An Zhisu was still in a daze, and only heard a voice in his mind saying:
"hurry up!"
"ah?"
"Hurry up!"
It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with her dullness, and Taiyang Zhenmei Sword urged again:
"I've given you the power, come on!"
An Zhisu: ...
At this moment, she had realized that she had made a mistake: there was no Kunlun Qiongying being hunted, but the two demons were chasing the rare treasure.
As a result, the strange treasure resided in his body, not only absorbing his true essence without asking, but also instigating him to help fight against the demons... An Zhisu had fought with these two demons before, so of course he would not be fooled easily, and thus he quickly decided to retreat.
The opponent is an immortal demon, so why bother fighting? I don't know how to seal!
"Hurry up! I've seen that they are no match for you... Hey, why are you still running?" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword was stunned. He wanted to leave this host, but there were no other human cultivators nearby. If he left the body rashly, he would definitely be hunted down by these two demons again.
Therefore, it could only persuade An Zhisu endlessly:
"What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid! Just rush over and do it! Can you unite the man and the sword? Just unite the man and the sword and crush him and it will be over!"
"These two demons are immortal." An Zhisu reminded in a muffled voice, "I am no match for them."
"Oh?" Taiyang Zhenmeijian heard the fear in her tone and immediately responded, "Have you fought with them?"
"Hmm." An Zhisu didn't want to say more. She planned to return to Shushan as soon as possible to let her master and grandmaster control this thing and stop it from making noises in her ears. To put it bluntly, Senior Sister An didn't believe in the "tiger's body trembles, and strange treasures come to her" plot at all, and was afraid of this strange flying sword!
As soon as they met, without saying a word, he directly occupied the body and stole the true essence. Could it be a real flying sword?
"Ahem." Sun Zhenmei Sword sensed that she was on guard, and quickly explained, "To be honest, I'm not some evil flying sword..."
"How could an evil flying sword admit to being evil?" An Zhisu asked back coldly.
"If I were really some evil flying sword, would you still be alive?" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword continued to persuade him, "By the way, your true essence is not ordinary. Are you practicing the "Taishang Sun and Moon Mixed Origin Sutra"? Then do you know who can practice this technique?"
"I don't know." An Zhisu said.
"In our time, only the candidates of Emei Sword Pavilion could practice!" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword said proudly, "And the goal of all the candidates is to enter the Sword Pavilion, win the favor of Fuxi Divine Sword, and eventually become the master of the Divine Sword!"
"Oh." An Zhisu said.
If the other party then says, "I am the Sun Zhenmei Sword," "You should use your true energy to support me," or "When I am satisfied, I will let you be the master of the Sun Sword," then he can basically be regarded as a liar.
This deception is actually quite common, and the earliest one can be attributed to the guest of Shushan, Guan family. This person is famous for his obsession with Fuxi sword, and he once offered a very high price to find Taiyin Suming sword within Shushan. Therefore, there are many Shushan disciples who want to find the sword, so as to get in touch with the immortal and rise to the top in one step.
Many similar scams then spawned, such as "We have found clues to the magic sword", "Lend me some spirit stones to purchase magic weapons", "I will return you as much as I can when I succeed", etc. Later, I remember that it was the head of Yujing Sect who cracked down severely and finally eliminated this unhealthy trend in the sect.
Of course, most of these scammers are cultivators themselves, and so far, no one has ever heard of any weapon spirits cheating people... but An Zhisu subconsciously felt that he had to be on guard.
I still want to hear what the other party has to say.
"Speaking of this, I think you have guessed my identity." Taiyang Zhenmei Sword said in a deep voice, "Yes, I am Taiyang Zhenmei Sword."
"I have lent you three points of my power. Now you must obey my orders. If you can gain my approval, it is possible for you to become the master of the Sun Sword!"
"Well." An Zhisu said nonchalantly, "Since you are the Sun True Dark Sword, how can a mere demon block your path? Wouldn't it be destroyed as soon as it meets you?"
"Ahem!" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword was very embarrassed and explained, "Although I am Fuxi Divine Sword, after all, I don't have the help of the Sword Master. This kind of demon is immortal and indestructible, so it is more troublesome to deal with it."
"If that's the case, then what can happen if I'm included? If you and I join forces, will those demons become immortal?" An Zhisu seized the loophole in its words and asked again.
