Chapter 12: Planting the Root Cause
After a thirteen-day trip, Wen Haotian and Qin Lan finally arrived at the bottom of the sea, under the fertile rocks in the southwest, under the jurisdiction of King Ping, Abi Hell.
"Wen Haotian, hurry up, you can already see the ghost town in front of you, I haven't been tired of a girl..."
"Whew... Call... Grandma, don't shake it anymore, you definitely don't feel tired on my shoulders... Oops, no, come down, I'm tired..."
"Hey... Ay... Hey..."
Throwing Qin Lan to the ground, Wen Haotian instantly lay down, panting heavily. In the past thirteen days, Qin Lan has been on Wen Haotian's shoulders for seven days, as long as she is let go and she hasn't gone for an hour or two, Qin Lan has all kinds of threats, coquettishness, and cuteness to let Wen Haotian carry her away, and finally arrived at the ghost city of Abi, Wen Haotian is finally tired.
"Wooh... Hiss... Hahahaha..."
"Wen Haotian, Wen Haotian, hurry up, did you hear the roar of the python... Looks like someone else is laughing..."
"Living Ancestor, let me go, where did the python come from..."
Before Wen Haotian finished speaking, he himself heard the terrible roar of the python, which came from the direction of the ghost city of Abi. Wen Haotian and Qin Lan glanced at each other, stood up, protected Qin Lan behind them, and the two slowly approached in the direction of the ghost city.
The more you move in the direction of the ghost town, the clearer the miserable roar becomes, mixed with the crazy laughter of a young man. After walking out of Shizhang, a young man in yellow appeared in the sight of Wen Haotian and Qin Lan, and two guards stood behind the young man. At this time, the young man was performing the technique of controlling the water, impacting the python trapped in the air by the current, the python couldn't help the water jet, let out a terrible roar, and turned into a python for a while, and a thin young man in white for a while.
The young man in yellow was gorgeously dressed, with a purple and gold crown on his head, and the two guards behind him were even more yin, and his cultivation should be at the forging level.
"Hahahaha... Aren't you an earth dragon?
"Three... Yes... The Three Princes... You... You let me go... I'm here to join the Equal King... The king of equality cherishes his life... If he finds out, he will blame you... Ahh
"Less nonsense, King Equality is my father..."
Without waiting for the young man in yellow to finish speaking, a black fire dragon with the thickness of a bowl mouth rushed towards the young man's chest, the fire dragon was not fierce, but it also made the young man in yellow dare not be careless, put away the water control technique in his hand, threw the young man in white to the ground, and diverted the water to turn the dragon into a dragon, and dissolved the fire dragon that pounced on him.
"Who dares to sneak attack this prince!"
As the young man in yellow exploded, the two guards behind him also enveloped his whole body with yin qi, ready to protect the three princes in front of him at any time. Qin Lan's eyes flashed a dark blue streamer, and he smiled mockingly, and teased the third prince,
"What kind of bullshit three princes, bullying people before refining their souls..."
"You... Where is the stinky girl, come here, give it to me..."
Hearing this, the two guards rushed towards Qin Lan, Qin Lan did not show weakness, and greeted the two guards, Wen Haotian clasped dozens of snake darts in his palm, vigilant against the young man in yellow and the two guards, once Qin Lan was in danger, he would immediately take action. Qin Lan fought with the two guards for dozens of rounds, and gradually fell into the disadvantage with one enemy and two, and shouted towards Wen Haotian angrily,
"Wen Haotian, big bastard, you still hold a grudge, don't you, don't you help this girl clean up these two mad dogs..."
"Auntie, you provoke others first, and you rely on me..."
Wen Haotian said this, but the serpentine dart in his hand had already hit the two guards, and the guards saw a black light shooting towards him, and retreated a few steps to dodge, which also gave Qin Lan a chance to retreat, walked up to Wen Haotian, jumped up and hit Wen Haotian on the forehead.
"Okay, you Wen Haotian bastard, this girl is kind enough to come out for you, but you sold this girl..."
"Grandma, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore..."
The thin young man in white who was thrown on the ground, seeing that the attention of the third prince and the two guards was all on Wen Haotian, one dodged, turned into a cloud of yin qi, and hid behind Wen Haotian, Qin Lan also ignored Wen Haotian anymore, and ran over to help the young man in white check his injuries.
"Boy, you're crazy, let's go together..."
The young man in yellow gave an order, and with two guards, he came towards Wen Haotian's side. Wen Haotian urged the third "quick birth" of the Hades Jue, and an inky water lily slowly grew under his feet, dragging Wen Haotian into the air, and waved his hands towards the two guards at the same time, and the two guards were trapped in dozens of magic blades, not daring to take another step.
Seeing his two guards trapped, the young man in yellow was even more resentful, a splash of water rose from his feet, dragging his body into the air, and his hands were sealed to guide the water flow into a bucket-thick water dragon roaring towards Wen Haotian with teeth and claws. Wen Haotian looked at the momentum of the water dragon and didn't dare to be careless, urged the Hades King Jue's first "burning sacrifice", and hit the water dragon with his right hand, and a black fire dragon of the same thickness as the water dragon opened its huge mouth against the water dragon and bit down.
The two dragons of water and fire were entangled and fighting, and at this time, Wen Haotian was also shocked in his heart, the young man in yellow in front of him had not yet refined his soul like himself, and he actually had such a yin qi cultivation, if he hadn't broken through the third "quick birth" of the Hades Jue, and had a steady supply of yin qi, he was really not the opponent of the young man in yellow in front of him.
Wen Haotian didn't intend to kill the young man in yellow and the two guards, he and Qin Lan defected to the command of the King of Equality, if he killed the son and guards of the King of Equality, this would make a mortal enemy for himself. He has enough yin qi, Wen Haotian plans to trap the two guards, and consume it with the third prince, and when his yin qi is exhausted, just teach him a lesson.
