Chapter 38: Holy Water and Evil Fire II
"Hahaha!" Tang Yingjie laughed heartily a few times, "Uncle Qiu, then I'll go to the council hall first! It is estimated that Uncle Long and Aunt Bai will have to wait in a hurry!"
"Whoosh!" Tang Yingjie's body disappeared in an instant, turned into a flash of fire, and quickly rushed out of the cultivation room and rushed down the stairs, leaving only a red and orange afterimage.
"Hmph," Qiu Bai snorted coldly and blew twice, "This kid is still the same." β
Ye Hengyuan was still trying his best to urge the spiritual power in his body to drive away the heat released by Tang Yingjie. The heat was so fierce and intense that it burned his entire arm and began to redden.
"Let's go. β
Qiu Bai took Ye Hengyuan downstairs and walked down layer by layer. As he passed the third floor, he pretended to inadvertently glance at the two orange-red doors.
"Master," Ye Hengyuan rubbed his scalded left arm vigorously, "Why is this Tang General so powerful? He doesn't seem to be much older than Long Lin...... He has become a spirit general......"
"I said it," Qiu Bai's tone was light, "he is a rare genius of the Star Flame Sect in a hundred years. Although he didn't go to Cangling Academy, he was once the chief student of their Xingyan Academy. Although he is a genius, he can also cause trouble, drinking, fighting, picking up girls and the like. The previous generation of evil fire spirits will be an old man older than Wu Hai, and when he died, he had no disciples, so the ruling government and the military commission decided to use a special sΓ©ance ceremony to select him. Unexpectedly, this kid's compatibility with the core of evil fire turned out to be the highest. The consul didn't know which nerve was wrong, so he approved him to be the new Evil Fire Spirit General. Now this kid's strength is probably around the second to third level of the fifth order. If nothing else, there is a chance that he will be able to reach the eighth order in the future, and he may even become the new commander of the twelve spirit generals. The consul said that he and the assault force under his command are the current focus of the entire military. β
"Wow!" Ye Hengyuan opened his mouth wide again, "He's already a fifth-order third......-order?"
Qiu Bai suddenly turned around, raised his hand, gently pinched Ye Hengyuan's chin, pushed up, closed his mouth again, and then looked at him with serious eyes.
"Xiaoyuan. β
"Hmm?" Ye Hengyuan didn't react, and when he saw that the master suddenly became serious, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
"You don't need to envy anyone," Qiu Bai's eyes seemed to burn with two cyan flames, "your talent is better than anyone else's." Trust me and believe in yourself. You will be better than him in the future. β
Ye Hengyuan immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at broken rice. Qiu Bai let go of his hand and continued to walk down the stairs.
"Master," Ye Hengyuan rubbed his chin and followed, "Do you hate General Tang very much?"
Qiu Bai turned his head, faced Ye Hengyuan, raised his hand, shook his head, and waved his hand again.
"It's not that I hate him. I hate all the Astral Flame Sect people. β
"Ah, why is that?" Ye Hengyuan didn't understand.
Qiu Bai shook his head and turned his body back.
"You don't need to know about this yet. I'll tell you about my experiences, my grievances, when I have time. Remember, I don't want to tell you, you don't ask, sooner or later you will find out. The same will be true for meetings later. You'll sit in the back row with the rest of the disciples. If there's something you don't understand or can't understand, don't ask right away. As long as no one asks you to speak, try not to speak. Got it?"
"Understood, Master. Ye Hengyuan did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.
Qiu Bai took Ye Hengyuan down the spiral staircase and returned to the first floor. The two doors on the first floor were still closed, the colorful patterns on the doors were a little dimmer than before, and the candles in the menorah were also dimmed.
"Huh?" Qiu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the door, "What's going on?
"Master," Ye Hengyuan stood beside Qiu Bai, "Is there any spirit coming......?" Isn't it the Dark Spirit?"
"Probably not," Qiu Bai waved his hand, "the current dark spirit general can basically be said to be elusive. She has never been seen in public, and no one has seen her except for the archon and several high-ranking military officials, as well as Wu Hai and Long Yao. I haven't seen her much, let alone her for what she really is. β
"Squeak-"
The door on the left suddenly opened. A man came out of the door.
The man had long hair that was combed in the middle, hanging from the sides of his head to his shoulders, covering both of his ears and half of his face. His hair was sea-blue, with a few strands of dark green like poisonous juice in between, and he looked like aquatic plants growing in the dark ditch at the bottom of the abyss, as if he could come to life at any time and at any time, and then devour all the life around him. He was about sixty years old, with a dark complexion, but his skin was loose and soft, and his eyes were blue like those of a glowing fish in the depths of the sea. On his tall, thin and tall body like a bamboo pole, a dark blue robe was shrouded, and underneath the robe was a uniform, on which was printed the national emblem of the Cangling Kingdom, as well as the patterns of the mother core and the twelve child cores. On each of his wrists were two sky-blue bracelets, each with a black pattern, and a dozen sesame-sized characters arranged around each pattern. On the edges of his boots, which are made entirely of metal, there are also two rings of the same style, but slightly larger.
