Chapter 356: The Past
Tianhu looked at Li Tai'an, who was hiding in the many light clusters, and sighed a little at Li Tai'an's rogue behavior. Tianhu himself didn't expect that after Li Tai'an found out that he was afraid of these light groups, he would hide directly in the light group, making himself unable to make a move in a short time.
"Li Tai'an, aren't you trying to stop my plan?! But with you now, how can you stop my plans? You have to at least come out, don't hide like a turtle with a shrunken head. Sky Fox quickly shuttled through the light cluster while looking for Li Tai'an's traces.
But what worries Tianhu is that if he really finds Li Tai'an later, he will do it himself regardless of it, and once these light clusters are detonated, then this period of preparation will be completely in vain.
Therefore, the best way is to force Li Tai'an out, and at that time, Tianhu will never give Li Tai'an a chance to come in again.
However, what Tianhu didn't know was that Li Tai'an didn't want to stop Tianhu's plan now. For Li Tai'an, it is more important to protect Fukushima and the many innocent people on Fukushima.
Even if Tianshuiyuan will disappear in the end, but now, whether it is for Li Tai'an or for others, this is the best choice. In the face of Sky Fox, Zhu Yan and Yaqi Snake, they really don't have the ability to protect everything.
Therefore, Li Tai'an's goal when he entered these light groups was very simple, to gain enough time to bring out the famous knife that had never appeared. As long as he gets the famous knife, Li Tai'an will rush back to the Jiaopeng government as quickly as possible, strive to be there, first subdue the Yaqi Snake, and then find an opportunity to deal with Tianhu and Zhu Yan.
As his mind gradually sank, the call of the famous knife to Li Tai'an quickly became clear. Li Tai'an gave up all protection, followed the call of the famous knife, and rushed to the bottom of the sea under Tianshuiyuan little by little.
After crossing the sea and crossing the sea, gradually, Li Tai'an saw a flickering green light in the dark and dim seawater!
This green light gives people a sense of vitality, and in the dim and gloomy ocean floor, it seems to bring a whole piece of hope.
Li Tai'an's mind followed the green light and quickly rushed to the bottom of the sea. In the process, Li Tai'an saw many vivid scenes around him. The sea plants that grow well are beautiful and swimming. It was like a paradise, and all the battles and all the disturbances outside had nothing to do with them.
Relying on this green light, they live happily here. And the closer he gets to the direction of the green light, the more Li Tai'an can feel that warmth and comfort. His whole body and mind, from the inside out, were healed and healed.
If it is even possible, Li Tai'an still wants to rest here forever.
"Hehehe, you can't continue to rest. There are a lot of people out there, waiting for you! ”
However, just as Li Tai'an was about to fall asleep, a gentle voice came into Li Tai'an's mind.
Unconsciously, Li Tai'an had come to the depths of the seabed, and in front of him, there was a long green knife. Different from the weird green liquid on the bone dragon's body, this green gives people the feeling of a vibrant green, and under the illumination of this green light, it seems that everything has become different. That kind of vitality, that feeling of purifying filth, made Li Tai'an can't bear to destroy it for a while.
At this time, a figure slowly floated out from the rebirth of the famous sword.
He looked at Li Tai'an and smiled slowly: "I didn't expect that the one who was recognized for rebirth in the end was not the people from Fukushima!" That surprised me. ”
Li Tai'an looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, and asked curiously, "May I ask who you are?!" ”
After hearing Li Tai'an's question, Renying couldn't help but sigh: "After so many years, to be honest, what is my name, I almost almost forgot myself." But fortunately, after so many years, with the protection of the famous knife, my only remaining soul has been left to the present. Let me take a look at this Fukushima again. ”
Looking at this figure, Li Tai'an knew very well that even if he had the protection of the famous knife, this figure was still at the end of the crossbow, and when the time came, he would still have to dissipate between heaven and earth, and because he took the initiative to break away from the protection of the famous knife, so now the speed of his dissipation has become faster.
Li Tai'an stretched out his hand, just about to remind him, but the figure waved his hand indifferently, looked at Li Tai'an and said, "It's okay, I should have dissipated in this heaven and earth a long time ago." If it weren't for the original sword master's unbearable resistance, my soul would not have survived to the present. And if you want to take this famous knife, my soul, you can't continue to stay here, otherwise you won't be able to take the famous knife. ”
Seeing this, Li Taian didn't say much.
Because this famous knife is too important for Li Taian and Fukushima. Without this famous sword, Li Tai'an and their team would not have been able to defeat the Yaqi Orochi, and they would not have been able to save Fukushima from the coercion of the Yaki Orochi.
