To live in the floods [ floods ]
Chapter 43 A Golden Crow
Shang Qian checked carefully and made sure that there was no one around, then stooped, sneaked into Kunlun Mountain, and headed straight for Qilin Cliff.
When I went out this time, I was really frightened, and it wasn't because of her special defense, she was about to stumble.
The next moment, Shang Qian was held in mid-air by a big transparent hand and quickly headed towards the top of Biyou Mountain. Shang Qian kicked his legs wanting to cry, but when he found that he couldn't resist, he covered it with a broken can face.
I hope those Jiejiao disciples will not see her, Shang Qian whimpered and covered his whole head with his long sleeves.
When he was put down, he was already on the top of the mountain, his face sank like water, and he glared at Shang Qian angrily: "Who is that person?"
"Huh?" Shang Qian tried to play dumb.
Tong Tian was extraordinarily shrewd this time, and didn't take the business of money at all: "Your Red Luan star is happier than the fish jumping in the fish pond in the back mountain!"
Tong Tian paced back and forth with the Qingping sword in his hand, chanting words, his murderous intent grew stronger and stronger.
It must be someone shameless who seduced his direct disciple, Tong Tian can already imagine:
A certain penniless poor kid with a white face relied on a sweet-talking mouth to coax his temper into being prudent, but in terms of emotion, he was as pure as a piece of business money, which attracted her red luan star.
The purpose of the little boy is to be able to hug the saint's thigh, so that Lingbao's countless rich and noble disciples can support him!
"How dare you do that!" The more Tong Tian thought about it, the more he felt angry, and when he raised the Zhuxian Formation with his left hand, he floated out directly, and the murderous aura was almost condensed into substance.
Shang Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she saw at a glance that her master, who was good at compiling stories, had imagined something extraordinary.
"Master calm down, this matter..."
At this moment, the peacock egg that Shang Qian kept in his sleeve suddenly burst into aura, and it floated out directly from the cuff. A small crack on the surface became bigger and bigger, and the surroundings of the egg were colorful, and the aura almost condensed into liquid.
The next moment, a bright yellow bird's beak trembled and slightly pushed open the eggshell, and a gray fluffy ball squeezed out from the eggshell, and began to gnaw on the eggshell under Shang Qian and Tongtian's gaze, eating and eating. While being coquettish to Shangqian Jiujiu.
Silence is now the top of Biyou Mountain.
Tong Tian was furious, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand to criticize the newly hatched peacock, and raised his hand to count.
"What a emperor, he dared to bully my disciple because of that little demon clan's Heavenly Court! He even made bird's eggs!" Without further ado, Tong Tian wanted to bring up the bird's head to see him.
Shang Qian hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! Kong Xuan is the pregnant son of Yuan Feng, and has nothing to do with Di Jun."
Tong Tian's figure who had rushed out suddenly stopped, and then carefully calculated to Kong Xuan, it was really the child left by Yuan Feng who was pregnant.
"Okay." Tong Tian reluctantly stood back, "But I think that Di Jun just has no good intentions. The majestic lord of the heaven can't eat with his busy schedule, yet he still has time to come to Honghuang to look for you every year."
Tong Tian said sourly, he just couldn't see Shang Qian defending Di Jun, and the female college couldn't help him.
He must be able to find a reason. Reluctantly, Tong Tian raised his hand again to make calculations. He already had a plan in his mind. If Di Jun stepped forward with his left foot first before going out, it would mean that he offended the saint. If he stepped with his right foot first, then Also offends the saints.
This is well-founded, not fabricated by him out of thin air.His elder brother, Lao Tzu, is in the habit of stepping with his left foot first, and his second brother is in the habit of stepping with his right foot first. This Emperor Jun dares to deliberately imitate the habit of a saint, it is simply audacious!
I didn't expect this calculation to be really something extraordinary.Tong Tian caressed the handle of Qingping's sword, and asked in a deep voice: "Suddenly there is a third three-legged Golden Crow in this world..."
Shang Qian laughed dryly and did not hide anything: "This indeed has a little relationship with me. I have a mentor-student relationship with this third golden witch after the catastrophe of the Lich."
Tong Tian snorted softly, but also noticed "After the Lich's Calamity", he didn't say anything more because Shang Qian didn't hide it from him.
Shangqian is well versed in the principle of smoothing the hair, and also understands Tongtian's temperament of being soft and not hard.
So he instantly changed into an aggrieved expression, and his eyes quickly filled with tears: "This disciple was tricked by heaven when he went out this time. Although he was lucky enough to escape the trick, he was still very scared inside."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears.
