a straight line before, but now it looks more like they are going around the manor in circles.

The two looked at each other, and then carefully observed the surrounding terrain and nearby trees together.

After a while, Xia Yi had an epiphany, turned to Ximen Chuixue and said, "Ximen, look at the trees around, do they look like a formation?"

Ximen Chuuxue nodded and said, "That's exactly what I thought."

Xia Yi groaned for a while, then put the sword on his chest with his right hand, pinched out the finger formula with his left hand, and at the same time recited the mantra silently.

A moment later, a small whirlwind blew from around him.

The whirlwind was getting bigger and bigger, and it spread several miles away in an instant, blowing away the mist around them, and the vision in front of the two of them was suddenly clear, and they could have a panoramic view of all the scenery in the dense forest.

Moments later, the whirlwind around Xia Yi weakened, and the mist returned to surround the two of them.

——Xia Yi is good at water spells, and wind spells are his weakness.

But this moment is enough time for Xia Yi to judge what kind of formation is set up outside the villa.

He was born in Mount Taihua, Shi Zunqing and Zhenren are proficient in formation and sword skills, Xia Yi has quite a lot of authentic teachings, and he often reads related classics, so he is very familiar with these common formations.

"Fuxi's innate gossip formation is supplemented by the two forms and four phenomena formation." Xia Yi said: "The person who set up the formation is obviously proficient in Qimen Dunjia, so they can combine these two completely different formations into one to create a brand new one. Here comes the formation."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't know anything about formations, so he asked, "Yi Ze, do you have a way to break through formations?"

Xia Yi said: "I am not [-]% sure, but since I have entered the battle, I have to try my best."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his right hand and held Ximen Chuuxue's left hand tightly, while his left hand pinched his fingers, forming a transparent protective barrier around the two of them, while muttering something in his mouth.

Ximen Chuuxue faintly heard that "Tai Chi produces Liangyi, Liangyi produces Sixiang, and Sixiang produces Bagua", "Take the position of Qian, transfer to the position, enter the Palace of Li, and Palace of Zhenzhen", but he is completely puzzled.

He couldn't help breaking the formation, so he drew the long sword behind his backhand and was fully on guard to prevent any unexpected situation from happening.

Xia Yi pondered it over and over in his mind for a long while, and finally he was [-]% sure about breaking the formation, so he turned his head and said to Ximen Chuuxue: "Ximen, follow me closely."

After speaking, he raised his face solemnly and took three steps to the side, Ximen Chuuxue hurriedly followed him every step of the way.

The two walked cautiously in this confusing formation, fully alert at every step, and walked without any surprises and dangers along the way, and even half of the traps were not activated. It can be seen that Xia Yi used the right method to break through the formation.

Half an hour later, Xia Yi finally found Shengmen, and walked out of the misty forest with Ximen Chuuxue.

The mysterious manor finally lifted the veil of mist in front of the two of them, revealing the whole picture.

The two stood side by side at the gate of the manor, looking at the two locked vermilion lacquer gates at the same time.

Xia Yi removed the barrier, walked to the door, held the door knocker and knocked lightly.

Men Chuuxue stood behind him with a sword in hand, in case of any accident.

It was night now, and the surroundings were completely silent, not even the chirping of insects and birds could be heard, and the sound of the copper ring hitting the wooden door seemed particularly long in the night sky.

Xia Yi waited quietly for a while, seeing that there was no response from the mansion courtyard, he said loudly: "Is there anyone in the courtyard? Uninvited guests disturb you late at night, I hope the master will open the door and see you."

He poured spiritual power into his voice, the volume didn't seem to be high, but the penetrating power was very strong.

If there was really someone in the manor, even if that person slept like a dead pig, he should be woken up by now.

However, there was still a dead silence in the courtyard.

Xia Yi couldn't wait for a response, so he had to reach out and push the two vermilion lacquered wooden doors.

There was only a muffled "squeak", and the heavy door opened in response.
