"The Sishui River's water is surging, the Fire Dragon Subduing the Fire Dragon has appeared, the enchantment of the Heavenly Lake has been broken, and the ferocious ghosts of the Luoyu Village have been subdued. You've been to three of these four places. Strange phenomena have appeared frequently, but you've gained nothing. If I were Matsumoto Takeyoshi, I would also be suspicious of you," Yagi Zhangqing said to Ye Fan, whose pupils had contracted.
"When the enchantment of the Heavenly Lake was broken, I was in the East Sea," Ye Fan said to Bamu Changqing. "Matsumoto Takeyoshi saw it with his own eyes."
"How long do you think you can fool Matsumoto Takeyoshi with your tricks?" Bamu Changqing turned to look at Ye Fan. "You are the King of the Devil World. If you want your primordial spirit to leave your body, it will be as easy as flipping your hand!"
Ye Fan's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He looked up at Bamu Changqing!
"It seems that Matsumoto Takeyoshi guessed correctly. You have indeed found the divine cauldron," Bamu Changqing turned his head and said calmly. "The expert who broke the enchantment of the Heavenly Lake was none other than you, Brother Ye."
Ye Fan remained silent. It could be considered a tacit admission.
"You must have rushed to Tibet because of the divine cauldron, right?" Bamu Changqing looked at the sea and asked Ye Fan.
"Yes," Ye Fan replied.
Since Bamu Changqing had already deduced it clearly, there was no need for him to hide it.
"The reason why Matsumoto Takeyoshi sent you this time was to test you and see if you are sincere in working for him," Bamu Changqing continued. "If the fire meteor is destroyed this time, you will confirm Matsumoto Takeyoshi's suspicion of you. At that time, you will be in a passive position. It is very likely that Matsumoto Takeyoshi will send you to carry out some trivial tasks and stay away from the clues of the Nine Cauldrons."
Ye Fan's expression turned solemn after hearing this. He did not say a word.
He had calculated everything and was careful everywhere. In the end, Matsumoto Takeyoshi still saw through his flaws.
Even Bamu Changqing could deduce these things, let alone Matsumoto Takeyoshi!
He was right. If he planned to destroy the fire meteor this time, then Matsumoto Takeyoshi would completely lose trust in him. He would not give him any clues of the Nine Cauldrons at all!
"Listen to my advice. Complete this task successfully and dispel Matsumoto Takeyoshi's suspicion of you," Bamu Changqing said to Ye Fan. "There is an old saying in the Central Plains that goes, 'cleverness leads to the downfall of cleverness'. Being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."
"Why are you helping me?" Ye Fan frowned and asked Bamu Changqing.
"I don't have many friends. You are one of them," Bamu Changqing said with a smile.
"Brother Bamu, I …" Bamu Changqing's words warmed Ye Fan's heart. He did not know what to say.
"Don't 'you' and 'me'. I'll clean up the fish. You go make the fire and get some fresh water," Bamu Changqing said with a smile as he patted Ye Fan's shoulder.
"Okay." Ye Fan nodded with a smile.
He put down the tuna fish in his hand and went directly to the black smoke coming out of the fire. He made the fire burn brighter and found a three-foot rock nearby. He used the ice dagger in his hand to cut out a flat stone slab. Then, he hollowed out the rest of the stone and made a stone pot.
The stone slab was used to fry the fish fillets and the stone pot was used to make the fish bone soup.
He set up the stone pot, then activated the ice core in his body and pointed at the stone pot.
Whoosh …
A ray of cold air gushed out from his fingertips and shot into the stone pot.
After the white light flashed, the stone pot was filled with ice cubes that were emitting cold smoke.
With ice, there would naturally be fresh water.
On the other side, Bamu Changqing's ice dagger flew up and down. Soon, he removed the scales and bones of the two three-foot long tuna fish.
He first put the fish heads and bones into the stone pot. Then, he placed the fish fillets on the flat stone slab that Ye Fan had just cut out and gently smoothed them out.
Whoosh …
The ice dagger in Bamu Changqing's hand quickly slid on the fish fillets. His movements were smooth and unrestrained!
After the cold light of the dagger flashed, the fat and tender fish fillets were instantly turned into hundreds of thin sashimi slices!
He was the Sect Master of Koga Ryu in Japan. His swordsmanship was naturally not a problem.
Bamu Changqing divided the stone slab and the sashimi slices into two. Half of them were roasted on the fire and the other half were eaten raw.
"You stay here and watch the fire. I'll go get some oysters," Bamu Changqing said to Ye Fan with a smile as he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the beach.
Ye Fan smiled and shook his head.
The Japanese placed great importance on food. They would not compromise at all. It could be said that their food culture had reached the pinnacle.
Sizzle …
Under the roasting of the fire, the fat and tender fish fillets on the stone slab splattered and emitted a tempting fish fragrance.
"What a strong fish fragrance!"
Ye Fan was fiddling with the fire when Kamehameha's old voice came from afar.
Ye Fan raised his head and looked at Kamehameha.
He saw that he was dragging an extremely huge withered tree with his left hand and carrying a wooden staff on his shoulder with his right hand.
On the wooden staff, there were three pheasants, a wild rabbit, three or four huge coconuts, and a huge wild boar.