As expected, Tong Tian hurriedly said, "Oh, dear disciple, as a teacher, I'm going to Zixiao Palace to find out the theory of the way of heaven, don't cry."
Saints can talk to Tiandao, heck, at least Tongtian can talk to Tiandao through Hongjun with Hongjun's acquiescence.
Speaking of which, Tiandao actually bothers Tongtian... The main reason is that this guy is not as embarrassing as other saints. If he is really annoyed, he really dares to roll around in Zixiao Palace, but he is still a saint, so he can't be beaten or scolded.
If it weren't for looking at the Wu Clan, it was so useless, and Di Jun had only been close to Shang Qian in recent years, Tiandao would not secretly poke and lightly calculate Shang Qian.
The main thing is that it was discovered and failed.
If Tiandao could take human form, he would definitely be extremely depressed. Tell me why you are so afraid of death and trouble.Generally speaking, touching the Red Luan star lightly is just to tempt both parties. Who knows that such a little weirdness can be discovered by Shangqian, so that Tiandao can only forcefully "pregnant with feelings"...and failed .
Sure enough, now Tongtian was full of anger and went straight to Tiandao. He comforted Shang Qian with a few words, and then he raised his sword and went to "reason" with Tiandao.
Seeing Tong Tian's menacing back leaving, the tears in Shang Qian's eyes disappeared instantly, she hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled contemptuously.
heaven...
Originally, she wasn't so strong in wanting Yaozu to win, but now it's different, even if Yaozu is doomed to lose in the end, she still needs to be more cautious.
Shang Qian took out the mirror from his sleeve, and Di Jun's face appeared on the mirror.
After a little thought, Shang Qian organized the language to speak slowly: "Di Jun, I have an idea..."
Di Jun, who was holding the golden crow's egg and hatching it honestly in the heavenly court, sorted out his thoughts along the way, and added a few words from time to time, his expression gradually changed from solemn to relaxed.
After two full hours, Di Jun nodded slowly and cut off the contact.
Afterwards, Di Jun cut his fingertips, and ten drops of flame-like blood floated out, turning into ten eggs that were exactly the same as the Golden Crow's eggs, with the faint breath of the Golden Crow emanating from them.
The high imitation version of the three-legged golden black egg is finished.
Di Jun put the real three-legged Golden Crow into his arms carefully, and then raised his voice as if nothing had happened: "Send the demon master Kunpeng, I have something important to discuss."
Two heavy voices of promise came from outside the hall.
After burning the incense, Kunpeng hurried into the hall, his eyes involuntarily fixed on the ten fiery red eggs neatly placed on the table.
A terrifying thought arose in his heart, if he sensed these ten eggs correctly, they all had the aura of the three-legged Golden Crow...
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I have to call you here in a hurry today because I have something important to ask." Di Jun smiled heartily, and walked up to pat Kunpeng's shoulder very familiarly, as if he were his closest friend.
It was as if he was not the bird who scolded Shang Qian through the mirror, "Kunpeng, that bastard who is not as good as a fish and a bird, and deserves to be a traitor who both sides don't like".
Di Jun smiled and said, "This is my descendant, the future ten princes of our Heavenly Court."
Sure enough.Even though he had guessed just now, after the identities of these ten eggs were confirmed by Di Jun himself, Kunpeng still couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in his heart.
He couldn't help wondering how the sudden appearance of the ten little Golden Crows would affect the current situation, and who the mother of the ten little Golden Crows was, and if they joined the Yaozu, would it affect the current layout...
"You also know that our Heavenly Court is busy with affairs. I really don't have time to take care of them, and Taiyi is busy with cultivation. I need to trouble the demon master Taoist Kunpeng to help me take them to Sun Star Fusangmu to take care of them." Di Jun said simply. Explain a few words.
Kunpeng was disdainful in his heart, and he knew that only such troublesome things that were thankless would be handed over to him by Di Jun.If Taiyi wants to practice, shouldn't he not?It's just an excuse to let him take care of the baby.
"I don't know who is the demon queen of our Heavenly Court?" Kunpeng seemed to just mention it in passing, but in fact his ears were already pricked up.
Dijun's eyes showed deep pain, his whole body exuded a sense of desolation, and his voice was choked up: "It's all my fault that I suddenly thought of hiding my identity. I met her in the prehistoric and fell in love at first sight. I originally planned to bring her to a higher level, so I took her away. Take it to heaven."
"Who knew that she would have my heir before I revealed my identity, but how can she afford to breed a three-legged Golden Crow with her cultivation level... Sigh, it will last forever, and this hatred will last forever."
Thank him for remembering the sentence that Shang Qian read casually, otherwise I really don't know how to make it up.
