On the flat, grassless red earth, a very wide and endless stretch of red water bisects it in two.
To the west, at the end where heaven and earth meet, two solitary sunsets hung. The rays of light fell on the ground, flowing red like blood.
Not far away there was a wisp of solitary smoke, floating straight up into the sky. There was a small boat floating on the Chishui River not far away from the solitary smoke. There was a rickety old man sitting on the boat, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a fishing pole.
Behind him, a middle-aged man stood with his hands lowered and respectfully, with a portrait of Yusheng Inn's Baicao between his brows.
I don't know how long it had been quiet, but the old man's fishing rod suddenly shook.
"A fish has taken the bait." The middle-aged man reminded diligently.
The rickety old man said "Hmm" indifferently, and did not move his hands, still sitting there, letting the fishing rod be pulled by the fish in the water.
After a long time, when the pulling force became smaller, the rickety old man shook his hand, and the fishhook was pulled out of the water. At the same time, a strange fiery red fish was brought out.
This fish is about two feet long, has ten fiery red bodies, but only one head. Its body looks like a peacock spreading its tail in the air, which is really beautiful.
This fish was chewing the bait with relish when it suddenly appeared in the air. The whole person was blinded. It stared blankly at the two of them with wide eyes, and continued to swallow the bait.
When the middle-aged man reached out to catch it, the strange fish reacted, let go of the straight hook, and fired a burst of fire at the grabbing hand.
The middle-aged man did not expect the red fish to have this move. He was caught off guard and his hand was touched by the flames. Before he could even grunt, the burning smell came from his hand.
The rickety old man stretched out his hand to grab the body of the fish and relieved the middle-aged man, "Young man, don't be impatient, or you will suffer."
"Yes." The middle-aged man listened respectfully to the old man's teachings. At the same time, a ball of green light came out of his left hand and touched his burned right hand - no effect was seen.
Without looking back, the old man stuffed the fish into a box made of black iron, threw a piece of bait over, "chew it into pieces and apply it on the wound."
"Chew it?" The middle-aged man looked at the dough-like cake in his hand, which was dark, mixed with unknown internal organs, and had a fishy smell, and he hesitated.
However, he did not dare to disobey the old man after all. The middle-aged man carefully put the bait in his mouth, chewed it up and applied it.
"The fire in this fish comes from Yu Yuan at sunset. It is the pure fire of heaven and earth. It cannot be cured by ordinary methods." The rickety old man hung up the bait again and threw the hook into the red water.
He sighed, "These three-legged crows are very greedy, and they like to eat the fish here the most. It takes a lot of effort for me to get them to do their job."
The old man beat his waist and legs and spoke kindly, but there was an easily detectable anger in his tone.
The middle-aged man knew that his old man could not tame the rebellious three-legged blackbird for the time being, so he was blaming them for their incompetence in doing things.
He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll urge them to be more prompt when I get back and get the soul seal from you as soon as possible."
The old man turned around and frowned: "I won't tell you anymore. Don't be impatient. Why are you disobedient?"
The middle-aged man was frightened and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
The old man turned back and continued to stare at the fishing rod, "Don't try to be the second best in the world. There are some things that you can't bear."
"yes."
"But we can reveal the little brother's identity." The old man looked at the water and smiled, "We can fish in troubled waters then."
The middle-aged man hesitated, "What if the guy from Lingshan took advantage of the opportunity and took away the soul seal?"
The man in Lingshan who calls himself the Emperor of Heaven is from the same family as the old man.
According to the old man, the way of heaven that originally moved by itself had its own spiritual consciousness. There are generally three soul consciousnesses like all living things in the world, one for heaven, one for earth, and one for living beings.
Later, due to some strange combination of circumstances, a soul seal was taken away by King Donghuang in some unknown way.
The remaining two soul seals cannot be combined into one.
By chance, the Heavenly Soul Seal relied on the worship of the Emperor of Heaven in the witch academy, which became the belief of the witches and became a veritable Emperor of Heaven.
