"If you're not in a hurry, then that's fine. It doesn't involve the strange tricks you said you had prepared last time. Let me see them."

Could it be that the method of breaking the Yue Mu Sword flaw that I had prepared for so long has to be used on Yi Yihan?

However, this kind of limited competition could hardly reflect Chu Bu She's true level, because he was too embarrassed to call out Bai She...

Let's put aside the small talk for now and get back to the point.

"Yi Han, take a look at this treasure map. Do you know any information?"

"Treasure Map?"

Yi Yihan took the sheepskin scroll that Chu Bushe handed over and looked at the location on it carefully. Before Chu Bushe could explain, she had already determined the direction, compared it with the Da Zhou geomancy map, and recalled the relevant experiences.

Chu Bu She still wanted to take the opportunity to show off, but seeing that he had no chance, he had to give up.

Sure enough, it was difficult for him to show off his little tricks in solving geography questions in front of a smart woman like Yi Yihan.

The sweet and naive princess is still the best!

"Wait a moment, let me look for it."

It was impossible for Yi Yihan to remember all the information she had seen and heard, so she took Chu Bushe into the secret room in the study to search for clues.

There are several large bookshelves in the secret room, which are filled with intelligence files.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you come and see it."

Yi Yihan pulled Chu Bushe's wrist and retreated to the study. The two stood almost shoulder to shoulder, browsing the records in the files together.

The above mentioned is about the period of Empress Tianwu. The empress went on a private trip and landed on a mysterious island that appeared overnight. After the empress left, the island mysteriously disappeared.

During the same period, Xiongbingwei appeared beside Empress Tenmu, and it is hard not to suspect the connection between the two.

Empress Tianwu might have gained something from that island.

"...because the island is mysterious and invisible, some people have tried to find it but failed, so it is also called Qianlong Island."

Yi Yihan watched and read, her frown revealing the confusion and suspicion in her heart.

She was skeptical about any information that was too mysterious.

If this island is really located in the direction pointed by the treasure map, there is no reason why future generations cannot find it, it is such a small place.

She told Chu Bushe her guess:

"Could this be fabricated by Empress Tianwu? In order to highlight her extraordinary opportunities, she can encounter strange things wherever she goes."

Chu Bu She had more ideas. He said:

"I don't know what the climate is like here. This lake may have occasional dry periods, and the water level will drop, and the island in the middle of the lake will naturally be exposed."

After listening to this, Yi Yihan's beautiful eyes lit up and she became interested in Chu Bushe's speculation.

She had never tried to think about such strange stories from this perspective. If this were true, then many seemingly absurd rumors might have a reasonable explanation.

"There is no such wonder in the Western Regions. How did you come up with such a wonderful explanation?"

"Ahem, just guessing~"

Although Chu Bu She was proud, he did not dare to brag about himself.

No matter what, there are indeed mysteries in this world that transcend martial arts. The initial signs of this can be seen in the cultivation of the human body's meridians alone.

Will it ever develop to the point where “one punch shatters the entire road”?

What if the island really popped up and retracted on its own, wouldn't that make him look like a clown?

Yi Yihan continued:

"Then I'll send someone to inquire about the geomantic omen and climate of this place to see when the lake will dry up. If we can catch up, we can go and see it for ourselves."

Chu Buye took back the treasure map and prepared to return to Prince Yu's mansion. Before leaving, he asked:

"Yi Han, forgive me for asking, what is the connection between the soul Gu you mentioned earlier and your mother, Madam Yi?

I may have access to the secrets of the palace, so I can help you find out."

When talking about his mother, Yi Yihan fell silent at first, and a trace of sadness flashed across his beautiful face.

After a long while, she said:

"A kind of Gu technique. The Soul Gu can devour part of the host's soul, affecting the host's martial arts strength. If the Soul Gu cannot feed on the host's blood for a long time, the Soul Gu will take the host to sleep.

Ironically, a long time ago, many women desired to be parasitized by soul insects."

"Ah, why?"

