There are a total of eight cells in this dungeon. At this moment, the other seven cells are empty. Only the innermost one holds Xia Ming.
In other words, at this moment, there are only two people, Heishui and Xia Ming, in this dark and suffocating dungeon.
Heishui came to the old door and looked through the iron fence at Xia Ming, who was sitting cross-legged against the wall inside.
After a while, he said coldly: "Buy Wolf Howl and try to assassinate Dragon Whip."
"Xia Ming, you are so brave."
"The sins you have committed must be punished on the spot. Now let me ask you, are you afraid?"
Xia Ming opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Qi Beizun, I am not afraid."
"Oh?" Heishui sneered: "Tell me, who gives you such confidence?"
Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. He arranged his clothes and his expression became solemn.
Then, facing the black water, he knelt down and whispered: "Disciple, pay homage to the master!"
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness in nurturing me."
Heishui was silent, and the situation was changing in his eyes. For a moment, there was even a cold murderous intent.
Eventually, all the complicated emotions receded and calm returned.
He snorted and sneered: "Tell me, when did you recognize me?"
Xia Ming said excitedly: "Last night! No, it's during the day today!"
"Although Master's image has changed, his eyes are still familiar to me. Especially, when Master looked at Qin Tian, I saw what I saw last night."
Blackwater: "What?"
Xia Ming: "Murderful intent."
Heishui sneered and said: "No wonder you are so confident. It turns out you have this little thought. Yes, I do underestimate you."
Xia Ming pondered for a moment and said: "But there is one thing I don't understand -"
Heishui sneered: "You want to know that when I appeared as your guide, I was different from my current figure, right?"
Xia Ming nodded, his eyes full of doubts.
As the crown prince of the largest wealthy family in the north, Xia Ming and Heishui, the highest official in the northern arena, naturally have many opportunities to meet.
Before, he had never associated the mysterious guide with Black Water. It was because their bodies were completely different.
Heishui is a fat man with a big belly, and the mysterious guide, although he has a strong physique, can never be called fat.
Especially the belly, there is not even a bit of fat.
With such a big difference, how could it be the same person?
"It's just a little trick, just watch it."
Heishui said in a deep voice, took a breath, and his body shape slowly changed. Not only the big belly slowly disappeared like a deflated ball.
Even his size seems to have grown.
Sucking your stomach is originally a very common thing. Basically everyone can do it in life.
However, if you can suck the stomach into the black water like this and maintain it for a long time without affecting any actions, it is a completely advanced qigong.
"I see!"
Xia Ming said excitedly: "Master's miracle, my disciple worships it."
After hesitating for a moment, he added: "However, I still have a lot of doubts in my heart. I would like to ask Master to clear up my doubts."
Heishui pondered for a moment and said, "I know what you want to ask. Now that things have developed to this point, it's time to let you know some things."
"Let's start from the beginning. Have you heard of the ancient legend of the evil god?"
"The ancient legend of the fierce god?" Thinking of something, Xia Ming's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "The master is talking about the fierce temple that has been circulating in the north for a long time?"
"Isn't that just a legend? Is there really a vicious god in the world?"
Heishui nodded, his deep voice echoing in the dark dungeon, and he slowly told a secret.
