Chapter 31: Preparations for the Truth
After listening to Xiao's helpless words, Jiang Tianyue and Ming looked at each other and smiled. "Hehe, since you are so polite, then we won't pretend to be polite" Jiang Tian rubbed his hands excitedly at the thought of being able to take out the treasure from the owl.
"Hmph, you little bastard, you talk as if you have been polite to the old man at some point!" The owl glared at Jiang Tian viciously and then said, "Don't think too beautiful, everyone can only take one piece from the old man! Also, there is no need for you to talk about things like exercises, Yueming girl, you have the secret method of racial inheritance, and there is no other exercise more suitable for your cultivation." And you little bastard! Your Holy Hell Condensing Sword is a god-level cultivation technique! As long as you can master it, you will definitely be extraordinary in the future! You must know that your master has become the first ordinary mortal in history to seize the god position with this set of exercises!"
If you don't open your mouth, you will be shocked! Not to mention what a god-level exercise is, just because Ji Xiaoyao can kill a god with this set of exercises, then it can prove how strong this exercise is! You must know that the number of gods is fixed! Each god corresponds to a different godhead attribute characteristics, and if you want to become a god after creating a god, you must kill the gods to succeed! This also fully shows the strength of this set of Holy Hell Condensing Sword!
"I said, old man, what does this god-level exercise mean? Why have you never heard of it? Also, you said that my master successfully killed the gods with this set of exercises, but I didn't have any other cultivation methods except for comprehending the sword heart!" Jiang Tian still knew that the exercises were divided into levels, but he had never heard of the god-level exercises! Now the exercises are nothing more than the four major levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, among which the heaven-level exercises are the highest and the yellow-level exercises are the lowest. For example, their Jiang family's Red Lotus Recipe is the practice of the middle stage of the Yellow Order.
"You stupid, as the name suggests, this god-level exercise refers to the exercises created and practiced by the gods!"
"Well, that's right. As for why you don't have any other cultivation methods except for Sword Heart, you can only say that your current realm is too low, and the follow-up exercises have not yet appeared. It is precisely because both of you are at the top of the class that I said that you don't need to ask the old man for exercises and the like, there is only one chance, choose what you need most now. "For Yueming's explanation, although it is a bit general, but if you really want to put it bluntly, it is the same meaning, so Xiao didn't correct it too much. "What do you need most at the moment?" Originally, Jiang Tian and Yueming thought about a lot of things they wanted in their minds, but if they really had to choose one of these at this time, it would be difficult to choose for a while.
"You'd better hurry, if that little bat comes back, you're going to get nothing!" reminded the two of them as they looked at each other. "Shhhh If there is only one choice, then I want a sword! When the long sword I bought earlier really encounters a strong person, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop someone from slashing it with a sword!" Jiang Tian said as he cautiously observed the change in the owl's demeanor.
"Well, indeed, you really should find the right guy, otherwise when you go out to wander around the continent in a while, you won't be able to use the weapon in your hand. Yueming also agreed with Jiang Tian's decision. Although it is said that strength cannot always rely on external objects, however, when the strength of the two sides is almost the same, if there is a weapon of good grade, the combat power will increase exponentially! It can be seen from this that having a satisfactory weapon in hand is a very important thing!
"Hey, the sword, the old man did collect a lot of magic weapons when he wasn't broken, but it's a pity, there is not a single attacking sword on this fragment, it stands to reason that your request is reasonable, it's a pity, it's a pity... It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. He pinched his chin and frowned. "Hehe, it's okay, as long as the magic weapon is sharp, it doesn't have to be very aggressive." In Xiao's words, Jiang Tian keenly captured a hint of routine.
"Tsk, boring. Originally, the old man wanted to tease you, but I didn't expect to be seen through by you. Seeing that his little abacus was seen through by Jiang Tian, Xiao suddenly lost his nature. "Old man, there is a decent weapon here, the name is Drunken Hongchen, boy, do you want to take a look?"
"Naturally, I want to see it!" Looking at Jiang Tian's firm eyes, Xiao Xiao didn't sell much, but just grabbed a handful of them in the void. A rusty sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"It's... This is what you call a weapon of decent grade??" Jiang Tian looked at the rusty long sword, his face full of astonishment and doubt!" "That's right, and it is also a legendary quality weapon, only because of too much time will make this surface full of rust, and good weapons will choose their own masters, not only you choose it, well, let's go!" The rest is up to you, if you are recognized by it, then congratulations you will get a legendary weapon, if you are not chosen, then sorry, all you get is a piece of scrap metal. Okay, your kid's request has been met, and then it's your turn, right?" Xiao threw the long sword at the stunned Jiang Tian, and then his eyes fell on Yueming's body
"Old man, in fact, I don't know what I need the most at the moment, you know, our Phoenix clan itself is the strongest divine weapon, not to mention the exercises, and the elixir to improve cultivation doesn't seem to be very needed, as long as we will perform the first Nirvana when we become adults, and after the Nirvana is successful, our strength will generally reach above the eighth order! Why don't you let him pick one?" Yueming tentatively suggested.
