"Uncle Heng, please help..." Little Shi Hao couldn't help it and wanted Shi Heng to extend the old man's life.
"My dear grandson, it was grandpa who rejected the high priest's kindness. This was grandpa's own choice." The old man interrupted Xiao Shi Hao and emphasized again.
"Grandpa..." Xiao Shihao and Xiao Qingfeng cried together.
One old man and two children, the three of them were no longer silent, and the three hands were holding each other.
After a long time, the old man finally gathered enough strength and said to his two grandchildren: "I have no regrets. Grandpa is tired of looking at this world. Now I want to reunite with my old brothers. From now on, you should help each other and support each other..."
The old man's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, it was already unclear, and the vitality had dissipated like the last wisp of green smoke from a candle, along with the only remaining warmth in the palm of a dead tree.
The two children, who had suffered a difficult fate, burst into tears. Seeing their loved one pass away was the most devastating thing for them at the age of eight.
Shi Heng's eyes also felt a little sore. For countless nights, he missed his family, but there was no trace of their way home. How could he not be sad?
"Bang!"
Not long after, King Wu and a group of clan elders outside pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing that the clan elder had passed away, King Wu no longer tried to conceal his intentions. Murderous intent emerged and enveloped Shi Heng and Xiao Shi Hao. Judging from his posture, he was probably worried that Shi Heng and Xiao Shi Hao would escape.
"I'll give you three seconds to get out. Otherwise, you and this ancestral land will have no need to exist." Shi Heng said, suppressing his anger.
It was understandable that King Wu was heartless and disloyal, but he could not wait to enter the house and monitor the two of them, ignoring the old man who had passed away, which made him extremely angry.
Shi Heng's murderous intent, which was almost tangible, emanated from his body and enveloped King Wu and the clan elder who stepped through the door and entered the house.
"How dare you treat King Wu like this...ah!" An ignorant servant heard Shi Heng's words and wanted to step in from outside. Before he could finish his words, a wisp of black flame rose up and his figure instantly turned into flying ash.
"Swoosh!" King Wu passed by the elders of the King Wu's Mansion and moved directly out of the door. Without looking back, he fled out of the manor.
The elders of the Wuwang Mansion, the smart ones had already followed Wuwang and fled outside the manor. The stupid ones, or those who expected Wuwang to show off his power, were burned to ashes by the nameless black flames three seconds later.
Three days later, two figures, one large and two small, stood on a hillside not far from the manor, with a brand new tomb in front of them. Gusts of mountain wind blew, and countless white silks fluttered, witnessing the death of a kind old man.
The three of them stood in silence for a long time.
"Let's go. Come visit the old man again when you have time." Xiao Shihao said to Xiao Qingfeng.
Although he was in a low mood, he also knew that dwelling in negative emotions would not help. Only by living a wonderful life could he live up to the old man's expectations.
"Yeah." Xiao Qingfeng nodded vigorously, but still couldn't help some tears flowing down his young face.
"gone."
A flash of white light appeared, and the three people disappeared from in front of the grave. Only the mountain breeze and the new grave were left.
……
Ten miles away.
"Your Majesty, is that person... really extremely terrifying?" an elder of the tribe couldn't help but ask.
"boom!"
In the desperate eyes of several elders, a ray of magic light flashed, and several people were all turned into ashes.
"Inscription Realm... Venerable Realm... Hehe. Stone Emperor, I lose again. I admit defeat sincerely."
Chapter 98
Shi Heng didn't care about King Wu's whereabouts.
Just like countless other venerables, he could simply look down upon the Formation Realm.
The three of them passed through the teleportation array and returned to Shi Village.
It was Xiao Qingfeng’s first time to Shi Village and he was full of curiosity and imagination about everything.
Under the influence of Shi Heng, he came to Shi Village a year and a half later than the original novel.
There are many ways to help children get rid of sadness, and diverting their attention is an excellent one.
"Qingfeng? It's little Qingfeng who has come to the village. Look everyone." The snotty kid was standing next to the willow tree. When he saw the light of the teleportation array, he said to his friends beside him in surprise.
Now that these young men have obtained the Black Cauldron's good fortune, their aptitude and comprehension have been further improved, and they can already vaguely figure out a trace of the Dao traces on the axe marks. After getting the permission of the Willow God, they all gathered beside the willow tree to meditate and observe.
This kind of opportunity to observe the axe marks only comes once in history. Once you can comprehend a little bit of the ultimate power and integrate it into your own killing skills, you will have the basic qualifications to become a supreme strong man.
Therefore, the blessing of the young man in Shicun is really deep. A man and a tree had a fight because of their feelings, and as a result, they got the supreme fortune.
