Chapter 267: Stop pretending, show your cards, I just...
"Uncle Li, who are you?"
Looking into Li An's deep eyes, Shi Hao couldn't help but ask.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
When he was young, he felt that his Uncle Li was omnipotent and made many novel and interesting toys for him.
Very happy.
Every time, he was envied by skin monkeys, snot-nosed babies, and idiots, which greatly satisfied the young Shi Hao's little vanity and felt that his Uncle Li was the most powerful person in the world.
However, as he came into contact with spiritual practice, although Uncle Li still respected him very much in his mind, the aura of his childhood gradually faded away and he became synonymous with erudition.
Although Uncle Li knows a lot, his cultivation cannot be very advanced, and he cannot become strong even if he is bald.
However, with the improvement of his realm and the encounter in Kunpeng's lair, Uncle Li, who was gradually able to see clearly, once again became shrouded in mystery.
It seems that my Uncle Li is a master?
No, it's not like it looks like it, but it's definitely a super strong person in the eight realms.
Just some of the things he taught when he was young were able to crack the Kunpeng Nest that all the immortal inheritances in the wilderness were helpless to do together.
Yes, that's it.
Shi Hao looked at Li An's face with burning eyes, trying to find the answer he wanted.
After he asked this question, he seemed very surprised, and Li An did not speak for a while.
But his originally calm eyes became deeper, looking back at Shi Hao.
It made Shi Hao feel a little uneasy.
And the next moment, under his gaze, Li An stood up from the rocking chair, his black hair fluttering wildly, his hands behind his back, and his temperament suddenly changed, like a descendant of an immortal.
"Since you've already guessed it, let's stop pretending and let's show off my cards. I just..."
He said slowly and in a serious tone.
Sure enough.
My Uncle Li is by no means an ordinary person.
But what kind of thunderous identity is hidden under his ordinary appearance?
Shi Hao was breathing rapidly, staring at Li An in front of him without blinking, and his heart was extremely excited.
"I am your Uncle Li!"
The figure in front of him was majestic and peerless. He had his hands behind his back, his eyes were extremely deep, and he spoke proudly.
Oh, it turns out that the true identity of my Uncle Li is actually your Uncle Li. This is really amazing!
Wuhu, take off!
Shi Hao's mind was agitated, and for a moment he didn't feel anything was wrong.
But at the next moment, his excited little face collapsed,
"ah?"
Shi Hao had a question mark on his face.
Of course I know Uncle Li, it’s my Uncle Li!
"Hahaha!"
Looking at the confused naughty child, Li An sat down again and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Uncle Li, you are teasing me again."
Shi Hao looked annoyed at being teased, turned around angrily, squatted on the ground and drew circles.
His face was extremely depressed.
She obviously didn't want to tell him, she said it deliberately, and she thought he was a child and wanted to hide everything from him.
"Okay, okay, Uncle Li won't tease you anymore."
Li An smiled and helped him up, and then his face became extremely serious, "But do you know why I don't tell you my true identity?"
"Why?"
Shi Hao was stunned for a moment.
Originally, he thought that Uncle Li was just trying to seduce him by not telling him, so he begged Uncle Li to tell him his true identity.
But now it sounds like there is something hidden?
"You, Uncle Li, and I do have some strength in this world. If I want, I can indeed help you solve some of your troubles, and even..."
"The entire Stone Kingdom can be destroyed."
Li An made an understatement and continued to speak.
He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the dim stars in the night sky with a friendly voice.
"But……"
"After all, I am me, not you. What if one day, I am no longer by your side, but you encounter a strong enemy?"
"Or is it so powerful that even I can't solve it?"
"So, it is fundamental to become stronger yourself."
Li An speaks with seriousness and sincerity, and talks eloquently.
"Yes, I understand, Uncle Li!"
Shi Hao seemed to understand, but he clenched his fists and said firmly.
"Also, do you know why I said before that my identity is your Uncle Li?"
Li An smiled and touched Shi Hao's head and said.