"No, the old man is very fair. If you really don't want anything, then the old man will give up this opportunity yourself. "Xiao is very serious. "Well, if I have to say it, my biggest problem now is that there is a little discrepancy between the time I grew up and the current Night Wind Continent, you must know that I have been in that origin world for three thousand years, it stands to reason that I have already become an adult, but, you can see for yourself, I don't look like an adult phoenix in terms of size, strength, or appearance!" At the beginning, Yue Ming had always thought that this situation would change over time, but it had been so long since she came out of the Origin World, and there was still no change in the slightest!
"This is a bit difficult to do, when you entered the origin world, you were just born, and the speed of time in the origin world is different from that of the outside world, although you yourself feel that three thousand years have passed in it, but in this outside world, it has only been more than 1,800 years, you phoenix adulthood, I remember that it should be 2,000 years before you become an adult, so you still need to spend two hundred years in the outside world before you can become an adult, as for your cultivation, what are you doing in the origin world? How can you cultivate well? Otherwise, even if you don't have adult strength, how can you only be at the peak of the third order? After hearing this, Yueming only felt a hot face, because she had indeed not seriously cultivated in the more than three thousand years in the Origin World!
At this time, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute, when we first met before, didn't you tell me that you are fourteen years old based on our human age? Also, if you say so, then Yueming should have entered the origin world three thousand years ago, but didn't the ancient books record that the Divine Beast clan had disappeared from this world tens of thousands of years ago......? That doesn't make sense. β
"Oh, you pig brain, the lifespan of the Phoenix clan is almost infinite, why do you care about these details? Wouldn't it be nice if you just thought she was the same age as you? As for the ancient book records you said, there are many possibilities!" Xiao also understood the meaning of Jiang Tian's words, and said with relief at the moment
Jiang Tian listened to it bluntly, and a conclusion could be drawn from this statement. Yueming's actual age is much younger than the known age now!However, what Xiao said is right, why should he care about these details? "You're right, but I'm too worried, but there are many so-called possibilities, such as what are they?"
"Like the credibility of your book. β
"You know, this little girl's real body is an ice phoenix, as far as the old man knows, there is only such an ice phoenix in the whole world! Do you think such a unique existence will really be abandoned in the wild?" Don't be careful, these prohibitions are all used by her parents to protect Yueming. Of course, this is actually my speculation, and as for what it really looks like, you have to find out for yourself. But one thing is for sure, Yueming, your parents and they really love you, although they didn't grow up with you, but there is no doubt about that!"
When she heard this, Yueming's tears began to drip unconsciously. "Am I really not an outcast?". "Absolutely not, I swear in the name of the origin of the world!" said the owl solemnly. "Woo, I've always thought that it was because my clan was a fire phoenix and I was an ice phoenix that my parents abandoned me before I hatched... I always thought they hated me...... to abandon me...... I always thought that ......." Yueming's words that he couldn't continue to speak turned into bursts of sad sobs.
"Then who is in the memory you gave me before, who has been watching, giving birth to your phoenix egg?" Jiang Tian silently came to Yueming's side and gently hugged the lovely man into his arms.
"Woo..." After hearing Jiang Tian say, Yueming couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, memories are passed down only after you have experienced them yourself. Who had been watching him in his previous memory? Yueming, who gradually figured it out, cried even louder. "Well, don't cry, don't cry, this is a good thing, it shows that your father and mother have not abandoned you, they love you, but there must have been a lot of reasons that led to the current situation. Jiang Tian gently patted Yueming's back and comforted softly.
"But I've been hating them!!......! I have never forgotten it......! Isn't it excessive! Am I not right...... Father! Mother ......! "Thinking back to her original self, Yueming's heart became even more sad. Guilt filled her heart at this moment.
"It's okay, it's okay..."Yueming's feelings at this moment were also truthfully reflected in Jiang Tian's heart, the kind of guilt and distress were constantly entangled, and suddenly this emotion turned into two hot currents that slipped from Jiang Tian's eyes.
"Hey, Yueming girl, there are still a lot of mysteries about what happened back then, just like Jiang Tian's bastard boy said, it is clear that the ancient books record that the divine beast line has perished tens of thousands of years ago, so why are you only so old now? You must know that there is a difference of tens of thousands of years before and after! Have you ever thought about this?" Xiao couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbid air when he said this. Seeing that Yueming, the originally lively and cheerful little girl, was so uncomfortable at the moment, his heart was also very uncomfortable. After all, in the Three Thousand Worlds, he also watched the little girl grow up.