The young men from Shi Village greeted Xiao Qingfeng under the willow tree one after another, but none of them came to greet him, instead they continued to observe the axe marks.
"Snotty kid! Brother Dazhuang! Brother Hou! Brother Ermeng!" Xiao Qingfeng's eyes turned red and he held back his tears.
In the past two years, he often met with his friends from Shicun in the space, and they were quite familiar with each other. After suddenly losing his loved ones, he began to feel anxious when he saw his good friends.
"Xiao Qingfeng, welcome to Shi Village. This will be your hometown in the future, and we will all be your relatives." Shi Heng patted Xiao Qingfeng on the shoulder and said, then instructed Xiao Shihao to take Xiao Qingfeng to meet the villagers.
"Let's go and see the clan leader first. He has been talking about you recently. If he knew you were coming, he would definitely be very happy." Xiao Shihao talked as he took Xiao Qingfeng and walked towards the village from the stone platform of the teleportation array.
"This is the Willow God we told you about. She is the patron saint of our Shi Village. The high priest is Uncle Heng. If there are important matters in the village that require the decision of the Willow God, Uncle Heng will communicate with the Willow God." Xiao Shihao had already pulled Xiao Qingfeng to the willow tree and introduced her to Xiao Qingfeng.
"Well, Brother Hao, why is there an axe mark on the Willow God Tree? Could it be that some terrifying opponent has come to our Shi Village recently? And why are Snotty Kid and Brother Dazhuang and the others sitting cross-legged here staring at the axe mark?" Xiao Qingfeng felt very confused, as this was inconsistent with what his friend had said before.
Moreover, when Snotty Kid and the others saw him coming, they did not run over to reminisce about the past. Instead, they continued to sit cross-legged under the tree, staring at the axe marks in fascination.
"Um, Liu Shen didn't say the origin of the ax mark. Liu Shen is very powerful, and it will definitely not be caused by any opponent. You will know later when you come over and stare at the ax mark. Let's go, the patriarch should be in the elixir now Yuan, let’s give the clan leader a surprise.” Xiao Shihao urged.
Although he couldn't tell others about the origin of the axe marks, he could guess a little and felt that it must be related to Uncle Heng. When Uncle Heng woke up on the third day and looked for him, he was not surprised at all by the axe marks on Willow God's body.
In the following days, he saw several bruises on Uncle Heng's body, including palm prints and fingerprints. It was not difficult to guess that Uncle Heng had a fight with Liu Shen, and it was very intense.
The only thing that puzzled him was why after the fight, Uncle Heng's attitude towards Willow God became even better than before, with his eyes full of emotion. According to his observations in the Blue Star Sect, that emotion should be affection.
Are Uncle Heng and God Liu becoming more passionate as they fight?
This once again deeply shocked his little heart.
"Squeak!" Maoqiu pointed at the axe mark to Xiao Shihao impatiently, meaning that he wanted to go and observe.
After a few days of patience, it saw that it had returned to Shi Village and couldn't wait to see the axe marks.
Not only it, but also the three purple cloud eagles and the green scaled eagle, Ashuai and Aguai, Dabai and Xiaobai, these strange beasts were all on the altar observing the axe marks.
"Go. Uncle Heng said that in three days, the Willow God will start to restore the willow trees, and the axe marks will disappear. Wait until I take Xiao Qingfeng to see the clan leader, and I will go to watch." Xiao Shihao said to the ball of hair that came out of his chest.
"Squeak!" The ball of fur flew and jumped from Xiao Shihao to the head of the snotty kid, causing the snotty kid to clap his hands wildly.
At this time, Shi Heng appeared on the Blue Star Teleportation Formation in the tenth cave. His face was still pale.Not only Liu Shen, he also paid the price for the battle between the two.No one is less injured than the other.
What he needed to do now was to nourish the Five Elements Cave Heaven with spiritual objects again. Although the Five Elements Cave Heaven was mutually beneficial and could nourish itself, it would take a year.
A white light flashed, and an ordinary-looking female figure appeared on the teleportation array.
Shi Heng walked closer to the female cultivator, with a pale face, observing the situation of the figure in front of him. He saw that the female cultivator had an ordinary appearance and her face was as pale as his.
Shi Heng showed his big white teeth, smiled, and then said: "Friend Liu, I haven't seen you for a year. I hope you are well. I see that you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you tell me? I have a lot of spiritual objects here, which may be of help to you."
"Friend Shi, your internal organs are all damaged. You'd better take care of yourself first." The female cultivator had an ordinary appearance, a frosty face, and a small chest, which was still rising and falling as if she was suppressing her anger.
The female cultivator was wearing a grey robe at the moment, which was similar in style to Shi Heng's. The two had been together for several years, and their aesthetic tastes had gradually become similar due to subtle influence.