"If the soul is incomplete, the person is incomplete. According to some gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters, that means they cannot enter the six realms of reincarnation and the underworld will not accept them. After the soul is devoured by the soul poison, the host's appearance will age slowly.

Those female soul insects regarded it as a way to maintain their youth and pursued it enthusiastically. "

"How is Madam Yi now?"

Chu Bu She felt that he had asked a not-so-good topic. Just the mention of souls and the like had made him realize that there were actually many mysterious aspects of this world, but he had never had the opportunity to come into contact with them.

But then again, Yi Yihan, can you accept that poisonous insects can devour souls, but still doubt that Qianlong Island is elusive?

I think both of these things are outrageous.

"The rumors are true. During the years I was growing up, my mother's appearance remained unchanged, without any signs of aging. However, she began to suffer from amnesia when I was ten years old, and her sleep time gradually increased.

When I was sixteen, she handed Yuhua Pavilion to me and disappeared from the Western Regions, and her whereabouts are hard to find.

I want to find the soul Gu, and I also want to find my mother..."

When it comes to immortality, a thought flashes through Chu Bushe’s mind.

He seemed to have heard something similar somewhere.

I heard from the businessman Wu Liangde before that the female non-commissioned officers in the returning team had faces that had not aged in half a hundred years.

But at that time he felt that what might be related to it might be the forbidden secret technique of the Heavenly Demon Killing Attraction.

In the 72nd chapter, tsundere sisters are no longer popular.

"It's so lively over there, is there some kind of acrobatics going on?"

Lu Lingyuan, the female head of the yamen, asked doubtfully.

Today is her day to take a break and slack off. No, how can taking a break be called slacking off?

Therefore, she called her female colleagues from the Yamen and Tianyu to go shopping together, and Si Qingyun and Ding Jingjing were among them.

Although there is some competition between the two departments, the conflicts between the departments have nothing to do with the people below. Occasionally, when they have a day off together, they will go out for a walk together.

But generally speaking, traveling is just about finding a dining companion and choosing a restaurant to eat together in the capital at mealtime.

When they passed Chang'an Avenue, they saw that the Martial Arts Square was surrounded by crowds of people and it was very lively.

If there were no festival, it would be difficult to gather so many people in this place.

A few people walked into the restaurant and happened to see their colleagues on duty slacking off.

Lu Lingyuan stepped forward to inquire what was going on below.

"A group of martial arts heroes heard of King Rong's reputation and came to challenge him. Some are from famous and upright families, while others are self-taught martial artists."

When people in the yamen heard words like "Prince Rong" and "fighting", they subconsciously associated them with "attack" and "overtime".

Lu Lingyuan said solemnly: "A serious challenge, or a trick?"

The fellow constable shook his head, also with lingering fear: "It's not true, but many of them are upright disciples, they won't make any mistakes, right?"

Si Qingyun listened in silence, walked to the window on the second floor, and tried to check the situation on the martial arts training square.

But the location of this restaurant is a bit bad. Even if you lean out, you can't see what is happening in the square.

"You guys eat first, I'll go take a look."

Si Qingyun finished speaking and without waiting for a response from her companions, her figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Lu Lingyuan nudged Ding Jingjing with his elbow and asked:

"Is the warden afraid of having to work overtime because of Prince Rong?"

"No, maybe Boss Si is not hungry yet and wants to join in the fun."

......

The martial arts square is a good place to set up stalls on weekdays. People from the martial arts world often sell rare goods, medicinal herbs, and martial arts secrets here.

Occasionally, some rare treasures do appear, and many people come here to try their luck.

The fighting arena in the middle of the square is rarely used. Usually, the owners of martial arts schools ask their disciples to go up there to throw a few punches and promote the name of their school.

After all, if there is a real conflict that needs to be settled, people will definitely fight to the death and it is impossible to stop at a certain point. And how can the emperor allow warriors to draw swords and bleed at will?

Chu Bu She was standing on the stage at this time, looking very annoyed.