The master's soul mark is in a miserable state, wandering around in reincarnation, and has only awakened now.
Now both of them want to get the soul seal of King Donghuang's son and become the Supreme.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if King Donghuang's son dies, and the soul mark is taken away by Lingshan, then the old man in front of him has no chance of winning.
"Oh, do you think King Donghuang's son can be killed so easily?"
The old man's eyes were deep and his words were meaningful, "How far have you seen the abilities of the Four Wild Kings? Their abilities can even go against the laws of heaven."
If they don't gather the three soul seals, the incarnation of Heavenly Dao can't do anything to them, so the old man can only hide behind to avoid a direct collision with King Donghuang.
From this point of view, the old man who had awakened his soul mark was really envious of King Donghuang's silly son. He didn't even know what he was doing, but he already had an extra helper.
This is also the reason why they have to strike first. If Yu Sheng learns about the existence of the Three Soul Seals, they will suffer.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, but I couldn't share them with outsiders.
The old man just said: "If you want to kill the son of King Donghuang, you will have to go through a lot of troubles. You are not afraid of the Lingshan Mountain moving, but you are afraid that the Lingshan Mountain will not move. As long as they make any move, you should keep an eye on me. Let's have a mantis catch the cicada or the oriole."
back."
"yes."
The old man asked again, "Are the instruments ready?"
"I can't get Qinse for a while, and the stupid son of King Donghuang will never go to sea." The middle-aged man said this with a bit of anger.
Firstly, he hated that Baicao was too upright and could not tell him what he wanted, so he waited for an opportunity to act. Secondly, he hated that he would not go to sea for the rest of his life and would not be able to obtain the two treasures.
Fortunately, Ku Mu Hall's Ku was reliable and "I temporarily got two spare ones, drums made from Shan Yu's belly." said the middle-aged man.
The old man looked at the fishing water without saying anything. The middle-aged man knew that this was the old man's acquiescence.
The two of them stood for a while, but the strange fish still did not come out of the water. Instead, a black shadow appeared on the horizon. In the blink of an eye, it came to the Chishui River, skimmed across the water and landed on the boat.
The visitor wore a mask that looked like a singer from a previous life, with bells tied to his wrists and ankles, and he made sweet sounds with his movements.
She looked at the man with cold eyes, but her whole body was radiating warmth, causing the middle-aged man to take a step back.
As the Lord of Siyou City, he knew that this girl was Hanba, the owner of Chishui.
Drought Demon appeared during Yu Sheng's fight with Ni Niu. He originally wanted to persuade Ni Niu to obey orders and send back the soul mark he had obtained. Unexpectedly, he overestimated his ability and wanted to use it himself.
Its abacus is quite good, and its body is almost invincible. If it has the soul mark, it will surpass all gods and be equal to the supreme god.
However, the soul couldn't bear the soul mark and was directly burned to death.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man secretly cursed Yunyong for being sick.
"Are you back?" The rickety old man turned back to Hanba and said with a kind smile, which was much better than his attitude towards the middle-aged man.
Hanbao nodded, "The King of Northern Wilderness has noticed that the mummies of Southern Wilderness are unusual, but..."
"Just what?"
"He didn't seem to care very much and put all his energy into understanding reincarnation," Hanba said.
"Niang Xipi!" The old man threw the fishing rod and jumped three feet high. "Let him be in charge of reincarnation instead of letting him control reincarnation. Now he has actually taken my job."
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet in hatred, but couldn't do anything.
…
Yangzhou, Jiannang Town.
When Yu Sheng returned to the town, it was already dark, the guests had gone to bed, and only Hei Niu and Ye Zigao were making love to each other in the lobby.
No, there is another person. Feng'er is chattering next to the two of them. Although the two of them are not listening, Feng'er's words are correct.
She was so suffocated. After the curse was lifted by Baicao, the priest Siyou who sold her the rest of her life during the day, she said she still felt tired.
The only thing that made her unhappy was that Hei Niu and Ye Zigao couldn't hear her.
