Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Danyang Prefecture, Qingsong City.

More than thirty miles south of Qingsong City, there is the Silver Moon Lake, which covers an area of ​​more than ten miles. It has always been a good place for outings for the people of Qingsong City.

It was the early spring, and the dignitaries of Qingsong City gathered their friends and took chariots to the Silver Moon Lake for boating and fishing.

What is not known is that there is a long corridor connected to the bottom of Silver Moon Lake.

After passing through the long corridor and floating ashore again, there is a huge square with a huge black stone placed in the center.

Under the fluorescent light, the black stone glowed with a deep glow.

I don’t know how long this square has existed, and it reveals a strong sense of vicissitudes of life.

After an unknown amount of time, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake outside the square, and then a figure covered in iron armor emerged from the water holding water beads.

Holding a cloth bag in his hand, he flashed and landed in front of the black boulder in the center of the square.

The next moment, a ripple appeared outside the black boulder, and then a vortex emerged.

The man's eyes showed a decisive look and he stepped straight into it.

When the sight in front of the man returned again, what came into view was a lifeless desert world.

And in this world, there is only one giant beast whose size is almost invisible at a glance.

The giant beast looks like a tiger, its limbs are like four mountains, its hair is silver, and its roots are like sharp spears.

It has nine huge mountain-like chains running through its body, and then it is tightly bound to the ground, making it unable to even stand upright.

It was lying on the ground with its eyes closed, as if it was sleeping.

It is one of the four divine beasts sealed by the Nine Martial Emperors, the White Tiger.

When an uninvited guest came to this world, Bai Hu suddenly opened his eyes, and then looked straight at the man.

"You are here."

Bai Hu's voice echoed in the world, as if he had already seen the man in front of him.

If Su Yu were here, he would recognize at a glance that this man is Yuan Xiao.

Facing Bai Hu's gaze, Yuan Xiao hovered in the air and said slowly in ancient language: "According to the method you provided, I helped you bring the Chixiao Burning Divine Fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Xiao threw the bag in his hand.

While the bag was flying, its mouth suddenly came loose.

The next moment the mouth was loosened, the world seemed to become hotter.

I saw a bird covered in fire, with blood-red feathers flying out of the bag, and then it skyrocketed in mid-air, transforming into a firebird several feet in size.

"Wow~"

When it saw the white tiger in front of it, it couldn't help but let out a cry of fear, and its body began to tremble.

Seeing the firebird, Bai Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said slowly: "It seems as I guessed, in addition to me, they were also plotted by those people."

Hearing Bai Hu's words to himself, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but stare.

He was able to come here because he passed through Qingsong City not long ago, and then heard murmurs in his ears.

At that time, he could not understand the ancient language, so he specially found a Confucian scholar who was proficient in the ancient language. Through a poor retelling of the voice he heard, he roughly understood that someone was transmitting the message to him.

Then he took the Confucian scholars to Qingsong City again, and then came all the way here.

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but ask: "What happened back then?"

"Are they the Qinglong, Suzaku, and Xuanwu you are talking about?"

"Who is plotting against you? Why are they plotting against you? Are there any warriors in this world who can be your opponent?"

At this moment, his heart was filled with doubts.

If the white tiger in front of him is a first-level divine beast, then its strength corresponds to that of a being at the level of Emperor Wu.

However, monster beasts of the same level are stronger than Emperor Wu, so as expected, when Emperor Wu and the divine beast fight, the divine beast can be invincible by virtue of its powerful body.

At this moment, the white tiger is sealed here by nine chains. How terrifying the combat power must be of the person who sealed it back then?

"Huh, they're just a bunch of despicable guys."

Bai Hu's eyes flashed with overwhelming hatred, and Weng Sheng said: "They planned to separate us, and then defeat us one by one, but they couldn't kill us, so they had to seal us."

Hearing Bai Hu's explanation, Yuan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and then he lost his voice: "Is it the legendary Nine Martial Emperors?"

He had only speculated in this regard before.

Because Bai Hu didn't mention this secret happiness to him.