"ah?"
Shi Hao was stunned again.
"Because I don't want you to be proud of my nephew's identity, but one day, when people mention me, you can ignore my other identities and say that he is..."
"Shi Hao's uncle!"
Li An had his hands behind his back, and his figure became extremely tall.
"Uncle Li..."
Shi Hao was stunned, staring blankly at the majestic figure in front of him, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Finally, he wiped the slightly red eye circles, smiled on his face, and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, one day, I will make you proud of being my uncle!"
His tone was full of high morale and blood boiling.
"Okay, I believe you."
Li An nodded and smiled.
"Um!"
Shi Hao clenched his fists, his eyes determined, one day he would make Uncle Li proud of him.
"By the way, Uncle Li, I will tell you the Kunpeng magic."
Later, Shi Hao told Li An all the treasures he had obtained in Kunpeng's nest, and he talked endlessly.
Li An smiled and did not interrupt him, but listened carefully.
"Uncle Li, I will stay in the village to spend more time with you when I come back this time."
After describing the Kunpeng treasure, Shi Hao said.
But after he finished speaking, Li An shook his head: "I'm afraid you will leave again soon."
"Why?"
Shi Hao was puzzled. He just returned to the village, full of joy and joy. He brought back many specialties from the sea, especially those to eat. There were as many as hills, and he wanted to celebrate with his tribe.
"Your grandfather showed up." Li An said.
"What?!" Shi Hao was shocked, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he was stunned, his mood ups and downs, including sadness, joy, surprise and other emotions combined together.
"My grandfather...is still alive?!"
In his childhood memories, he clearly remembered that his grandfather, in order to celebrate his birth, went to the battlefield of hundreds of tribes and hunted and killed a young Pixiu, hoping to baptize him with its blood.
As a result, an adult Pixiu was provoked, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead. There has been no news for so many years, and everyone thought he had died in the battle.
Otherwise, why didn't you show up for so many years?
If he was still alive, he should have come back long ago, especially if Shi Hao's supreme bones were dug up, the old man would not tolerate it if he were still alive.
But now I heard news about him from my Uncle Li?
After feeling agitated in his heart, Shi Hao barely suppressed the emotion in his heart and asked, "Where is my grandfather?"
"In the imperial capital of the Stone Kingdom."
Li An stretched out a finger and pointed into the distance.
"Imperial Capital..."
Shi Hao was startled, that was the place where he was really born.
Prince Wu's Mansion, Yu Clan, Demon Spirit Lake... each of these impressive names came to mind along with childhood memories.
Complicated feelings.
There, he has a past that he cannot bear to look back on.
Now, his grandfather has returned there. With his character, he will definitely be mad when he learns about those things back then. It is foreseeable that he will directly attack Prince Wu's Mansion and the Yu Clan to seek justice for himself.
But Prince Wu's Mansion and the Yu Clan are so powerful that even the Stone Emperor must treat each other with courtesy and not dare to embarrass them too much.
If his grandfather forced his way in, he would probably...
Seemingly sensing the worry in his heart, Li An patted his shoulder and told him not to worry too much, and then briefly told him what happened a while ago.
"What? Grandpa made a big fuss in Prince Wu's Mansion and shot King Rain's body with an arrow..." Shi Hao was surprised and was in a daze for a while, then his eyes turned red and mist appeared.
He knew that when the old man learned about his past experiences, he would be so angry that he would definitely seek justice.
But he never expected that his grandfather would be so brave. After making a big fuss in Prince Wu's Mansion, he would go to the Rain Clan alone and almost kill the Rain Prince.
"Grandpa, you are really strong!"
When Shi Hao heard that the old man had killed the Ancient Jade Demon Black Eyed Spider, he was even more amazed. His grandfather was so powerful. He had swept and crushed him all the way since his return.
However, the worry in his heart became even heavier.
Will Prince Wu's Mansion, Rain Clan, Demon Spirit Lake and other forces allow their grandfather to "act recklessly" like this? I'm afraid they will unite and take action against him when the time comes.
