Chapter VIII: Spheres of Influence
Don't underestimate such a small opening, just such a small gap can bring a major turning point to Di Tian's life.
Originally, Emperor Tian's physique, because he was wrapped in that vein qi, the meridians in his body could not communicate with the heaven and earth vitality, so he naturally could not step into the path of cultivation. However, now that such a gap has been broken, Emperor Tian can absorb the essence of heaven and earth vitality through cultivation, thereby refining his physique, and thus embark on the path of a cultivator.
At this time, the Heavenly Dao Sword also seemed to feel the joy in Di Tian's heart, and it began to tremble lightly in Di Tian's hand.
Di Tian looked at the Heavenly Dao Sword in his hand and couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you happy for me?" haha, although I still don't understand what's going on. But since you are willing to follow me, it means that my character is not bad, master. As for how you brought me to such a hellish place in the first place, I won't bother with you anymore. Now I have only one goal, and that is to break through the extreme of cultivators and pursue the Immortal Dao, hoping to return to my hometown again one day!"
His mood changed, and at this time, Di Tian looked at the rusty sword in his hand again, and he actually felt that it had become much more pleasing to the eye.
"Tiandao, I heard those two people call you that, right? Hehe, I was already a little desperate for returning to my hometown, but now I evoked that longing again, although I don't know what is going on. But it seems that it is thanks to you. Since we are also in a different place now, let's turn this place upside down, and then go back in style. Hahaha......"
Di Tian, who was in the midst of excitement, didn't care whether the rusty sword in his hand could understand what he was saying, and he was talking to himself alone, one moment in the language of the Heavenly Continent, and the other time in the language of the earth, like madness.
I don't know how long it took to do this, but then Emperor Cai suddenly remembered the existence of the black-toothed python not far away.
Di Tian smiled, the black-toothed python was obviously full of fear of this Heavenly Dao Sword in Di Tian's hand, the previous majesty had long since dissipated at this time, facing Di Tian, it didn't even dare to raise its head, just curled up in a corner, trembling all over.
The corners of Di Tian's mouth raised, and he suddenly said: "Just now, you guy seems to be very majestic, you want to kill me, right?"
Ironically, the relationship between the two seems to have been completely reversed at this time, and the prey that could only blindly choose to flee for their lives has now turned into a hunter.
Emperor Tian deliberately gestured a few times with the rusty sword, only to see that the black-toothed python was so frightened that it almost wanted to fly out of the sky, but now it didn't even seem to have the courage to escape, so it could only curl up, pitifully waiting for death to come.
Di Tian looked at it, completely sitting still, without the slightest will to resist, for no reason, he suddenly felt a sense of boredom.
Although I don't understand that the black-toothed python that was fierce and vicious just now, it seems more timid than a docile pet at this time, but looking at its appearance, the fire that Di Tian was holding in his stomach has really dissipated almost.
Di Tian suddenly sighed, glanced at the pitiful black-toothed python, suddenly put away the long sword in his hand, and said: "Forget it, you and I didn't have any deep hatred, but the two of us broke into your habitat by mistake, and you guys have nothing to do but chase and kill us." But after all, you are at the critical point of transformation, and it is no wonder that you are so hostile to us when we break in like this. Speaking of which, although I am not an orthodox good person, I have always disdained to kill those guys who have no sense of resistance. That's it, I won't kill you, if you can find a quiet place to take care of the wounds on your body as soon as possible, maybe it's still too late, take care of yourself. ”
After saying this, Emperor Tian didn't care whether the black-toothed python could understand or not, so he walked to the side where the emperor was lying.
And look at the black-toothed python again, sure enough, the high-level demon beast is still full of spirituality, it seems to understand what Ditian means, hesitated in place for a while, suddenly showed a grateful look, and then moved, before leaving, he looked back at Ditian again, then turned around and disappeared into the woods, never to be seen again.
originally thought it was a mortal situation, but no one expected that there would be such a dramatic side. Di Tian chuckled and shook his head, came to Di Hao's side, and called him a few times without any response. A sniff, although a little faint, but fortunately it is normal.