Now seeing the hatred revealed in Bai Hu's words, Yuan Xiao had a rough idea after guessing.

The Nine Martial Emperors back then were probably no match for the four divine beasts, but they used some method to separate them, and then defeated them one by one.

Even so, they still couldn't kill the four divine beasts, they could only seal them one by one.
  So what was the reason that caused the nine great Martial Emperors to become enemies of the four great beasts, and to seal them in such a hidden place at all costs?

Yuan Xiao's eyes flashed with strange light.

Of course he would not be stupid enough to ask it why the Nine Martial Emperors sealed them back then.

After all, he is a human, and the white tiger in front of him is one of the four divine beasts sealed by the nine great Martial Emperors.

The reason why the two parties reached a cooperation was because Bai Hu needed him to detect news from the outside world.

Just as the news of the Chixiao Burning God Fire came back, Baihu handed him a cloth bag. It was with the help of this bag that he brought back the Chixiao Burning God Fire without any effort.

Otherwise, he would not dare to deal with the Chixiao Burning God Fire just by relying on his own strength.

Thinking of the power of this bag, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but feel horrified. This was definitely not the power that the heavenly soldiers could show.

If Bai Hu told him the truth, and he agreed on the surface, but secretly made up his mind never to come here again, wouldn't Bai Hu lose a person who could possibly help him get out of trouble?

"Yes, it's them."

Bai Hu admitted frankly, then looked at Yuan Xiao and sneered: "You know, I have been trapped for so many years, why did I come to you?"

Yuan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Bai Hu chuckled and said, "Because you have the aura of one of the people who sealed me back then."

"Do I have the aura of one of the Nine Great Martial Emperors?"

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but be startled, and then immediately understood what Bai Hu was referring to.

When I was in the Qianlong Realm as Tiangang on a mission, I accidentally obtained this piece of Tiandao Jade with the ability to change shape from a martial artist in the Yulei Realm.

"The aura on your body comes from a Martial Emperor named Jiuli. If I remember correctly, his imperial method can transfer the positions of both parties."

Bai Hu said slowly.

Imperial law? !
  Could this be the unique martial arts of the powerful Emperor Wu, also known as the Imperial Technique?

It has to be said that the power of this returning to nature imperial method may not be as powerful as the martial saint's activation of the holy form, but its power is more terrifying than the heavenly level martial arts.

It can be seen from the piece of Tiandao Jade in his hand that when it is activated, the martial arts under Emperor Wu can hardly hurt him at all.

Yuan Xiao's expression changed slightly, his thoughts changed quickly, and then he said: "Will every warrior understand an imperial method after being promoted to Martial Emperor?"

"good."

Bai Hu said slowly: "When warriors are promoted to the Martial Emperor, they will all gain the ability to understand the Imperial Technique. The functions of the Imperial Technique are different."

"I will be sealed here by the nine of them because their imperial laws are weird and unpredictable."

When Yuan Xiao heard this, he immediately showed a look of understanding.

Isn't this like what the warriors in the Western Zhou Dynasty liked to do the most?
  The warriors formed their own teams and then entered the monster forest to hunt monsters.

It's just that this team of nine Martial Emperors is hunting first-order divine beasts.

Perhaps when caught in a fight, the strength of the first-order divine beast is better than that of the warrior in the Martial Emperor realm.

But after all, Emperor Wu is also the most powerful being in the world. With nine Emperors besieging a divine beast, the outcome is self-evident.

"Humans may not be as good as monsters at the same level in terms of combat power, but when it comes to intrigues, monsters are indeed no match for humans."

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He vaguely had a bold guess. The Nine Martial Emperors deliberately left behind the Tiandao Jade that copied their imperial methods. He probably left it as a back-up, so that after their longevity was cut off, someone would be able to stand up and deal with the four divine beasts.

Otherwise, once the four great beasts break free from the seal, won't they cause a bloody storm?
  As long as there are nine imperial techniques in Tiandao Jade, it is still possible to deal with them.

He said again: "Can you tell me the imperial laws of the other Martial Emperors?"