"General Kang. Qiu Bai stepped forward and gave a military salute.
"Uh...... Healthy...... General Kang: Okay. Ye Hengyuan didn't dare to slack off, and also saluted behind Qiu Bai.
Kang Long nodded, the corners of his mouth raised a little, and he smiled. His beard was also dark blue, both on his chin and on his lips, the most secluded blue. As he laughed, the mustache above his lips moved, like a paramecium. If you have a child here, you will be amused by it.
"General Kang," Qiu Bai took a step back, "haven't you been guarding the north, and why have you come back too?"
Kang Long nodded, and his eyes fell on Ye Hengyuan behind Qiu Bai.
"Because of the Demon Spirit Guide test. The current situation in the north is relatively stable. I've been in charge of the Demon Guide's experiments over there, and I've been getting some results so far. β
His voice was low and hoarse, sounding like it was coming from the depths of the trench.
"Yes," Qiu Bai nodded, "the important thing now is the west. I have come back this time to report on the situation in the west. β
"Hmm. β
Kang Long took two steps forward, walked to Ye Hengyuan's side, opened his hand, and patted him on the shoulder. His steps were a bit stiff, not as natural as Qiu Bai's, nor as powerful as Tang Yingjie's.
Ye Hengyuan felt a cool spiritual power. It comes from the coolness of water, not the coldness of ice. This water-attribute spiritual power is like a small whirlpool, deep and thick, with the palm as the axis, constantly rotating, and constantly releasing circle-like spiritual power fluctuations.
"Is this your apprentice? The qualifications are great. β
"Undertaking ...... Courtesy of General Kang. Ye Hengyuan nodded with a smile, showing an embarrassed look.
"Huh. β
Kang Long smiled again, showing his yellowed teeth, and bowed his head slightly, as if thinking about something, or missing something.
"General Kang," Qiu Bai asked, "the meeting must be about to begin, right?"
Kang Long nodded and walked slowly back to the door.
"Yes. It started right away. Come in. β
After saying this, he entered the door and disappeared from Qiu Bai and Ye Hengyuan's sight.
"Master......"
"Xiaoyuan," Qiu Bai raised his hand and interrupted Ye Hengyuan's questioning, "Don't ask anything now." You just need to know that Lieutenant General Kang Long is the current Holy Water Spirit General, and he is also one of the best Demon Spirit Guide experts in the entire Cangling Country. I'll tell you about him in the future. β
"Yes, Master. Ye Hengyuan nodded.
Qiu Bai walked to the door and stood next to the door on the left that Kang Long had just entered, but did not enter immediately. Ye Hengyuan followed behind him.
"Xiaoyuan," Qiu Bai stretched out his hand and pointed to the door on the other side, "We're going to go separately." I'll come in from here, and you come in through that door. You just have to keep going inside to find your location. Once you've found your seat, just sit down. Got it?"
"Yes, Master. Ye Hengyuan nodded.
Qiu Bai smiled, stretched out his hand, opened the seal on the door on the right, and then walked into the door on the left and closed the door.
Ye Hengyuan entered the door on the right without hesitation. As soon as he entered, the door closed automatically, making a "quack" sound.
He didn't think much of it and walked straight ahead. This is an upward passage, which is not very long, that is, the distance of a dozen steps. The furnishings on both sides of the passage are exactly the same as those outside, that is, there is a candlestick hanging in the middle of every two figure paintings, and two candles are inserted in the candlestick.
He quickly walked into a room. The room was a cubicle suspended above the conference room, with only a row of chairs, a row of guardrails and a row of glass in front of it. Underneath it, there is a conference room that is also cuboidal.
Leng Han and Lei Xi were already seated in their chairs. Lei Xi sat on a chair in the middle, while Leng Han was far away from her, sitting near the corner.
"Xiaoyuan!" Lei Xi turned around, saw Ye Hengyuan, and beckoned to him.
Ye Hengyuan's face flushed, and he immediately returned the salute and walked forward a few steps quickly.
"Senior Sister Lei. β
"Sit down," Lei Xi pointed to the chair to her right, "and we'll start right away." β
"Good...... Good. β
Ye Hengyuan agreed, but did not sit down immediately, but turned his head to the cold on the other side. Leng Han was bowing his head, his eyes closed, his right hand resting on the handle of the table to support his neck, looking as if he was asleep