The third prince saw that he was entangled with Wen Haotian, and it was clear that his yin qi cultivation was above this young man, but he was stunned that he couldn't help him in the slightest, and was about to mobilize the yin qi of his whole body to give a fatal blow, but he was knocked to the ground.
"Stop, you little rabbit, you know how to make trouble for Lao Tzu all day long..."
The person who spoke was an old man in his fifties and sixties wearing a dragon crown and a red dragon robe, and this person was Bai Zhengtian, the king of equality. Bai Zhengtian actually came here when his son took two guards to kill Wen Haotian, the reason why he hid his figure and didn't show up was to see how capable the young man in front of him was, although his youngest son was a little arrogant, but his cultivation qualifications were excellent, and he had broken through the third level of the family heirloom technique "Water Dragon Divine Scroll" before refining his soul, and the cultivators at the peak level of forging were not necessarily his opponents.
When he saw the two guards trapped, the youngest son was blocked by the young man in front of him with all his strength, and he faintly had the intention of falling behind. However, he could see that the young man's yin qi cultivation was under his son, so he made up his mind, and when his son and the guards consumed the young man's yin qi, he was taking action to save the young man, so that the young man would be grateful to him, and in the future, he would swear allegiance to the ghost city of Ah Bi. Unexpectedly, the yin qi on the young man's body was constantly replenished from the black water lilies under his feet, and he had no intention of drying up at all, and his son was about to be defeated, so he saw that the young man in front of him did not use all his strength, but should be thinking about his son's identity and deliberately giving a little lesson.
Bai Zhengtian, the king of equality, sighed, separated his son from the young man in front of him, and slightly attached to the cultivation, knocking his son to the ground. At this time, Wen Haotian saw the old man's outfit in front of him, and also recognized that this person must be the King of Equality, and seeing that he knocked his son to the ground, he suddenly had a little more affection for this king's behavior of not protecting his heirs.
"Dad, I'm just teaching this long worm a lesson..."
"Shut up, all the shame on Lao Tzu, although the python clan and our clan have some misunderstandings in the past, but their people come to the king's command, this king should open the door to welcome guests, this is a blessing, you little rabbit cub, will only add to the chaos. Someone came, took the three princes back and imprisoned him in the room, and waited for three days before the "Soul Sealing Ceremony" released him to participate. ”
"Yes, my lord. ”
"Daddy... Daddy..."
The third prince was forcibly taken back to the ghost city by two guards, and then the king of equality said with an approving smile on his face,
"Thank you for the mercy of the little doll's subordinates, let the dog live, this king has written it down, if he wants the little doll in the day, this king will do his best. ”
"The King of Equality is serious, in the following Haotian, he and his friend Qin Lan came to the command of the King of Equality to seek refuge, how dare he ask for it again. ”
"Oh... Hahahaha... The little doll is here to serve under the command of this king, that is the blessing of this king, just three days later, it is the triennial "Soul Sealing Ceremony" of my Abi Ghost City, and the little doll can't miss it. The little doll of the spirit python clan, you can come to the command of this king, this king can't ask for it, the child is reckless, it didn't hurt you, right?"
After King Ping finished speaking, he walked towards the thin young man in white behind Wen Haotian, and when the young man in white saw King Ping coming, he hurriedly stood up and saluted,
"The King of Equality doesn't care about his past suspicions, Xiaosheng is very grateful!"
"Hey, whatever you say, it's all about the older generation of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, and it has nothing to do with you juniors, okay, let's go into the city with this king." ”
After King Ping brought the three of them into the ghost city of Abi, he separated from Sanfen and returned to the palace. After the three of them got acquainted, they learned that the thin young man in white was called Luo Zifeng, back then, the father of Bai Zhengtian, the king of equality, was young and vigorous, passing through the territory of the spirit python clan, because the food was not appetizing, he clashed with the spirit python people, and was trapped on land by the spirit python people, and later the patriarch of the spirit python clan learned about it, and he personally put Bai Zhengtian's father back into the sea.
"That's also the father of the King of Equality who stirred up trouble first, and they are still reasonable..."
After hearing this, Qin Lan fried the pot and angrily hugged Luo Zifeng. Luo Zifeng hurriedly blocked Qin Lan's mouth and looked around cautiously,
"Miss Qin Lan, you are quiet, the King of Equality is humble, loves the people like a son, and is loved by the ghosts in the territory under his jurisdiction, you are trying to arouse the anger of the people. ”
Wen Haotian also noticed that the eyes of the pedestrians on the street looked at the three of them with a little more hostility, Qin Lan stuck out his tongue, was pushed by Luo Zifeng, quickly left the crowd, and turned into another alley, only then did he say to Wen Haotian and Qin Lan,
"The father of the King of Equality was trapped on land for many days, and due to severe dehydration, he was branded with a problem, that is, a layer of dragon scales had to be shed every hundred years. Dragon scales are the natural solid armor of the dragon clan, and they will not fade for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the longer they grow, the harder they become, and now they fade once every hundred years, which makes the strength of the old king seriously reduced, and even once attacked by other netherworld forces. It is precisely for this reason that the Equality King clan and the Spirit Python clan have formed a bond. Although the King of Equality provoked trouble first, the Spirit Python clan almost brought the disaster of annihilation to the King of Equality. ”
After listening to Luo Zifeng's narration, Qin Lan smiled awkwardly, embarrassed by his impatience of only listening to the beginning and not listening to the result, while Wen Haotian admired the open-mindedness of the current Equality King. The three of them discussed finding an inn to live in first, and by the way, they would familiarize themselves with the situation in the ghost town in the next few days.