In the battle outside Tai'an City, the reason why he suffered heavy losses was because he did not expect that the Tiandao Jade in his hand would be restrained by the Tiandao Jade in Song Jingfu's hand. What he knows so far is the imperial law contained in the two pieces of Tiandao jade in Song Jingfu's hand.

There is also the mysterious man who took away a thousand-year-old blood ginseng from Gu Daoyuan. The other person had at least a piece of Tiandao Jade in his hand, otherwise he would have died in Gu Daoyuan's galaxy.

If he could know the abilities of each of the nine Martial Emperors, he could use bad people to investigate these Tiandao jades scattered around the world, and even deal with them in advance.

Baihu heard this and said slowly: "In addition to Jiuli's imperial method, the characteristics of their imperial method back then."

After listening to what Bai Hu said about the imperial laws that the nine great Martial Emperors had comprehended, Yuan Xiao's heart was filled with shock.

Back then, White Tiger faced off against the Nine Martial Emperors alone. He had to face nine imperial methods at the same time. He was unable to be completely killed by the Nine Martial Emperors, so he had to be sealed here. How terrifying must have been the combat power of the four great beasts back then?
  Yuan Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Why were the nine great Martial Emperors enemies of you back then?"

"We came to this world to search for the whereabouts of reincarnators."

Bai Hu's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "And the nine of them got the news about the reincarnator from somewhere."

At this point, Bai Hu seemed to realize that this should not be something Yuan Xiao knew, and did not continue.

We came to this world to look for reincarnation?
  Yuan Xiao's heart was pounding.

Although Bai Hu didn't finish what he said, he still got a lot of useful information from this sentence.

The four great beasts do not come from this world, but come here from another world and are looking for a reincarnation here.

As for who this reincarnation is, it is still unknown.

It is estimated that it was precisely because of this reincarnation that the four great beasts had a violent conflict with the nine great Martial Emperors.

The Nine Martial Emperors probably knew from other channels that the search for reincarnations by the four divine beasts would be detrimental to them, so they tried their best to kill them.

But in the end, he found that he couldn't kill these four rough-skinned guys, so he had to take this step and seal them one by one.

"Reincarnator?"

Yuan Xiao frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Who are the reincarnations you are searching for?"

Bai Hu glanced at him and said lightly: "You asked too many questions."

Yuan Xiao shut his mouth knowingly, but he was already secretly concerned in his heart.

Since the conflict between the two sides broke out because of the reincarnator, it is estimated that this reincarnator is the key to the matter.

The nine great Martial Emperors back then had long since lost their longevity, but the four great divine beasts were still in this world.

In other words, if these four guys get out of trouble in the future, they will definitely continue to search for the whereabouts of the reincarnation until they leave the world with the reincarnation.

Bai Hu glanced at Chixiao Fenshenhuo, who was trembling in front of him, and then said slowly: "Your current strength is still too weak."

"I asked you to bring back the Scarlet Sky Burning Divine Fire because I want to use the Scarlet Sky Burning Divine Fire to help you further your cultivation!"

"Only if you are promoted to Martial Saint can you have the opportunity to break away from these chains for me."

"I will also abide by the agreement, get out of trouble in the future, and help you advance to the realm of Emperor Wu."

Hearing Bai Hu's words, Yuan Xiao's eyes couldn't help but flash.

The reason why he seeks skin from the tiger is because he wants to benefit from the white tiger.

As for Baihu's promise to get out of trouble and help him reach the Martial Emperor realm in the future, he just treated it as a joke.

There is a saying that goes well, when a lame guy's legs recover, the first thing he should do is to throw away the crutches that once accompanied him.
  That's how their relationship is now.

Bai Hu was of use to him, so he wanted to help him improve his cultivation at all costs.

But once he improves his cultivation and frees Bai Hu from his shackles, what awaits him is probably Bai Hu's undoing.

In order to avoid this situation, Yuan Xiao's plan is to get benefits from the other party, and then go back on his promise to keep this guy trapped here.

There is a saying that goes well, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!

