Patriarch of Wanjiao

Late at night, the bright moon is like a disk, which seems much bigger than the world of mortals.

The bright moonlight shines on Shifang City, and the lights of thousands of houses gradually go out.

Only a few bustling streets are still bustling with activity.

At this moment, in the center of Shifang City, the Fang family, the city lord's residence.

In the deep and elegant courtyard, the light is extremely bright, and a fist-sized bead emits soft light, driving away the darkness and cold of the night.

On the wall of the courtyard, a stone carving is particularly eye-catching. Amidst the waves of the angry sea, a huge figure shuttles up and down, half dragon body, half fish body, with long beards dancing, showing power without anger.

"Arowana from ancient times... there really was such a strange creature in this world..."

In front of the mysterious and clumsy stone wall, a young man in a green shirt stood for a long time, his handsome face showing deep thought, and his dark eyes seemed to have a flash of light, like runes, fleeting.

"A fish leaping over the dragon gate can transform into a real dragon...Brother Jing, you were born in the Guixu Ghost Market, so you should know this kind of thing."

At this moment, a loud voice came, causing Jing Jiuliu to turn around and look.

In the corridor, a handsome young man arrived belatedly, guarded by two stunning maids. His steps were like the spring breeze, his gestures were like the radiance of stars, dazzling and powerful.

Fang Jisheng is a descendant of a thousand-year-old family.

Here, bearing the surname Fang is a noblewoman of the emperor and heaven, a true pride of heaven, not to mention that she is a direct bloodline of the Fang family in Shifang City.

"Although I was born in [Ghost Market], I have only heard the name of Dragon Fish and have never actually seen it." Jing Jiuliu slowly withdrew his gaze and fell on the ancient stone carving again.

"The founder of Guixu Ghost Market is Han Qi. It is said that this man is extremely intelligent and can explore the mysteries of all things. More than 900 years ago, Shenzong founded [Xia, Shang and Zhou] and destroyed the world. His achievements cannot be forgotten... "

"It stands to reason that the ghost market should have a collection of dragon fish specimens..." Fang Jisheng glanced at Jing Jiuliu as if he meant something.

Although he was outside the world, he had also heard about Han Qi's madness. For the sake of research, this man could be said to have wiped out humanity, destroyed an entire clan without causing any trouble, and killed an entire lineage just to explore the secrets.

It is rumored that Han Qi's private treasury is the largest collection in the world, and it contains everything.

Fang Jisheng expected that there must be more than one specimen of dragon fish bloodline hidden in Han Qi's private treasury.

"Sir Han Qi...except for the research notes, he left nothing behind." Jing Jiuliu said with some embarrassment.

Han Qinai was a strange man. Not only did he create the [Ghost Market], but he even helped Guixu create the top ten magic weapons. However, his death became a mystery and nothing was left, not even his tomb. People learn.

For more than nine hundred years, the ghost market has been searched for.

They feel that as long as they find Han Qi's tomb, they can truly inherit everything from him.

"It is said that if a fish jumps over the dragon gate, it can ascend to the sky and transform into a dragon..." Fang Jisheng pondered for a moment, then did not dwell on Han Qi's topic. He looked at the stone wall and changed the topic.

"In fact, only dragon fish from ancient times can be born in the Dragon Gate Cave and grasp the secret of dragon transformation."

Arowanas are demons from ancient times. It is said that they have special blood. When they reach a certain age, they can reveal a secret hole in their body called Longmen Point.

Once the dragon gate is broken, the heavenly fire can be triggered to burn the mortal body and metamorphose the dragon body.

This is more magical and extraordinary than the golden cicada's transformation.

Therefore, the fish leaping over the dragon gate specifically refers to the dragon fish.

"Immortals don't live with humans, dragons don't mate with snakes... How can such a great creature be achieved by an ordinary carp?"

Thinking of all the legends, Fang Jisheng couldn't help but sneer.

"Brother Fang, you know the purpose of my visit this time." Jing Jiuliu's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice.

"Of course I know that if Guixu wants to build a new divine weapon, it needs dragon bones..."

Fang Jisheng's originally calm face couldn't help but reveal a different look.

Divine weapons are the supreme weapons that can defeat the creation of heaven and earth. Throughout the ages, when it comes to magical weapons, there are only a handful of them.

Now, Guixu actually wants to create a new divine weapon. Not to mention the incredible strength required, just the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures required will cost a huge amount of money.

The dragon bone is an important treasure that Guixu urgently needs.

However, in the vastness of the world and for three thousand years, there is only one true dragon in the sky and on the earth.

"You don't have the guts to hunt down the Dragon King of the East China Sea..." Fang Jisheng chuckled.