No matter how brave his grandfather was, he was still alone and could not compete with all the major forces.
"I'm going to see grandpa."
Finally, Shi Hao took a deep breath and made a decision.
He wants to return to the imperial capital.
There, he had his own sadness and pain. It was a place that he couldn't bear to look back on, with too much sadness and sadness.
But now, he must go back.
He wanted to return to the Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom, meet his grandfather, and make a break with the past.
"Okay, go ahead with peace of mind."
Li An smiled and nodded, stroking his head.
This is the first step for Shi Hao to truly spread his wings and take off, and will truly announce his existence to the world.
Take the path that belongs to Emperor Huang Tian.
…
In the early morning of the second day, the morning glow was brilliant and the golden light shone.
Shi Hao appeared at the head of the village early, ready to hit the road.
All the clan members came, from the old man who couldn't walk to the baby who was still nursing, the clan leader Shi Yunfeng, members of the hunting team, uncles and aunts, Pihou, Erluzi and other childhood playmates, and even the spirit beasts in the village.
All came to see him off.
"My child, please don't show off. You must protect yourself."
"Yeah, be careful along the way."
The villagers were reluctant to leave. They just came back yesterday and were leaving again today, which really made them feel a little distressed.
Thousands of warnings.
Especially the patriarch Shi Yunfeng, who had watched Shi Hao grow up since he was a child, and had already regarded him as his own grandson. Now that they were separated again, this resolute old man actually secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
However, they could not stop him because Shi Hao was going to see his grandfather and realize his dream of family reunion. This was a happy event and no one would dissuade him. They were all happy for him.
"Uncle Li, I want to reach the Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom as soon as possible."
After saying goodbye to his clan members one by one, Shi Hao looked at Li An expectantly, a little hopeful.
Although I already knew that my Uncle Li was not an ordinary person, and was probably a peerless powerhouse, I still wanted to see him display his great powers with my own eyes.
"You want me to send it?"
Li An met Shi Hao's expectant gaze and asked.
"Um."
Shi Hao nodded seriously.
"Oh well."
A peaceful smile appeared on Li An's face. This is what you asked for. Don't blame your Uncle Li!
Suddenly, Shi Hao shivered intelligently, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"No, let's forget it, Uncle Li. I'm on my own."
But before he could finish speaking, the next moment his premonition came true, he was lifted up, and then there was Ichika in front of him.
When he raised his head and looked down, he found that his field of vision was getting higher and higher, and Ishimura had become a small black dot in his eyes.
"ah!"
Shi Hao screamed and turned into a meteor, breaking through the sky at high speed and disappearing.
Heading towards the direction of the Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom.
…
Shiguo, the imperial capital.
This is the most prosperous area in the entire ancient country, with busy traffic, people coming and going, three religions and nine streams, and all kinds of people. It is a lively place.
The huge royal capital is majestic, majestic and solemn. The city wall is made of diamond rock and is extremely majestic. It is like a black mountain ridge lying across the horizon, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The palace is magnificent, like a heavenly palace descending on the earth. It is tall and majestic. The interior is splendid, with carved beams and painted buildings, and indescribable luxury and wealth.
The streets in the city crisscross each other, and every main street is paved with bluestones, so there is no problem for multiple bronze beast carts running in parallel.
On the street, ferocious beasts roared, roared and roared from time to time, pulling cars rumbling with extraordinary majesty.
Shi Hao was walking alone on the avenue of the imperial capital. He had been in the imperial capital for a while and was familiar yet unfamiliar with this city where he had lived.
During this period of time, after he entered the imperial capital, he had been inquiring about his grandfather, hoping to find him and reunite his ancestors and grandson.
However, after many days of inquiring, it made him even more worried.
Some time ago, there was a great earthquake in the imperial capital. The Great Demon God returned and took a powerful attack. He first attacked King Wu, then defeated King Rain, and then killed the Ancient Jade Demon Black-Eyed Spider. His power was shocking to the world!