Emperor Tian was thinking about waking him up, and then he suddenly remembered the rusty sword in his hand, the body of this sword was too long, and the appearance was so eye-catching and rusty, how could he explain its origin to others at that time?
Di Tianzheng felt a headache because of this, but he suddenly sensed a slight tremor of the long sword in his hand, as if the Heavenly Dao Sword had already understood his thoughts. I saw that the Heavenly Dao Sword suddenly screamed softly, and struggled out of Di Tian's hand, and then the golden light flashed, and it turned into a golden light, which instantly shot into Di Tian's body.
Emperor Tian was taken aback at the beginning, and subconsciously wanted to defend, but in the blink of an eye, he felt that the Heavenly Dao Sword had no malice at all, and even if he wanted to resist, in front of this magical Heavenly Dao Sword, it seemed that he had no ability to resist.
The Heavenly Dao Sword turned into golden light and entered Di Tian's body, Di Tian obviously felt that there seemed to be something more in his body, it was a strange energy, Di Tian tried to control it, but he couldn't control it. And at this time, he couldn't get the Heavenly Dao Sword out of his body anymore, although he could clearly feel its existence, but he couldn't summon it.
In the end, Emperor Tian could only reluctantly choose to give up, if he couldn't get it, he couldn't get it, anyway, if it really intended to harm himself, it wouldn't be too troublesome. Anyway, this time, thanks to the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Sword, he not only escaped from death, but also expected to step into the path of cultivation, which is really a blessing in misfortune.
Emperor Tian pinched a few times among the people of Emgrand, and after a while, Emgrand woke up and turned around.
"Young, young master...... What am I?"
The emperor was still a little dazed, rubbed his head, which was still a little dizzy, and then suddenly reacted, turned his head to look around, and suddenly shouted: "Black-toothed python! What about the demon beast? Young master, that evil beast didn't do anything to you, right?"
Di Tian looked at his look full of concern, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Okay, I'm fine, the black-toothed python has already left, I'll explain the details to you on the way back." Now you can still go, we should also leave this place quickly, otherwise in our current state, if we encounter some high-level demon beast again, it will really be the end of the game. ”
Emgrand nodded immediately and quickly got up from the ground. Then Di Tian led the way, and the two returned to the same way, preparing to go down the mountain.
On the way, Di Tian roughly explained to him what happened after he fainted, but Di Tian skipped the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Sword, and only said that he took advantage of the black-toothed python's unpreparedness and stabbed it with a dagger, and then the black-toothed python was in pain, and finally chose to flee.
Although the description in this is an understatement, the Emgrand who has experienced the battle with the black-toothed python clearly understands the danger involved. In his opinion, it was undoubtedly too shocking that a person like Yi Ditian, who had not even been able to open a coffin, could repel that high-level demon beast that he couldn't even take it himself.
However, Emperor Hao has a blind understanding of Emperor Tian, it seems that in his eyes, there is nothing that his young master cannot do, so he doesn't feel much doubt, just worships Emperor Tian there.
Emperor Tian could only smile indifferently at this, the matter of the Heavenly Dao Sword could not be leaked out at will, so he could only accept the praise of Emperor Hao about him calmly.
There was nothing to do all the way, and when the two of them went down the mountain, it was already sunset. When I returned to Qingzhou City, it was already nightfall, and the lights in Qingzhou City were on, and people who had been busy all day finally had a rare rest and began to enjoy the tranquility of the night.
I have to say that at this time, the appearance of the two emperors and Tiantian was indeed a little embarrassed, they were chased and killed by the black-toothed python in the forest for most of the day, and the clothes on their bodies were already in tatters, which was not much different from those beggars on the street. This process has attracted a lot of attention from passers-by.