At the mention of that name, Jing Jiuliu's face trembled slightly and his eyes became cold.

"Those are the eight greatest demons in the world...who dares to kill them so easily?"

Jing Jiuliu paused for a moment: "Besides, I heard that dragons also have different grades. The Dragon King of the East China Sea is a real dragon... I, Guixu, don't need a dragon bone of that level..."

"Brother Jing is right." Fang Jisheng nodded.

Even if the arowana from ancient times can ascend to heaven and transform into a dragon, there is no single one. Even if they succeed in transforming into a dragon, there is still a difference between them.

But even the lowest dragon is the most terrifying existence among the many monsters and ghosts in the world.

"Brother Fang, I'm not here to listen to your popular science knowledge." Jing Jiuliu said directly.

"Is it possible that you can still find the dragon fish?"

Even if he found the dragon fish, Guixu would not have the time or energy to help it transform into a dragon. Not to mention how long it would take to do so, the success rate was so low that it was almost impossible.

Nowadays, destiny is like this, and in the vast world, there can only be one true dragon.

There is no chance of a second one appearing.

"The dragon fish of ancient times has long since disappeared, but..."

"But what?" Jing Jiuliu asked.

"The Meng family in Naihe City... This lineage has an ancient inheritance, and it has the blood of dragon fish." Fang Jisheng said in a deep voice.

"Naihe City... it's true..." Jing Jiuliu's expression moved slightly, showing surprise.

Compared with [Shifang City], [Naihe City] is an old city. It has existed for many years before the Fang family entered Tianwai City. It can be said to have a long history and grand prestige.

However, more than 900 years ago, Naihe City was completely destroyed. A mysterious Taoist came across the void and shocked the world with his killing spree. He single-handedly slaughtered [Naihe City] and killed hundreds of thousands of people.

After that, the Meng family in Naihe City withered overnight, their bloodline was cut off, and they could no longer live up to their former glory.

"It's so cruel. One hundred thousand lives will be lost in one day..."

The corners of Jing Jiuliu's eyes twitched unnaturally. Even as a monk, even if he stepped into the true breath, he would not dare to destroy a hundred thousand living beings at will. Not to mention the sin, such cause and effect is unimaginable.

What's more, Naihe City is an ancient city, and the Meng family has the blood of dragons and fishes. There are as many masters as clouds, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are more than one strong person who stands at the peak of the true king.

"That Taoist is too powerful and overbearing..."

Fang Jisheng's eyes darkened slightly, Naihe City was destroyed overnight, which is an enduring legend and warning to all the cities outside the world.

"It is said that the Taoist came from a humble background. He was originally just a criminal slave in Naihe City. He was as low as an ant and could not control himself in life or death..."

Fang Jisheng's voice was cold, and he seemed to have a sympathetic anger towards those sin slaves who later killed their masters.

"He has sinned against his bones, and his fate is mysterious... That man later got a great opportunity and followed an old Taoist to travel far away into the stars..."

"Old Taoist!?"

"That's right... No one knows his origins. He appeared in a hurry and no one knows where he came from... When that man appeared again later, he already had unparalleled magical powers..." "He bared his fangs towards Naihe City, murderous thoughts suddenly aroused, and the world was turned upside down. One hundred thousand souls were destroyed in one night..."

Fang Jisheng's words were serious. This incident had a great impact back then, shaking the starry sky and causing everyone in the city to feel in danger.

However, the mysterious Taoist was like a flash in the pan and never appeared in front of the world again.

"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the starry sky. The strength of that Taoist back then is definitely not inferior to the eight great demon immortals in the world today." Fang Jisheng said with a solemn expression.

"There may be dragon bones hidden in the remains of the Meng family!?"

Jing Jiuliu had already mastered a lot of information earlier, but he could not confirm it.

After all, in the outer starry sky, Guixu does not have the power of these great city chiefs.

"Yes, Naihe City was destroyed overnight. From then on, Naihe City was like a ghost land. No one dared to approach the ruins..." Fang Jisheng said solemnly.

That ruins are almost like a forbidden land. Not to mention other things, that Taoist has unparalleled magical powers and his murderous thoughts have come true for thousands of years, not to mention that there are still hundreds of thousands of living beings entangled with resentment.

If the Meng family treasure house could be found, there might be dragon bones in it.

"No wonder...the ruins are the remains of Naihe City..."

Jing Jiuliu was thoughtful and took out a gourd from his arms. It was as red as blood, with dense runes engraved on it, and the mouth of the gourd was sealed with a secret seal.

As soon as the gourd was taken out, it vibrated violently, and a cold and terrifying wave spread out.

Before this, the ghost market master once went deep into the ruins, which seemed like a ghost land.

The murderous thoughts were boiling there, carrying endless resentment and evil spirits.