"This..." Of course, the Taiyang Zhenmei Sword could not admit that he had been chased by the opponent for too long, so he wanted to kill back a few times to vent his anger - that would sound too vindictive and did not have the magnanimity of the Fuxi Divine Sword.
Seeing that it was speechless, An Zhisu didn't say much and just concentrated on flying away with his sword.
In the underwater cave, the main vein of the earth's fire, Shi Liuli and Xu Yinglian were still confronting each other.
"Excuse me, but there is no need to use a furnace." Xu Yinglian said, "The underground fire is violent. Although it is easier to control the heat by using a blast furnace, it also loses efficiency."
"Stability is more important than efficiency." Shi Liuli said calmly, "It is precisely because the earth fire is so violent that if there is any mistake in the smelting, it will be more trouble than gain."
"What could go wrong?" Xu Yinglian crossed his arms and said coldly, "The Heaven-Repairing Stone is an ancient divine object. Most methods cannot do anything about it, so the most difficult thing is to refine it."
"If you can't even refine it, and you're still considering stability and control, it's like a starving person who is about to die but stops eating because of choking. It's really ridiculous."
"I don't agree with that." Shi Liuli said, "The blast furnace conducts heat, and although there is some loss in the process, it's not much."
"If, as Fellow Daoist Qiongying said, we can't even refine it, then it's definitely not a problem with the furnace, but a lack of skills in stimulating the earth fire."
"Alright, alright." Chen Guanshui came out to smooth things over. "You two should stop arguing for now. Smelting the Heaven-Bulding Stone is indeed difficult and complicated. It's normal for everyone to have disputes. There's no need to quarrel..."
He thought he was not helping either side, but ended up igniting the anger of both ladies at the same time.
"Two?" Shi Liuli said in surprise, "Before Fellow Daoist Qiongying came, she called me 'Lady Liuli'; when Fellow Daoist Qiongying came, I became one of the 'two'. My husband's ability to adapt to the situation is indeed refreshing at all times."
"Haha." Xu Yinglian disagreed. "Brother is always like this. When he was in Kunlun, he was polite in front of outsiders, but he often showed his true nature in front of me... Why, Daoist Fellow Dongyou has never seen this side of him?"
Shi Liuli felt unhappy when she heard this, because it sounded like the other party was mocking her by saying "My husband hides even less in front of me and has almost no sincerity towards you", so she subconsciously narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Guanshui, who was sweating profusely.
But she soon realized that this was just Xu Yinglian's unilateral statement and was not credible.
Therefore, Shi Liuli quickly retorted:
"I have not seen him. Ever since my husband and I became Taoist partners, he has always been affectionate to me. In the morning, he would do my makeup and draw my eyebrows, and in the evening, he would change clothes with me and go to bed. This has never changed for a hundred years."
Xu Yinglian couldn't hold back her expression: Dressing and drawing eyebrows? Changing clothes and going to bed? The same thing every day?
I am also your Taoist partner. When have you ever been so fond of me?
She stared at Chen Guanshui with murderous intent, shocking the latter and saying quickly:
"Junior sister, you never put on makeup, how can I help you draw your eyebrows? You just enter into a state of meditation when you sleep every night, how can I help you change your clothes?"
Xu Yinglian just sneered, which clearly meant "I don't care, just wait to die."
Chen Guanshui felt bad. Although Junior Sister Xu had issued a death declaration to him long ago, the probability of the hatchet being used was relatively small. But if Shi Liuli was desperately fanning the flames, there was no guarantee that Junior Sister Xu would not be furious, desperate, and take risks to kill her relatives for the sake of justice...
"Actually," Kunlun Jing suddenly said, "I think you are focusing on the wrong thing."
The two fairies immediately turned to look at her, and Chen Guanshui also became more alert.
Great, Ajing came to the rescue for me!
"Daoyou is clingy, so Guanshui will act more intimate with you." Kunlun Mirror continued, "Daoyou is independent and self-reliant, so Guanshui prefers to be respectful to you. To put it bluntly, it's not that he favors anyone, but he just chooses the corresponding way to get along with you based on your personalities."
Shi Liuli: ...
Xu Yinglian: ...
Thank you! Chen Guanshui almost swore. Although the two ladies did not turn their heads to look at him, their expressions were already livid.
Obviously, compared to "my husband cares more about other women", "my husband and you are just playing around" is more damaging, so much so that both of them were silenced and couldn't say a word at all.
