Chapter 109 What if the water prison is blown up again
The Canglang Sea is called the sea, but it is actually not a sea, but a vast black land that reaches as far as the eye can see.
This piece of black land is located at the top of the desolate extreme north. It is covered with snow all year round. There is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter. If you dig up the layer of white snow that never melts all year round, the soil underneath is like burnt black charcoal.
A shovelful of soil can be used directly as ink after being soaked in water.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that although there is no human habitation there, there is still a ghost atmosphere, and it is the kind that can step on hundreds of dead ghosts with one foot.
There are rumors that the reason why the soil there is so black is because the soil there is made of flesh and blood.
There are also rumors that it was one of the main battlefields of the war between gods and demons. Before the war, it was a prosperous and rich city. The people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, without any worries, as if they were living in paradise.
Later, a world-destroying demon beast broke into heaven. From then on, the demon was the master and the humans were slaves. If one day the slave did not agree with the master, he would be skinned and cut into pieces and put on the dining table.
People are dying every day, the smell of blood in the air never dissipates, and heaven becomes hell.
Later, the immortals above the nine heavens finally noticed the anomalies in the mortal world, and a war between gods and demons broke out.
On the day when the World-Destroying Demonic Beast was slaughtered, the entire city was filled with flames. It burned for several days, and the sky turned red.
This number of days, some say it is seven days, some say it is seven or seventy-nine days... there are any number of days.
The only unchanging fact is: after the fire was extinguished, the once prosperous, rich and vibrant city turned into a black land. At night, the wind blew violently, the souls of the dead wailed, and the birds did not dare to fly over the black land.
.
Now Wu Qiongcang said that he was going to such a dangerous place.
As if her butt was burned by the tongue of fire, Shen Qiqi jumped up and changed her expression: "Master, do you have to go?"
The little girl bit her lip and looked at her master eagerly, almost pleading "Can I not go?" written all over her body.
She finally had a master, but she didn't want to become a poor little person with no one to protect her.
Wu Qiongcang didn't know what his little apprentice was thinking. He only saw the panic and worry on his face.
Qiongcang Immortal Lord, who had never straightened his bones, suddenly couldn't help feeling a little emotional at this moment, and looked at the little girl in front of him with hot eyes.
He is indeed the person Bai Hu likes.
Look, the little girl is so affectionate. She only called him Master for a few days and she already cares about him so much.
Wu Qiongcang suddenly felt a sense of happiness in his heart, "It's great to have a disciple."
He rarely sat upright and explained to his young apprentice: "There have been frequent changes in Canglang Sea recently, so I must go and investigate in person."
Then he touched the little apprentice's head and comforted her: "Don't worry, although the place is dangerous, there is nothing you can do about it as a teacher."
Shen Qiqi blinked and thought to herself, since there is no fear of life, why are you so anxious to pass on the mantle to me, Master?
She thought so in her heart and asked the same question. Wu Qiongcang paused and was silent for a long time before replying: "Because I'm afraid that after I go, I won't want to come back again."
His voice was low and his tone was downward. There was no hint of joy or anger, but he gave people an indescribable feeling of sadness.
The whole person is also empty, as if the soul has left the body.
Shen Qiqi looked at him, and a question mark slowly appeared above her head.
What does it mean to be "afraid that you won't want to come back after you go"?
Could it be that Master’s hometown is there?
But even so, it has long since become a deserted ghost den, what is there to miss?
She couldn't help but ask again: "Why did Master say that?"
"Why..." Wu Qiongcang narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on the face of his young apprentice who was eager for knowledge. He was confused for a moment, and his separated soul suddenly magically returned to its place.
He raised his hand and knocked on the little apprentice's forehead, and said angrily: "Why why, why do you have so many whys? Are you bored, or am I too idle?"
"..." How to say this.
Shen Qiqi rubbed the forehead of the innocent person who had been implicated, thinking to herself: Do I just care about you, the old man?
As a result, before she could speak, her shoulders suddenly sank.
She was forced to sit down again.
Wu Qiongcang said: "I will tell you why when I come back as my master."
However, Shen Qiqi could not wait to return to her master after all.
In the first few days, every other day, Wu Qiongcang would use Yinqiao's body to sneak into the water prison and teach Shen Qiqi the skills.
Then every other day became every day.
Later, Wu Qiongcang somehow convinced the twelve elders of Wuji Sect and was allowed to enter and leave the water prison at will, as long as Shen Qiqi was not taken out.
After receiving this license, Wu Qiongcang simply moved his family into a water prison and stuffed things into his little apprentice's head day and night.
In his words: It doesn't matter if you can't digest it all in a moment, just store it in your mind first, and then slowly understand it later.
Shen Qiqi felt like her head had been stuffed a size bigger.
A month passed like this, and on the thirty-first day, Wu Qiongcang suddenly became very anxious, more anxious than ever before, and kept grinding around the island.
The rocks on the island have all had their skin removed by him.
Shen Qiqi opened her eyes from meditating, looked at the slender figure pacing back and forth in the night, pursed her lips, and called, "Master."
"What are you doing?" Wu Qiongcang smelled of fire and medicine as soon as he opened his mouth. When he saw that his little apprentice didn't practice well, he frowned so hard that he could kill a fly and scolded, "A day's plan lies in the morning. If you don't practice well, you will lose your temper." What a fool!"
Shen Qiqi: "...Master, it is already late at night, and the new morning has not yet arrived."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pointed at the stars in the sky above her head.
Wu Qiongcang looked in the direction of her finger and stared blankly at the starry sky for a long time before realizing that another day had passed.
He murmured: "Another day."
It was obviously early in the morning just now.
Shen Qiqi sighed secretly.
Although she didn't know what kind of change happened on the other side of Canglang Sea, she could feel that the change had a great impact on Master.
It is not an exaggeration to describe him as being in the Cao camp but with a heart in the Han Dynasty.
In this case, it is better to let Master go there as soon as possible.
Thinking like this, Shen Qiqi said: "Master, I think I have almost comprehended it."
Wu Qiongcang is staring blankly at the stars in the sky.
Hearing this, he withdrew his eyes and glanced at his young disciple, sneering: "Ignorant boy, the insights accumulated by my master throughout his life have only been passed down to you in just a few days, but you dare to say that you have almost comprehended them... So, then you draw a thunder and fire talisman and show it to me. I don’t force you to actually attract the thunder and fire, just listen to the sound."
A high-grade thunder and fire talisman can attract at least five thunder and fire.
The young apprentice has only been following him for more than a month, so being able to make Yun Lei restless is already considered a gift.
As for letting his little apprentice attract thunder and fire, he didn't dare to think that much.
After saying that, when he saw his young apprentice frowning and looking very embarrassed, Wu Qiongcang said angrily: "Didn't you just say that you have almost reached enlightenment? Now that you have a chance to show off, why are you so timid again?"
"Master, I am not a coward. I am worried that it will cause too much thunder and fire. What if the water prison is blown up again?"