But after a series of horrifying events, the great demon who was supposed to be the center of heated discussion seemed to have disappeared.
Haven't seen it for a long time.
Rumor has it that the Lord from Demon Spirit Lake came and entered the imperial capital to seek an explanation. He even had a fight with members of the royal family, forcing the great demon to leave his hometown.
Another theory is that the ancient demon spider came with great force and issued a message to target the Fifteenth Master. As a result, the Emperor protected him, but now he just kept a low profile and said that the Fifteenth Master is actually still in the imperial capital.
Most people doubt it and think it is not accurate.
Another theory says that the Emperor told him where the Shizi Mausoleum was, and that the fifteenth master had traveled far away on a starry night to find his heir and left this huge city.
People feel that this statement is very likely to be true.
"grandfather!"
Shi Hao clenched his fists silently, feeling anxious in his heart.
If he hadn't left the imperial capital as speculated, and his grandfather hadn't shown up for so long, then he definitely had concerns.
He had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't be sure of anything.
In the next two days, he continued to run around the imperial capital, hoping to find the whereabouts of the Fifteenth Master, but the city was really too huge, and he only covered less than a quarter of the area in two days.
Finally, he passed by Prince Wu's Mansion, looked at it from a distance, and was lost in thought for a while, but finally did not go in.
"Where is grandpa?" Shi Hao sighed and came full of hope, but in the end it was a step too late. Did he miss it?
In the next few days, the imperial capital became prosperous again, as if the turbulence of the previous period had subsided.
The peace and harmony of the past have been restored.
But on this day, an unexpected person came back.
Shi Ziteng!
Perhaps few people in the imperial capital know this name, but his other identity is known to everyone.
The legendary saint born with double eyes, Shi Yi's father.
It can be said that this is a being who has single-handedly increased the fertility rate of the entire Stone Kingdom.
The entire imperial capital was singing and singing every night, from the princes and nobles to the common people, every couple was desperately trying to create a child, hoping to give birth to a child like Shi Yi.
Everyone wants to be the second Shi Yi’s father.
Now, Shi Ziteng's return has immediately alarmed some major forces in the imperial capital. The reason is that he did not come back alone, there were some people who came back with him.
Several of them are exceptionally powerful and majestic.
Even another spiritual body of the ancient demon spider appeared with Shi Ziteng and reappeared in the imperial capital of the Stone Kingdom. This time he was even more powerful and made many people shudder.
The Great Demon God killed his spirit body a few days ago, and now he has come again, obviously for revenge.
"The Human Emperor summoned Shi Ziteng into the palace. I don't know why. Is it because of the conflict between the Great Demon God and Demon Spirit Lake? What stance will he take this time?"
On this day, such news came from the Imperial Capital. Some people even rumored that the Great Demon God was actually still in the Imperial Capital and was being detained. Where to go depends on the attitude of the Human Emperor.
As soon as such rumors came out, undercurrents immediately surged, and many people discussed it privately.
Shi Hao, who was in the imperial capital, was always paying attention to him. He naturally knew it very well, and his heart became heavier and heavier, giving rise to a hidden worry.
And a piece of news came out not long after, confirming that his worries were not unfounded.
On that day, Shi Ziteng entered the palace to talk to the Human Emperor, and some words came out.
"Uncle Fifteen is old, but I am still in my prime, and Yi'er is just starting out. He is a born saint, with double eyes and supreme power, unrivaled by anyone of his generation, and no one can predict his achievements.
At worst, he can aspire to win the Eight Realms!"
These are Shi Ziteng's remarks, describing a magnificent blueprint and revealing great ambitions.
I drew a big cake for Emperor Shi.
As soon as these words came out, the world didn't know whether Shihuang had eaten this big cake, but they tasted really good anyway.
Yes, he is a born saint with double eyes, and his future achievements are unpredictable. In addition, the combination of the Supreme Bone is unprecedented, and it is really not an empty talk for the Stone Kingdom to aspire to the Eight Realms.