"Thousands of years ago, I gathered the strength of the whole of Fukushima to forge these ten famous swords. But because I was missing the last step, I knew in my heart at the time that if I wanted to defeat the Yaki Orochi, I might not be able to do it. But at that time, the Yaki Orochi had become more and more excessive, and the rule over our Fukushima was becoming more and more brutal, so time did not leave me much chance, and even if the last step failed, I would launch a war against the Yaki Orochi.
It's a pity, the final result is exactly as I thought, although I drove out the Yaqi Snake, but if I want to completely kill the Yaki Snake, I can't do it at all. Although he regained control of Fukushima, the threat of the Yaki Orochi has continued to this day. Alas, after all, it was the last step missing! The figure slowly dissipated, shook his head and sighed.
Hearing what the figure said, Li Tai'an suddenly understood, it turned out that he was the emperor thousands of years ago. He forged ten famous swords, he overthrew the rule of Yaki Orochi, and it was he who bought Fukushima a certain respite.
"Junior Li Tai'an, I've seen my senior!" Thinking of this, Li Tai'an hurriedly said.
Although Li Tai'an was not from Fukushima, out of respect for the emperor, he still arched his hand to show respect.
"I'm just a useless old man, what seniors are not predecessors. This famous knife tells me that what your family does is the really powerful thing, and what your family has paid is much more powerful than me, a useless old man! The emperor waved his hand casually, pointed to the pointing knife and said.
Li Tai'an glanced at the green famous knife in surprise, he didn't expect that this famous knife would still know something about their Li family's heavenly master.
The Li family's heavenly masters have the duty to subdue foreign beasts for generations, but Fukushima seems to have never appeared in Li Tai'an's impression, and it stands to reason that the Li family's heavenly master should not have any intersection with this Fukushima, right?!
Looking at Li Tai'an's doubts, the emperor smiled and said, "At that time, I was recruiting warriors to deal with the Yaqi Great Snake, and someone stood up and said that there was another land far away from Fukushima, and it was rumored that that land was our real home. In that land, there are not only abundant materials, but also many powerful existences. Among them, he kicked the Li family Heavenly Master.
It was also at that time that I became aware of the existence of your family, subduing powerful beasts for generations, and bringing a glimmer of stability and peace to humanity.
Therefore, when I heard the news, I immediately sent warriors to drive boats to that land to find the existence of your Li family's Heavenly Master.
However, this wait is three years. In the past three years, none of the soldiers I sent out have sent a message back, and I don't even know whether they are alive or dead, but seeing that the schedule for the crusade against the Yaki Orochi is approaching, and the forging of the famous sword is nearing the end, I don't dare to put it off, so I can only put down the hope in my heart and focus on the matter in front of me.
But you know what? At that time, there were not ten famous knives I forged, but nine! It's just nine famous knives! ”
Hearing this, Li Tai'an looked directly at the famous knife behind the emperor, but on that famous knife, Li Tai'an didn't feel any familiar aura, although it was very powerful, but it really had nothing to do with their Li family Heavenly Master.
"Then how did this famous knife come about?!" Li Tai'an asked.
The Emperor raised his head, not knowing whether he was looking at Tensuihara or at Fukushima beyond Tensuzuhara.
"Just when the battle was about to start, the soldiers who went out finally brought back the news. It turned out that when they were sailing, they encountered wind and waves. At that time, the ship-making technology was not perfect, so the ship they took did not resist the invasion of wind and waves, and was completely fragmented on the sea. Almost all of them died on the sea, but fortunately he was saved by a Taoist priest and survived.
But because of the language barrier, coupled with serious physical injuries, his life span was greatly shortened, so at the beginning, he didn't know where to find the Li family's Heavenly Master, so he could only follow the Taoist priest, wandering around, exploring everywhere. I look forward to hearing about the existence of the Li Family's Heavenly Master during the journey, so as to bring the Li Family's Heavenly Master back and deal with the Baqi Snake!
However, this wait is three years.
Within three years, he followed this Taoist priest everywhere to kill demons, and even learned the local language, and practiced a good skill. That Taoist priest was also very good to him, teaching him a skill while also helping him solve Shouyuan's crisis, so that he could have more opportunities to deal with the rest of the matter. ”
Li Tai'an nodded and said, "On our side, there are indeed many unborn masters. They don't like fame and fortune, nor do they like money, and while the world is their home, killing demons has also become their most fundamental duty. It was also his luck to be able to meet that master. ”
The emperor nodded: "So, for that place, I yearn for it even more!" However, he knew that if he continued to wander here, he would not be able to solve the problem after all, what he needed was to find the Li Family Heavenly Master and find a way to get rid of the Baqi Great Snake, now that three years had passed, seeing that the time was getting less and less, he didn't want to continue to wait.