In his arms, there were all kinds of wild fruits that he could not name. They were all bright red.
When Ye Fan saw this, he was secretly shocked.
This Kamehameha was so strong!
The huge withered tree and the fat wild boar weighed at least 500 kilograms!
However, Kamehameha's expression was relaxed and he even whistled.
It was an eye-opener for him to have such physical strength at such an old age.
"Mr. Kamehameha, you have a great harvest." Ye Fan smiled at Kamehameha.
"Mr. Ye, you must be joking." Kamehameha first threw the withered tree to the side, then took the wild boar, wild rabbit, and other wild animals from the wooden staff and laughed. "This firewood and game should be enough for us to use for five days."
As he spoke, he slowly walked to the fire and took out all the wild fruits in his arms and placed them on the ground. Then, he reached out and picked up a translucent piece of sashimi from the stone slab and put it into his mouth.
"Hmm, hmm, good knife skills, good ingredients," Kamehameha said with a look of enjoyment. "This time, I can taste the sashimi personally made by Mr. Yagi. It can be said that this trip was worth it, hahaha …"
The sashimi was as thin as a cicada's wing, smooth and tender. The knife skills were neat and uniform, and the plate presentation was so delicate. There was no need to guess that it must have been made by Bamu Changqing.
"Mr. Kamehameha, you made so much food. Are you going to celebrate the New Year on this island?" Bamu Changqing came in front of the two with a large green leaf in his hand and asked Kamehameha with a smile.
The green leaf in his hand was full of fat oysters.
"As long as I have Mr. Yagi's sashimi, the New Year is a New Year." Kamehameha smiled.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then sat around the fire.
At this time, the ice in the stone pot had begun to melt, and bursts of steam were coming out.
Ye Fan broke a pair of chopsticks with a fresh branch and handed it to Kamehameha. He asked with a smile, "Mr. Kamehameha, did you find anything after checking it out just now?"
Kamehameha took the wooden chopsticks from Ye Fan with both hands and said meaningfully, "Everything is as Mr. Ye said. This Devil Island is not simple."
Bamu Changqing looked up and asked Kamehameha while cutting a branch in his hand with an ice dagger, "How is it not simple?"
Kamehameha picked up a piece of sashimi with the chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He said, "This island is blessed by nature. It is like the head of a devil, forming a Feng Shui situation called 'Yimo Suppresses the Sea.'"
Ye Fan and Bamu Changqing asked in unison, "Yimo Suppresses the Sea?"
In terms of cultivation, the two of them were masters, but in terms of Feng Shui, they were both laymen.
"That's right, Yimo Suppresses the Sea." Kamehameha put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand and said, "This' Yimo Suppresses the Sea 'Feng Shui situation is the most sinister and domineering in Feng Shui. It is formed naturally and is extremely rare. I thought I would never see this Feng Shui situation in my lifetime, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today."
Ye Fan took a wild fruit and put it in his mouth. He chewed it carefully and asked calmly, "Is this Feng Shui situation very powerful?"
"It's not very powerful, it's very powerful." Kamehameha said with a serious face, "This' Yimo Suppresses the Sea 'is different from other Feng Shui situations. Other Feng Shui situations at most hide wind, gather qi, and the five elements, but this' Yimo Suppresses the Sea 'is completely different. If this situation is completed, it will automatically absorb the sinister qi of heaven and earth for my use. It will also use illusions to attract passersby to land on the island, then absorb their essence and soul to cultivate. This situation will awaken in a hundred years, gain intelligence in three hundred years, and become a spirit in five hundred years. After a thousand years, it will become a Spirit-devouring Sea Demon. At that time, the human world will be plunged into misery and suffering. "
"Mister Gui He, do you mean that the Spirit-devouring Sea Demon's original form is this island itself?" Ye Fan asked with a frown.
"That's right," Kamehameha answered.
Ye Fan was silent after hearing this.
No wonder he couldn't see what kind of monster it was. After all this fuss, the island itself was the monster's original form!
"In Mister Gui He's opinion, what realm is the 'Yimo Suppresses the Sea' at on Demon Island?" Bamu Changqing asked Kamehameha as he used a sharpened branch to pick up a few pieces of fish that were cooked on the charcoal fire and put them into his mouth.
"In my opinion, this Demon Island's Feng Shui situation has been formed for at least five hundred years and has already become a spirit," Kamehameha said.
"In that case, we will be in danger on this island?" Bamu Changqing asked with a frown.
"Mister Yagi, don't worry. As long as Mister Ye is on this island, we won't be in any danger at all," Kamehameha looked at Ye Fan and said with a smile.
"Mister Gui He, what do you mean by this? Why are you dragging me into this?" Ye Fan smiled as he picked up a huge coconut from the ground. He split it into two halves and handed one half to Kamehameha and the other half to Bamu Changqing.
"Mister Ye is too modest," Kamehameha politely took the coconut with both hands and said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, the sharp corner on the demon's head was cut off by Mister Ye, right?"
Bamu Changqing frowned after hearing this.
Kamehameha is really something!
"Oh? What do you mean, Mister Gui He? "Ye Fan used a branch to stir the charcoal fire and asked Kamehameha with a smile.