Although it is not clear what the purpose of the four great beasts is to find the reincarnation, it is not a good thing for the human race to allow the nine great emperors to seal them at all costs.

Who knows if after helping this guy out of trouble, he will be killed first?
  So to be on the safe side, if you see what this guy looks like, it's best to let it stay like this.

As for when this guy will get out of trouble, it depends on God's will.

In order to avoid going back on his word and causing it to be disadvantageous to him, he also planned to never come here again if he was promoted to Martial Saint in the future...

"If it's not what I expected, Hongying was also plotted by them in that battle that year and was sealed somewhere. She could only send out the fire of her life."

Looking at the Suzaku form formed by the condensed Red Sky Burning God Fire, Bai Hu's eyes couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Who would have thought that for the four of them, it was just a simple mission, but they would be trapped in this world for tens of thousands of years.

"roar~"

The next moment, the white tiger suddenly let out a roar.

The Chixiao Burning God Fire, who was huddled there and shivering, bore the brunt of the attack at this moment. Suzaku's form instantly disintegrated, turning into a pool of scarlet blood that exuded intense heat and floated in the air.

When Yuan Xiao saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.

He was still a little scared when he thought about how terrifying the power of the Red Sky Burning God Fire was.

Just a roar from the white tiger actually wiped out its mind and returned it to its most primitive form.

This really shocked him. Is the power of the first-order divine beast already so terrifying?

At the same time, it also strengthened his inner thoughts.

I absolutely cannot break through the Martial Saint here, otherwise according to the agreement between the two parties, I will have to break free of these nine chains for it.

If he has the cultivation of a martial saint but doesn't take action in the future, then this guy will definitely keep him here...

Bai Hu looked at him and said slowly: "Drink it."

Looking at the pool of blood emitting terrifying heat, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle and his eyes were filled with doubts.

drank it?
  Isn't this looking for death?

Is this thing drinkable? !
  But then I thought, if the white tiger wanted to kill him, the roar just now could easily kill him.

White Tiger seems to have no need to bother.
  Thinking of this, Yuan Xiao no longer hesitated, opened his mouth slightly, and the blood condensed by Chixiao's Burning God Fire merged into his mouth at this moment.

"what!!!"

Chixiao's Burning God Fire entered his abdomen, and Yuan Xiao felt as if he had drank a mouthful of magma, and then began to burn his intestines and organs.

"Meditate and practice your energy, try to refine it!"

At this moment, Bai Hu's voice came to Yuan Xiao's ears.

Yuan Xiao endured the severe pain, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to refine the Chixiao Burning God Fire.

A few days later, Yuan Xiao's gray hair had turned into a coquettish scarlet color.

Suddenly, an aura that was countless times more powerful than the warriors of the Hidden God Realm swept across at this moment.

"Half-Saint!"

Yuan Xiao's eyes suddenly opened, and there was a scarlet flame burning in the depths of his pupils.

"good."

Bai Hu said: "Now that you have been promoted to Semi-Saint, you can help me as long as you take one step further."

There was a look of joy on Yuan Xiao's face, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for your help. I will definitely no longer trust my senior, strive to be promoted to Martial Saint as soon as possible, and then come to rescue my senior from trouble."

"Ah."

Bai Hu responded, and then said: "In that case, you can go back. At the same time, I also want to entrust you with a task, to help me search for the whereabouts of Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu and others."

"Senior, don't worry, I will do my best!"

Yuan Xiao's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he left this world through the teleportation vortex again.

"Sir, there is news from Danyang Prefecture that a few days ago, two soul palace realm warriors had a conflict over a thousand-year-old medicinal herb."

When Yuan Xiao came back, a bad guy said respectfully.

"Ten thousand years of medicinal materials?"

Yuan Xiao's eyes lit up and he murmured in his heart: "God is really helping me. With this thousand-year-old medicinal material, maybe I will have the opportunity to step into the Martial Saint Realm!"

He asked slowly: "Where in Danyang Prefecture?"

"Perilla City." (End of Chapter)