"Okay, I'm just concerned about you, so don't be angry anymore." Shi Heng, who went by the anonymous name Shi Daoyou, coaxed the plain-looking female cultivator.
After hearing this, the female cultivator wanted to leave directly from the teleportation array, but was quickly stopped by Shi Heng, who said, "Okay, okay, I won't waste any more words, and don't leave."
When the female cultivator heard Shi Heng's words, her chest stopped rising and falling. She looked at Shi Heng calmly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's like this. I have a batch of storage... objects that are restricted here." Shi Heng said half of his words, then glanced at the female cultivator, who just glared at him.
He breathed a sigh of relief and seeing that the female cultivator did not overreact, he continued, "I want you to help me. Let's work together to open these restrictions and take out the unknown treasures, so as to find spiritual objects to heal me." After Shi Heng finished speaking, he felt the air was a little cold.
So he followed up and said, "Of course... now I have to add you in, because you also need treatment."
"That's good to know." The ordinary-looking female cultivator said in a calm tone.
Shi Heng suddenly felt that the air was no longer cold. He was immediately upset and complained in his heart that this woman was wearing a vest and speaking directly.
The ordinary-looking female cultivator is the alias of Willow God - Willow Leaf.
Since Shi Heng added her as a key friend, they kept in touch. Liu Shen was a little reluctant at first, but later, she discovered the benefits of using a vest. Without exposing each other, communication was extremely convenient.
Chatting with each other under pseudonyms is an important factor in the rapid development of their relationship.
Today was the first time that Shi Heng broke the convention. He used the alias of Fellow Daoist Shi to invite Fellow Daoist Liu.
The two of them were meeting in person under pseudonyms.
"follow me."
Shi Heng took out a flying treasure, which was a strange stone. The stone was grayish white, with countless shining runes engraved on it. It was a rare treasure.
When zoomed in, there are two large stone seats on the top of the strange stone. One seat is engraved with numerous mountain peaks and boulders; the other seat is engraved with flowers, plants and trees. The shape is quite spiritual, and its owner must have put a lot of effort into it.
The seat was covered with two pieces of unknown fur, one purple and one white. The fur had a spiritual charm, and its owner had the cultivation of a celestial god. In between the two seats, there was a half-meter groove, which was filled with various spiritual fruits.
Shi Heng stepped onto the boulder first and stood in front of the two seats. He pointed his hand at the seats carved with flowers, plants and trees, turned his head and looked at the female cultivator, "Fellow Daoist Liu, please take a seat."
"Did you make this yourself? Your skill is too poor." Liu Ye flew onto the treasure, with some disgust on her face, but she sat down on the seat without hesitation. She even moved her body and leaned against the backrest.
The seat was not very deep, and the backrest was different from the antique chairs. Shi Heng used a high backrest, which was covered with half animal skin. She probably understood the meaning, so she tried it without hesitation.
"I spent a year refining it step by step from scratch. Please don't discourage me like this." Shi Heng also sat down, somewhat dissatisfied with the reaction of his seatmate.
"Bad means bad. He has a dull aptitude and can't be taught no matter how hard you try." Liu Ye made a direct metaphor without caring about Shi Heng's feelings.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is absolutely right. After you use it up this time, you can take it away and help me refine it again. Okay?" Shi Heng was not annoyed, as he knew the meaning of her words.
The bruises on his body needed the Willow Divine Technique to be fully developed before they could disappear. Otherwise, they would have to wait for a month for them to disappear on their own. When he sat down just now, she must have seen the bruises on his arms, so she mocked him.
"Let's go." Liu Ye did not answer, but urged Shi Heng.
"Yes." Shi Heng activated the Divine Light, and the strange stone flew out of the city at a high speed amid the shock of the geniuses.
On the way to the natural resources area.
"There are spiritual fruits here. You can try them. I've tried them and they are very sweet." Shi Heng took out a small spiritual fruit that was emitting a bright light and put it in front of Liu Ye's mouth.
"Fellow Daoist Shi..., do you think we are very familiar with each other? Can we do whatever we want?" Liu Ye ignored the spiritual fruit that was brought to her mouth and just spoke very calmly.
"Yes... This is the second time we meet, Fellow Daoist Liu, I am sorry for being rude. But they are really delicious. These are the fruits I spent a long time picking. You should try them." After Shi Heng finished speaking, he took the fruits a little further away and shook the small spiritual fruits he had carefully selected in front of Liu Ye's eyes.
Liu Ye didn't reply and acted as if she didn't hear anything.
After a while, just when Shi Heng felt embarrassed and wanted to retract his hand, a bare hand took the fruit from his finger like lightning, and then the fruit disappeared into her mouth.