Chen Guanshui felt that his death was approaching, and he quickly thought about whether he should save himself or run away quickly.
If you want to save yourself in a desperate situation, it feels like nothing you say will work. If you only have one wife, you can hug her and kiss her fiercely to divert your attention, but there are two wives here, and being nice to one will make the other unhappy, which is like caring about the head but not the butt.
But if I choose to escape and wait for the two of them to calm down...it's not impossible.
Chen Guanshui quickly tended to run away and was about to turn around, but Xu Yinglian seemed to have expected it and got to his side first and grabbed his wrist.
"Husband." Her voice was unusually gentle, but the coldness hidden in it seemed to freeze people's hearts. "I really want to know, which of your past feelings for me were from the heart, and which were just for show and you had to do it?"
"I want to know this, too." Shi Liuli smiled with a fake smile, "My husband always draws my eyebrows for me, but I don't know if it's because he really loves me, or if it's just to prevent me from getting suspicious?"
"Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute..." Chen Guanshui tried to struggle, "The ladies really wronged me!"
"Don't forget, I was lurking in the sect to steal the Heaven-Repairing Stone. All the cover-ups were to try to gain status and consolidate power in the sect, so as to win the trust of the headmaster and the immortals. But what good is it to get along with the ladies? After I became Taoist partners with the two of you, all my words and actions were sincere, without any pretense at all!"
He swore and swore again and again, and finally Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli's expressions eased a little.
If you think about it carefully, it is true. If the husband wants to obtain the Heaven-Repairing Stone, he should try his best to please the headmaster and the immortal (which is what he actually did), instead of trying to please his wife - what's the point of that?
In this case, what he did should be from the heart...
"So the reason why my husband married several Taoist companions with different identities was not because he was 'forced' as he said before, but out of his true heart?" Shi Liuli suddenly realized.
"Although I have long suspected that Senior Brother is full of lies." Xu Yinglian said dimly, "But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is still hard to accept."
"I..." Chen Guanshui opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but Shi Liuli had already blocked his way.
"Oh, that's right." Kunlun Jing suddenly said, "The Sky-Repairing Stone is still being smelted. I have to go over and take a look."
His tone was nonchalant, as if he was saying, "I'll go check on the chicken soup stewing on the gas stove." However, the Sky-Burn Stone was placed in a blast furnace and smelted with earth fire. Why would he need to watch it all the time?
It was obvious that she was afraid that the two men would not be able to take action when they saw her, so she ran out and let the two men do what they wanted!
"A Jing! You can't...you can't..." Chen Guanshui's cry was still ringing in his ears, but Kunlun Jing silently said "I'm sorry" in his heart, and then decisively chose to run away.
Arriving at the place where the fragments of Bu Tian Shi were being melted, Kunlun Jing squatted down, hugged his knees, and began to daydream.
To be honest, she also felt that these two women were a little weird.
On the one hand, she could not accept the fact that Chen Guanshui was a polygamous man (note that it was "multiple wives" rather than "multiple concubines"), and on the other hand, because she loved her husband deeply, she began to intrigue against each other... In short, it was very awkward.
As a divine tool, Ajing really cannot understand this complex "human nature"... or at least he cannot understand it now.
“Watch the water, watch the water.” She muttered to herself, as if trying to convince herself, “I can only help you up to this point, but there are some things…you still have to face on your own.”
After a few days, An Zhisu finally got rid of the two demons.
Of course, to be precise, Jiang Li secretly realized that he could not get the Sun True Sword, so he decided to prioritize finding Wei Dongliu and turned back halfway.
An Zhisu was finally able to return to Shushan. He ignored the nagging of Taiyang Zhenmei Sword and went straight to the headmaster Su Jian to tell him the situation.
"Claiming to be the sword spirit of the Sun Zhenmei Sword?" Su Jian's heart sank suddenly.
To be fair, he did not believe that it was the Sun Zhenmei Sword. He was more willing to believe that it was some kind of evil flying sword that occupied the body of the sword immortal and absorbed his flesh and blood in exchange for providing power.
Therefore, Su Jian quickly brought An Zhisu to the bottom floor of the Demon Locking Tower.
Ever since Ling Yunpo's rebellion, Changmei Immortal has been studying the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower.
Logically speaking, with the loss of the fragments of the Heaven-Bulding Stone, there should be a huge loophole in the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower, but in fact, there was no such loophole - this made the Long-browed Immortal very confused.