Therefore, he thought about the Taoist priest and proposed his resignation!
The Taoist priest was puzzled, feeling that in the past three years, he had enjoyed his time with him, and the Taoist priest also knew that he wanted to stay by his side and travel with him, but why did he suddenly resign?!
So he didn't hide it, and told everything about Fukushima and Yaqi Orochi, and then, after thanking the Taoist priest again, he was about to leave.
In the end, the Taoist priest stopped him and didn't say anything, just handed him the wooden sword that had just been sharpened, along with a letter. Then the two of them said goodbye.
Soon, he set foot on the way home, and on the way back, he opened the letter and found that the Taoist priest he had been following was the Li family Heavenly Master. And the sword handed to him by the Li Family Heavenly Master was also the last help given to him by the Li Family Heavenly Master.
In the letter, the Li family Heavenly Master said: It is the duty of my generation to subdue demons and eliminate demons. After hearing what happened to Fukushima, I should have gone with you to subdue the monsters that plagued the world! But there are many affairs, and the world here is not peaceful. As soon as I stay away, the big demon that I was hiding will immediately appear and endanger the world. So I can only give you a wooden sword and teach you a skill, hoping that you can rely on these two things to solve the disaster in your hometown and restore Fukushima to a peaceful place! ”
After speaking, the emperor actually bowed slowly to Li Tai'an, and said admiringly: "Thank you to the Li family's heavenly master for helping!" If it weren't for the wooden sword given to us by your ancestors, it is very likely that until now, we would still be under the rule of the Yaki Snake, and without your ancestors, we would not be able to deal with the Yaki Snake! ”
Li Tai'an went up to help the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor on the other side was just a phantom, so Li Tai'an couldn't help him at all, so he could only say busily: "It's serious!" Just like the ancestors said, subduing demons and eliminating demons is our duty! ”
After listening to the emperor's words, Li Tai'an remembered that in his family's records, there was indeed an ancestor who mentioned this matter.
That ancestor is called Li Yuan, before he became the Li family's heavenly master, he was a Taoist priest on Fuyuan Mountain, and after he became a heavenly master, he relied on two identities to kill demons and demons all the way in the world.
In the memories of the ancestor Li Yuan, a very clear record of a regretful thing, he said that he was on the sea and rescued a man in strange clothes.
After that, the man wandered with him for three years and left after three years.
But since then, the man has not been seen, and not even a letter has been sent.
The ancestors regretted this. But he was also very worried about whether there was something wrong with the man, so that he did not have a letter.
But because the ancestor did not ask the address of his hometown when he left, there was no way for the ancestor to go to the man's hometown and inquire about the man's situation after he was free.
Even if the big demon in the man's hometown has been dealt with, the ancestors are concerned.
Now after listening to it, Li Tai'an suddenly remembered. In this regard, Li Taian is also extremely embarrassed.
It seems that the man who traveled with the ancestors should have died in the battle against the Yaki Orochi, but if he can leave the address, maybe the ancestors will indeed rush over, and in that case, the Yaki Orochi will not be able to harm Fukushima for so many years.
You must know that the Li Family Heavenly Master and Li Tai'an are different, and the Li Family Heavenly Master in the back is not something that one or two such Baqi Snakes can deal with.
"Since this is the regret of the ancestors, then I will definitely complete the regrets of the ancestors and help you eliminate the Yaqi Snake!" Li Tai'an hurriedly said to the emperor.
"Thanks! Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, I can see the descendants of the Li family's heavenly masters, it seems that God has not forgotten our Fukushima! The emperor also sighed.
"By the way, I would like to ask, what is the name of the man who has traveled with my ancestors? If I have the chance, I would like to visit the shrine too! Li Tai'an asked again.
After all, this is also the regret of his ancestors, and his ancestors are also very concerned about this companion who has been with him for three years.
"His name is Kaedehara Isshin! He is the ancestor of the Kaedehara clan! The emperor recalled.
"The Kaedehara tribe? I didn't think we were really fated! Li Tai'an said in surprise.
Thousands of years ago, his ancestors traveled with the ancestors of Kojiro Kaedehara; Thousands of years later, he and Kaedehara Kojiro have a master-apprentice relationship, and it seems that the fate between the two is already doomed!
"Thank you seniors for your doubts! But now because of the crisis of the situation, the juniors must leave with the wooden sword! ”
"Don't worry, there's one more thing, I have to tell you!"