Kunpeng suddenly realized, so he wisely stopped mentioning the matter, and carefully carried ten eggs and flew towards the direction of the sun star.
When I met Tai Yi under the Fusang tree, Kunpeng also specially reminded "His Majesty the Demon Emperor is very sad now, and I hope His Highness Donghuang will not mention this." By the way, he placed ten golden black eggs on the Fusang tree.
Taiyi was confused and scratched his head in confusion—why did Kunpeng put his brother's blood on the hibiscus tree?Could it be that he had some new cultivation methods during the thousand years of retreat?
Tai Yi, who had just left the customs after sensing the appearance of the third three-legged Golden Crow, rushed to the Heavenly Court, came up full of confusion and asked, "Brother, did you find me a sister-in-law? Why do you say that this hatred lasts forever? Does sister-in-law have any grudge against you?"
"Brother, you didn't find a witch to be my sister-in-law, did you? Is it Houtu or Xuanming?" Tai Yi was a little worried. If he really found a witch to be the demon queen, would the battle still be fought?
Di Jun: ...
It seems that he should inquire about Shang Qian's educational experience. The topic of the next discussion has been decided, which is "My Illiterate Brother".
In the end it was his biological brother, Di Jun rubbed the center of his brows, and said bluntly: "I lied to him, let's just say that those ten golden black eggs are real."
Di Jun gently took out the real Golden Crow Egg, and signaled Tai Yi to come over and take a look: "This is your real nephew, in order to protect him, we must not let him be exposed in full view."
In an instant, she became more energetic, and leaned over to touch Du Miao's egg again and again, and even offered to propose with great interest: "Brother, why don't I come to hatch the egg, and I can teach him how to practice when he is born."
Di Jun was silent for a moment, and resolutely rejected Tai Yi.
In order to avoid the serious subject of "My Illiterate Cub", Di Jun immediately decided to learn how to trade money, not to let the child lose at the starting line, and to start prenatal education from now on!
"Brother, you still haven't said whether my sister-in-law is from the witch clan. Don't worry, even if you bring back an ancestor witch to be my sister-in-law, as long as you like her, I will recognize her." Tai Yi said again.
He still felt that the "hate" in this endless period of "hate" probably referred to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the greatest enemy of the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Taiyi by the ear and roared: "You don't have a sister-in-law! And from today on, you go and follow Bai Ze to learn our monster culture first!"
"Don't think about being lazy, I will personally supervise your exam in ten years, if you fail the exam, you will repeat the grade for me."
This is still learned from Shang Qian. Shang Qian ran a literacy class on Kunlun Mountain, and Di Jun also got one in Tianting. Unexpectedly, the first student he sent in was his own brother Tai Yi... ...and, based on what Dijun knows about Taiyi, he's likely to be the first student to repeat a grade.
Di Jun sighed, for a moment he couldn't compare whether it was easier to educate his younger brother or destroy the Wu Clan.
When I went out this time, I was really frightened, and it wasn't because of her special defense, she was about to stumble.
The next moment, Shang Qian was held in mid-air by a big transparent hand and quickly headed towards the top of Biyou Mountain. Shang Qian kicked his legs wanting to cry, but when he found that he couldn't resist, he covered it with a broken can face.
I hope those Jiejiao disciples will not see her, Shang Qian whimpered and covered his whole head with his long sleeves.
When he was put down, he was already on the top of the mountain, his face sank like water, and he glared at Shang Qian angrily: "Who is that person?"
"Huh?" Shang Qian tried to play dumb.
Tong Tian was extraordinarily shrewd this time, and didn't take the business of money at all: "Your Red Luan star is happier than the fish jumping in the fish pond in the back mountain!"

Tong Tian was furious, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand to criticize the newly hatched peacock, and raised his hand to count.
"What a emperor, he dared to bully my disciple because of that little demon clan's Heavenly Court! He even made bird's eggs!" Without further ado, Tong Tian wanted to bring up the bird's head to see him.
Shang Qian hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! Kong Xuan is the pregnant son of Yuan Feng, and has nothing to do with Di Jun."
Tong Tian's figure who had rushed out suddenly stopped, and then carefully calculated to Kong Xuan, it was really the child left by Yuan Feng who was pregnant.
"Okay." Tong Tian reluctantly stood back, "But I think that Di Jun just has no good intentions. The majestic lord of the heaven can't eat with his busy schedule, yet he still has time to come to Honghuang to look for you every year."

Originally, she wasn't so strong in wanting Yaozu to win, but now it's different, even if Yaozu is doomed to lose in the end, she still needs to be more cautious.