"Elder Xiao, the time between this is too long, and the difference between the front and back is too big, right? Yueming is only three thousand years old this year, but the catastrophe that caused the fall of the gods happened in an earlier mythological period, and the time when Yueming hatched in the egg was..."
"Huh?," Jiang Tian and Xiao lit up at the same time. "Look, is there such a possibility, when Yueming's parents learned that there was about to be a big war, they didn't want their newborn child to be in danger, so they used some secret method to send the eggs that were pregnant with Yueming to the world tens of thousands of years later, or to seal it somewhere. The purpose is to protect the newborn Yueming!" Jiang Tian recounted the situation that he suddenly thought of. "Very likely! In that case, the prohibition found on the moonlight girl at the beginning can make sense. Xiao nodded in agreement.
"Well, the discrepancies before and after the time can also be explained, but these are just our speculations now, how can we verify him?" Jiang Tian looked at Xiao and said, he knew that if he really wanted to explore the truth of this matter, he could only rely on the old man in front of him!
"Old man, you have a way, right? I don't want any treasures, I don't want anything, I just want to know, I just want to know what happened back then! I need the truth...... Please, ......!" Yue Ming also turned her face buried in Jiang Tian's chest at this time, her eyes were already crying very red and swollen at this moment, and Jiang Tian's chest was also soaked with Yue Ming's sad tears.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you figure it out. Good girl, don't cry, little girl. I still gave you your name, and I also grew up watching you, so how can I bear not to help you? Trust me, I'll definitely come up with a good idea. Looking at Yueming's appearance, Xiao touched Yueming's little head distressedly.
"Old man, I believe in you. Yueming nodded heavily. "Well, don't cry, since the old man has promised to help us, then let's wait for him to come up with a good solution. Jiang Tian stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears in Yueming's eyes.
"Well, Jiang Tian, are you willing to ......" Yueming wanted to say something, but her trembling lips were gently pressed against Jiang Tian's outstretched fingers.
"Fool, isn't your business my business? Jiang Tian stared at the person in front of him dotingly, and said emotionally word by word.
"Okay, okay, you two are almost fine! Yueming, you have these things. Just as the two of them were snuggling up to each other, the owl on the side kept grabbing some messy things from the void.
"Dig a groove!!Old man!You.... You..."Jiang Tian just looked at it casually, and in just a moment, six or seven objects had already been placed on the table. "I just thought about it, if you want to find out the truth, you must first arm yourself! Only protecting yourself is the most important thing! Come, you two come here, these things are all owned by the old man, you can take them casually!"
"Old man, you can't get enough rhythm..."Jiang Tian teased.
"Owl.. How embarrassing are the two of us. Yueming originally wanted to call the old man like Jiang Tian, but after thinking about it, she had been really good to herself over the years, so she had to change her name to call the old man.
"Don't!!Don't!Just call him an old man!!" Jiang Tian didn't wait for the owl to answer, and shook his head desperately at Yueming.
"Uh, moonlight girl. I'm glad you call me that, but... But... You've been calling me old man all these years... I'm really a little unaccustomed to your cold change of words!You still call me old man the same as before, I listen to it kindly!" Xiao said embarrassedly, and the expression on his face was also very unnatural.
"Hey, our old man is actually shy? Jiang Tian quipped. "!" For Jiang Tian, Xiao was very polite. Yue Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the two of them like this. "Na, na, the moonlight girl smiled. The owl danced happily.
"I saw it, I saw it! You don't need to remind me, it's my fiancΓ©e! That's my daughter-in-law! Laugh at me! Hmph!" Jiang Tian shouted angrily. "What are you talking about? I grew up watching this little girl!" said the owl, not to be outdone. "Hmph! What about growing up! It's not like I've got it now!
"I said, can you not laugh so evilly, I heard it from far away!" Glass's voice came from outside the house.
"Gah!!"
"Gah!!"
"Gah!!"
The moment he pushed the door in, Xiao, Glass, and Jiang Tian were all stunned at the same time. "Damn, how could these two come back at this time!" "It's over, it's over, the old man's reputation is all ruined!" "I'm a Qin brew!!!," Ahem, this is Glass.
"Glass, why did you come back so soon, didn't you say to go out and wave?" or Yueming reacted quickly, and hurriedly asked, wanting to divert Glass's attention. "Why don't you go and put away the things on the table?" Yueming's words sounded in Jiang Tian's heart. Jiang Tian came to his senses at this time: "Yes, yes, Yueming, you hold these two goods first." β
"Waves... Oh yes... I'm going to wave... Why are there so many treasures!!" Glass's eyes stared at the dazzling array of treasures on the table without blinking, as if he had seen a peerless beauty with a full body! "Hey! Just look at it, can you wipe your harass!" Jiang Tian said with disgust while packing up his things.