Gui Shi smelted the killing thoughts there, put them into this gourd, and brought them to Shifang City.

This is one of the conditions of the transaction.

"That Taoist's desire to kill has not been extinguished even after thousands of years. It's really terrifying..."

Fang Jisheng looked at the gourd with a fierce look in his eyes, showing endless desire and excitement.

"The Taoist's murderous intention is astonishing. The resentment of hundreds of thousands of creatures has not disappeared. After thousands of years of nourishment, it has become extremely terrifying."

Jing Jiuliu warned in a deep voice that the murderous thoughts in this gourd were extremely dangerous. If they were released in the world of mortals, they would be enough to wipe out an entire city or region.

In the beginning, the ghost market masters paid a huge price to contain this murderous intention.

"Because of this, if this murderous intention is used to refine the holy weapon... how terrifying would it be!?" Fang Jisheng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a hint of madness.

"Aren't you afraid of backlash?" Jing Jiuliu said solemnly.

He knew very well the terror of the murderous thoughts in this gourd, which was endless and like an abyss, capable of destroying everything.

"As long as there are enough living sacrifices to temporarily calm down, I can refine it into a holy weapon." Fang Jisheng had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Living sacrifice!?" Jing Jiuliu pondered for a moment.

If you want to temporarily quell this murderous desire with a living sacrifice, killing one or two people is not enough.

"Hehe, you forgot, a lot of people have come to Shifang City in recent days." Fang Jisheng sneered.

In recent days, anyone who enters Shifang City for the first time can eat, drink and have fun for free.

Because of such benefits, many people were attracted to Shifang City, and they were placed at the designated locations. In fact, those places were nothing more than altars for living sacrifices.

"The sky is vast, but unfortunately the population is too small. It really can't be compared with the world of mortals." Fang Jisheng couldn't help but sigh.

If he were in the world of mortals, he could capture large numbers of people, and even go into mountains and seas, capture demons and ghosts, and sacrifice them alive at will.

This is the special thing about the human world, with its huge population and the potential for unlimited reproduction.

Therefore, that is the real center of heaven and earth, where luck lies and the royal way is mighty.

"Then when can we leave?" Jing Jiuliu asked in a deep voice.

Naturally, what he cares about is the most precious dragon bone, which is related to whether Guixu can refine a new magic weapon.

"Don't worry, tonight I will make a living sacrifice to refine the sword... After success, I will go to Naihe City with you to open the Meng family's treasure house."

Fang Jisheng's eyes shone with full confidence, and a red sword energy loomed in his body.

……

Late at night.

Black clouds crossed, covering up a wisp of bright moonlight.

Li Mo was walking alone on the street, thinking about the news revealed by Shi Shibai during the day.

"The Meng family in Naihe City...dragon fish bloodline...there really are dragon bones in this world..."

Li Mo murmured in his heart, if he could obtain the dragon bone and integrate it into the Qingping Sword, the quality of the latter would definitely change dramatically, and it would not be difficult to be promoted to the Innate Saint Weapon.

"Naihe City Meng Family...Meng Family...Arowana!?"

Li Mo was thoughtful, and suddenly, a strange thought and guess came into his mind.

call……

At this moment, a smelly smell hit his face, pulling Li Mo back from his thoughts.

Li Mo looked up and saw a skinny man daring to stand up, with a strong fishy smell exuding from the two broken bamboo baskets at the front and back.

"Isn't this the uncle who sells fish?"

Li Mo covered his nose and saw it at a glance. Looking at the bent pole, it was obvious that the two baskets of dead fish had been smashed into his hands.

"Uncle, are you closing the stall so late?"

Li Mo said hello casually.

The fish seller raised his eyes, glanced at Li Mo coldly, and said nothing. Obviously, today's bad business had put him in no mood to talk to the unsympathetic young man in front of him.

When Li Mo saw this, he just smiled and prepared to return to the inn.

"Little brother, buy a fish... Although they are very peaceful now, they are used to make nests. Maybe they can catch bigger ones."

The fish seller seems to only think about fishing and selling fish.

Li Mo looked at the sallow face and took out a Yuan Jing from his arms and threw it directly to the fish seller.

He had paid a lot from his master Yan Bai, so it was rare for him to be generous now.

"Your fish..." The fish seller took out a dead, belly-up fish from an old bamboo basket and handed it to Li Mo.

"Uncle, you can keep it for making soup." Li Mo waved his hand and walked forward without looking back, gradually disappearing into the cold street.

The fish seller looked indifferently at the direction where Li Mo disappeared, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"The starry sky has suddenly turned into a vast ocean. Who can catch the dragon and the king?"

The fish seller murmured softly, like a murmur in a dream, with a long lasting charm.