Just today, a young knight came from nowhere to challenge him. Chu Bushe saw that the other party was quite polite, so he gave him a beating.

Victory was a foregone conclusion. Even if he didn't practice martial arts, the opponent would have no chance of winning just because of the suppression of his martial arts realm.

But who would have known that after he finished fighting one player, just as he was about to step down and return to the clinic to rest, a large group of young men surrounded him, and with a polite attitude, they wanted to teach him a lesson and have a competition.

Requesting for a competition in front of so many people immediately put him in a difficult position.

If we do not fight, it would be like we are cowardly and people might even doubt the validity of our magical powers.

Let's fight...it's too annoying, but I can't even kill them.

Chu Bu She was really confused about the situation. Where did all these scumbags come from who wanted to challenge him to a duel?

"I am the 34th generation disciple of the Green City Sect, Ji Boduan. I have heard of the reputation of King Rong's magical skills, so I have come to ask for advice on the 'Xiaoyao Baihong Sword'. Please teach me!"

The speaker bowed and saluted. He was wearing a black and white Taoist robe and holding a Yin-Yang sword. The sword guard had a Tai Chi circle and the sword was shiny. It was indeed a good quality sword.

Ji Boduan was polite, but his tone made it seem as if he had some personal grudge against Chu Bushe, as if he was using Chu Bushe to make a name for himself.

Of course, he wanted more to make a name for himself in the capital, stand out among his peers, and win the heart of Hua Miaoyin.

Chu Bu She sensed the other party's subtle hostility and said tactfully:

"Friend Ji, did you see how that man was defeated by me just now?"

Can you weigh your own weight clearly? At least you should make a name for yourself in the martial arts world. If that doesn't work, you should become a true disciple first...

Ji Boduan seemed not to understand Chu Bushe's meaning and remained arrogant:

"Yes, I have seen him. I don't know who his master is. He is not very skilled. I hope Your Highness Prince Rong can let Ji Boduan see the power of your magic."

"Then let me ask you one more question. Do you have a nickname in the martial arts world? What about 'Three Swords, Two Knives, Left Hand and Right Hand'? Are you one of the 'Three Swords'?"

The disciple of the Bicheng Sect finally understood what Chu Bushe meant. He felt that he was being looked down upon and frowned.

"It will be in the future. Please give me some advice now, Prince Rong!"

Off the field, there were already quite a few people making a fuss, enjoying the fun and asking Chu Bu She to accept the challenge.

The stall owners shouted even louder, just wanting the place to be more lively, to attract more people and bring more "traffic" to their business.

They were outsiders to begin with, so there was no need for them to be afraid of offending King Rong. They could just leave. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Si Qingyun watched from the side for a while, and under Chu Bushe's surprised gaze, she walked to the martial arts stage.

There was a natural coldness and contempt in her cold eyes. She glanced at the people in the audience and said:

“Prince Rong is often attacked, which adds more tasks to the Tianyu Yamen. Now that you have so many people, there is no guarantee that there are assassins hiding among you.

Fight with me first, and then challenge King Rong."

After these words were spoken, the young knights all began to retreat.

In the competition with Prince Rong, he could just stop at a certain point. Under the feet of the emperor, he didn't dare to kill.

But when the Heavenly Prison was first set up, it was specifically used to target people from the martial arts world. The martial arts practiced by the prison wardens were all deadly, and the cost outweighed the gain.

Those who set up stalls still don't mind the trouble, just want to make it as lively as possible:

"Yes, there is a saying that goes, 'To enter a temple to worship Buddha, one must first enter the mountain gate. To see the real Buddha, one must first pass the gate god.' The Warden is the gate god. The young talents from various sects should compete with the Warden first!"

Now, the ones who are embarrassed are those young disciples of the upright sects who have just entered the martial arts world.

The announcement of the duel has already been made. If they withdraw now, they will be considered the cowardly party.

But the desire to survive was there, and finally those people made excuses one after another, claiming that they had urgent matters, and ran away in a hurry.