In this regard, Di Tian seemed relatively calm, looking indifferent. Emgrand is different, he has always been scruples in his heart, afraid that their identities will be recognized and the reputation of the emperor family will be discredited. Looking at the Emgrand who was cautious along the way for fear of being seen by others, Ditian couldn't help but smile and said: "I said Emsty, what are you doing hiding and hiding here, the eldest girl is getting married?"
Emgrand turned his head to look at him and said, "Young Master, this side of the city is the Fang family's sphere of influence, their Fang family has always been on the wrong path with our imperial family, and it seems that there is a deep dispute over some things recently. I think it's better for the two of us to be careful, don't let the people of their Fang family bump into each other, so as not to cause trouble for no reason. ”
When Di Tian heard it, he felt that the Fang family that the Emperor Hao was talking about was a wealthy family that was the same as their Emperor family, and it was a wealthy family of the two major families in Qingzhou City. It's just that today's imperial family has gradually declined, on the other hand, the Fang family is like a rising star, which has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and faintly has the momentum of overpowering the imperial family.
Speaking of which, compared with those wealthy families in the world, the imperial family is at most a second- or third-rate, or even an unpopular family. But in Qingzhou City, it is undoubtedly a wealthy family. However, this Fang family was originally just a merchant family, and it was not as deep as the emperor's family, but in recent years, it seems to have received the support of some forces, which has been able to develop rapidly, and now it has even formed a trend of fighting against the imperial family.
In fact, not long ago, because of the two families over some commercial divisions in Qingzhou City, there were several large-scale disputes, and even force was used.
However, in the end, it was the chamber of commerce in the city and the imperial court that came forward to stop the dispute. But even so, the two families are peaceful on the surface, and there are constant disputes in secret. When he was at home, Di Tian's father, Di Chongyang, also had a headache because of this.
"You're right, now that our Emperor family and the Fang family are in the same situation, it's really better to avoid some unnecessary troubles as much as possible. ”
Emperor Tian said this, and the two of them unanimously chose to keep a low profile, only thinking about returning to Nancheng as soon as possible, which was within the sphere of influence of their emperor family.
However, the world is so unpredictable, sometimes you don't want to get into trouble, but trouble can find you.
The two Emperor Tian saw that they were about to pass through Beicheng, but at this time, they suddenly heard an extremely arrogant voice from behind them: "Hey, the two people in front of them are asking for food, stop for Lao Tzu!"
The two of Di Tian's figures froze, and Di Hao unconsciously looked at Di Tian, as if asking him what to do.
Di Tian whispered, "Don't care, go ours." ”
At this time, the voice behind him said a little impatiently: "You didn't hear Lao Tzu speak, right, tell you to stop!"
At the same time as the words fell, the two Emperor Tian had already heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, and it seemed that many people were rushing towards them. Di Tian couldn't help frowning, it seemed that this trouble was inevitable today.
Looking back, at this time, they were already surrounded by more than a dozen people, looking at the clothes of those people, it should be the people of the Fang family.
Moreover, Di Tian recognized the guy with a very arrogant expression at a glance, Fang Dongliang, the third young master of the Fang family. This Fang Dongliang is a well-known gentleman in Qingzhou City, relying on his family's great power, he has always walked sideways in Qingzhou City, bullying men and women, which can be said to be all evil.
Regarding his deeds, although Di Tian didn't go out much on weekdays, he also heard a lot.
Moreover, in some of the previous gatherings of the Qingzhou City Chamber of Commerce, he had seen this person a few times, and at that time, he felt that he was arrogant, and his domineering appearance made people look extremely unhappy.
I wanted to avoid trouble, but I didn't expect to end up with such a headache.
However, since they have all been found, Di Tian will naturally not be willing to fall behind, so he immediately showed a calm smile, looked at Fang Dongliang, who was like a thin monkey, and said: "It turned out to be the third young master of the Fang family, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if you have any advice?"
When Fang Dongliang heard Di Tian's words, he also walked up a few steps, looked at Di Tian carefully, and then suddenly smiled: "I just said that this person has always looked familiar, it turned out to be you kid! Haha, everyone come and take a look, guess who this is?"