In addition, when Shi Ziteng met the Human Queen, he also made some remarks that stirred up a big stir and seemed to make the Stone Emperor's emotions fluctuate.
"It doesn't matter what is right or wrong now. No matter how you say it, Yi'er is the Young Supreme. This fact cannot be changed. After filling the gaps with the Heaven-Mending Technique, he will be perfect without any flaws. No one can stop his rise.
No. But, what does Uncle Fifteen have, where is his Hao'er, and who among this generation can defeat Yi'er?!"
After Shi Ziteng's words came out, the imperial capital was in an uproar and many powerful forces were surprised.
"If the wilderness is in chaos, Yi'er will inevitably rise and become the God of War who protects the country."
Afterwards, all of Shi Ziteng's remarks were spread.
"Uncle Fifteen has nothing left. Even if his Hao'er is still alive, there is no way he can be as good as Yi'er. I would like to ask the Human Emperor to take out the divine blood left by the sacrifice to the spirit and wash Yi'er's body."
These words naturally caused an uproar. Using the blood of sacrificial gods to cleanse the body is not the treatment of the heir to the throne.
During the tens of thousands of years that the Stone Kingdom had stood in the wilderness, every member of the royal family who had refined their bodies with the blood of sacrificial spirits and gods, without exception, became the human emperor of the Stone Kingdom.
Is Shi Yi really going to inherit the throne?
Everyone is speculating that the Human Emperor is old and may really start to choose a successor.
Although Shi Yi is still young, he has unlimited potential and is the most likely candidate.
But it's not that he is incompetent, there are other princes.
In the past few days, the emperor could not be calm. It was like a stormy sea raging in the palaces of the princes.
Shi Hao, who was always paying attention, took in all the news and couldn't help clenching his fists. Shi Ziteng's words made him extremely angry.
If it fell into the ears of his grandfather, what would the old man think and how sad would he be? Is this deceiving that there is no successor in their lineage?
"Yi'er is the Young Supreme. No one can stop his rise. But what does Uncle Fifteen have? Where is his Hao'er? Who among this generation can compete with Yi'er?!"
These words were like thunder, containing endless ridicule and pride, echoing in Shi Hao's ears, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.
"Haha, in that case, let me let you know that your Yi'er is not truly invincible of his generation."
He stood up quickly.
It's not that he couldn't help the tone in his heart, he could endure it, but...
But he doesn't want grandpa to be sad. He wants grandpa to know that he is still alive and still in this world, and he is already very strong and not weaker than anyone else!
"I'm back!"
"I want you to know that I am still alive and now I am back. From now on, the name Shi Hao will no longer be illusory, but has flesh and blood and is still in the world!"
…
But on this day, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, dark clouds came over me.
In front of the majestic Prince Wu's Mansion, a handsome young man walked slowly over, with an imposing manner, like an unparalleled god-king.
"Stop, tell me who is coming, please tell me your name!" the guard at the gate scolded.
He has already raised the spear in his hand.
However, the young man did not stop moving forward, and walked firmly and resolutely towards Prince Wu's palace.
"I……"
"Shi Hao was born to be a supreme being, but when he was a child, you had the supreme bones dug away and grafted into Shi Yi's body. Come back today to ask for an explanation!"
His tone was calm, but there was a breathtaking power that resounded through the sky and spread throughout the streets and alleys, especially far away, like the roar of a dragon or a tiger.
"What?" The voice was deafening, and Prince Wu's palace was shaken. Everyone could not sit still, and their eyes were horrified.
boom!
At this moment, everyone in the imperial capital was shocked. This news was like a hurricane, sweeping through the entire giant city, and all the major forces were trembling.
I did nucleic acid tests until midnight last night, and then I got up and continued to do nucleic acid tests this morning. Then there was a case in the town, or several cases. Now the whole community has been sealed off, and I’m a little panicked (>▂