"Ahh "I said you kid, this is a bit uninteresting! There are so many good things! I didn't take them out soon!" Glass said with envy.
"Stop, stop, if I had taken it out earlier, I would have killed people and oversold your goods, would I still be alive until now?" Jiang Tian quipped, he could see from Glass's eyes that this guy was really just envious, and he didn't have the idea of dominating.
"Hey, hey, hey, I don't think I'm that kind of demon!" Glass quit, he didn't think that way at all.
"Actually, if you really want it, you can pick one of them you like and take it. After carefully looking at this Glass, Glass suddenly had an extra thought in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm.
"Huh?" Glass, Jiang Tian, and Yueming all couldn't believe their ears. "What's going on today! Is this really not going to go over?" Jiang Tian was very puzzled by Xiao's sudden decision!
"You... You're β" Glass looked for a voice. "The old man's name is Xiao, I didn't joke with you just now, if you like it, you can pick one of them. Owl repeated again.
"Little bastard, put things on the table and let him pick and choose. Xiao Chong Jiang Tian gave a look. "Okay.." Jiang Tian was extremely reluctant to put the treasure things that he had just put away on the table again.
"This... Is this appropriate?..." Glass's mouth said embarrassed, but his mother's hand really didn't show any embarrassment! Finally, his eyes fell on a double-dagger with a scarlet glow.
"That's it. As he spoke, Glass wanted to reach for it. "Wait a minute!" suddenly shouted. "Uh... "Glas said in his heart, "It's really not such a cheap thing." β
"You know what's in your hand, you know?" said Owl as he came to Glass. "No... I don't know. Glass has an instinctive fear of the owl, and he is serious when talking to the owl, and he doesn't even use his usual mantra once. He didn't know why he felt that way!
"The dagger in your hand is called Scarlet Eyes, which is refined from the eyes of a bloodthirsty demon python, and has the ability to extract enemy blood while possessing extremely destructive power, and has also been carved a forbidden spell-level magic by Master Ming! But if you want to really get your hands on it, you still need to promise the old man a condition. β
"The predecessors bluntly said that as long as it is this... Oh no... As long as it is something that the kid can do, the kid must do his best!" Glass was deeply attracted by this dagger when he saw the scarlet eyes of the reverse blade, and only after the introduction of the owl was he was even more eager to get this hard-won dagger at this moment.
"I forgot to tell you, this Crimson Eye is an epic piece of equipment!" said Owl with an understatement. "What??" Glass couldn't believe his ears. "You heard it right, now this dagger is still sealed, and you will naturally know it after you unseal it, and now it's time to talk about the old man's conditions. When he spoke, he only felt a chill coming from his body for no reason! When he looked back, he saw Jiang Tian staring at him viciously, muttering something in his mouth. It seems to say, "Wow, you're so generous to everyone, you're so kind to me! I'll throw you into the pit in a moment."
After glancing at Jiang Tian, he stopped paying attention to him, turned around and continued, "This matter is not difficult, you can follow these two little guys in the future and help me take care of them." β
"That's it?" asked Glass, uncertain
"Well, that's it. β
"Don't hide it from my seniors, I have promised Jiang Tian that kid that kid will go out with him to practice, this..."
"It's okay, it's before, it's now, and the plan of this trip has changed, and the danger has increased, so it's better to have a guy who rubs his hands. That way, you'll be able to take better care of the two of them. Xiao continued. "It's just that since you have taken this thing, you have to seriously help me do what I asked you to do, you know?"
"Please rest assured, Glass swears in the name of the Demon God again! Glass will do his best on this trip," Glass said very seriously. "Okay, I trust you, you go to the side and play first!" Owl waved at Glass
"The kid retired first. Glass understood, said hello to everyone, and then slipped away. "Okay, I can see it too, you little bastard even if I give you the artifact, you won't be satisfied, I'll hand over the custody of this thing to you, you can do it yourself if you want, but some treasures have seals on them, and they can't be unsealed if they don't have enough strength. As for the drunken red dust that I gave you earlier, I can only tell you that even the artifact can't compare with it! Whether or not you can get its recognition is up to you. As for the moonlight girl, I believe you won't lose her. You two can do it yourself, the old man will go back first, and I have to find a way for you to go!" After speaking, Xiao turned into a wisp of smoke again and drilled back into the three thousand worlds.
"Hey, where can I put so many things!" Jiang Tian shouted.
"You stupid fool, haven't you already been recognized by me? Won't you put these things into the Three Thousand Worlds? I'm really blind, how could I choose you in the first place!" scolded angrily.
"Oooh... There is still this usage... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."Jiang Tian scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Hehe, so many treasures, do I still pick?" Jiang Tian smiled happily when he looked at the full amount of treasures. "You don't pick, I see, you're planning to do it all, right?" Yueming said with a smile. "Hehe, those who know me, the moon is also bright~"
