I am the Dragon King of the Well
Chapter 228
Chapter 228
Qiu Ping was kicked out by Judge Cui from the Yamen of the Tiju Division in despair.
The destructive power of the Jade Ax is too inexplicable. If he is allowed to strike the ax here and there, the entire city will be demolished by him.
"It's such a good baby!"
Little Loach held the jade ax in his hand, like a naughty boy who got a bamboo pole.
With a stick in hand, no rapeseed field is innocent anymore.
It happened that his [Dragon Pass] was next to the Ninth Transit Division, and he entered the Abi Hell within a short time.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest niece? She has already been promoted to the Holy Child. No, among you fairy sects, she should be called the Holy Infant." What a coincidence, Qiu Ping just came to the treasure ship elevator and saw it. Cao Ying.
Perhaps it was the effect of the last bottle of [Zeng Yuan San], he found that Cao Ying's realm had broken through.
Most of the routes of these human practitioners are consistent with the realm of Yaoxiandao. To be precise, the essence of Yaoxiandao's practice is to imitate the breathing method of human beings.
"I saw my uncle."
When Cao Ying saw that it was Qiu Ping, she hurried up to greet her. The last siege conference ended, and she gained thousands of points and exchanged some more resources. Finally, she broke the last hurdle and successfully entered the realm of the Holy Infant.
To be able to reach this step at her age, although not as good as those many monsters, is still considered a pretty good genius.
"Ah, sister Cao's uncle, he was so cute."
Qiu Ping was going to put on a picture of the elders, but suddenly he heard a few women who were traveling with Cao Ying laughing and joking aside, causing Little Niachan to flee.
Listen, do people speak?
On the contrary, Cao Ying's face turned pale, for fear that these people's jokes would go too far and make Little Niqiu angry.
Even though his name is Qiu Ping, his personality is not peaceful at all. After all, he is nicknamed "Blood Hand Rentu", so how can he be a soft-hearted person.
Qiu Ping won't argue with others because of this, but if anyone dares to mention the name "Blood Hand Rentu" in front of him, he will keep jumping with you, and may even jump up and hit you on the head.
After wandering around and watching Cao Ying and others leave, Qiu Pingcai took out the treasure boat and planned to go to the depths of Abi Hell.
But at this time, he suddenly realized that his Huangquantai had been given to Taishi God!
Without the help of countless gods to help him sail together, and he himself did not comprehend the supernatural power of distraction, the treasure ship ran into several ships of other forces before sailing for a mile.
If this piece of land was not under his command, and if those loach soldiers were not all his younger brothers, he would be arrested and questioned now.
At least one responsibility for the traffic accident cannot escape.
"Ugh!"
Little Loach sighed and had to put away the treasure boat.I really don't have any talent in the cultivation of spiritual thoughts, so what should I do when I travel in the future.
After squatting in a circle, I didn't wait for the treasure boat of an acquaintance to pass by. I knew that I would rub Cao Ying's treasure boat just now.
There was no other way, so the little loach had no choice but to hold the jade axe, and his figure turned into phantoms, and quickly shuttled forward in the space.
It seems that he must quickly comprehend a few magical powers of long-distance space transmission, otherwise it will be inconvenient to travel in the future.
……
"There are more and more outsiders. They have invaded our world, built stone cities everywhere, and kept squeezing our land!"
In the crevice of a mountain range, gloomy mist filled the air, and the crevice seemed to extend to the depths of the earth.
More than a dozen skinny figures, carefully concealed by the mist, looked up at the treasure ships passing by in the sky from time to time.
There are also aborigines in Avici Hell, and some time ago they joined forces with Buddhism to seek Avici Hell together.It's just that Qiu Ping's Huangquantai broke their blockade and gave King Mingling an opportunity to take advantage of it, which made their plan come to nothing.
Although King Mingling did not kill them all after Abi World was occupied by outsiders, they could still feel the fiery will everywhere in the void, and only hiding in the ground could give them a little sense of security.
"Elder, I'm hungry!"
Behind this group of figures, followed by a few unkempt little ones.
They looked at the treasure ship flying past in the sky one by one, their eyes almost glowing green.Living underground, with food shortages, life is almost wringing out of bitterness.
"Don't spread divine thoughts, those outsiders are very fierce."
An elderly figure covered the tentacles on the young child's head and made a "silence" movement. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes looking up at the sky.
Those outsiders control strange treasures and can release ferocious spells. They are not opponents at all.
If they find out, they will be killed.
With their strength, they can only deal with some weak prey.
"Lilo, lilo... blah... the king told me... to kill people."
Just after the treasure ships flew by, a small black loach flew across the sky carelessly.
Looking at the black loach in the sky, all the figures froze for a moment.
Could it be that the ancestors appeared?Why is there still food flying in the sky?Could it be the big black fish that fell from some ship?
"Elder, I'm hungry!"
A young figure looked at the sky and swallowed several times.
"No noise, no noise, we can definitely eat enough today...Hey, that fish fell, get ready to catch it!"
The hunger in the eyes of all the figures is even worse, fish!Looks fresh and plump fish!
"Hey, I didn't expect to see aborigines here, how are you guys?"
Qiu Ping swam down from the sky. He looked at the dozen or so skinny figures, old and young, tall and short, but wearing simple animal skins, and he was suddenly curious.
Because there is no sound in Abi Hell, Qiu Ping also tried to communicate with them with his spiritual thoughts.
The number of aborigines in Avici Hell is not large, and the races are also different.
The race in front of them has a slender and thin body, a long neck, and a thin head. Coupled with green vertical pupils, it looks like an imperfect snake.
There are two tentacles on each person's head, shaking from time to time, which looks quite playful.
Qiu Ping was used to seeing many little monsters with weird shapes in Fuhe, and he didn't think how ugly these people were.
"The fish in the outside world are so smart? Can they still communicate with people?"
These dozens of figures looked at each other, the tentacles on their foreheads trembled, and the communication was completed in an instant.
"Oh, what are you doing, don't make trouble."
Qiu Ping flicked the fish fin with some disgust, what is going on with these races in hell, children have no education at all, how can they grab my fish fin and put it in their mouth, is it dirty?
The toddler quickly leaned up again, his face was almost on Qiu Ping's body.
His tentacles kept shaking, and he swallowed his saliva one after another.
"Why does it feel like a bunch of idiots..."
Qiu Ping looked at these people, and tried to say hello to them again.
Little Niqiu's thoughts at this moment are like a young man in an eighteenth-tier county who suddenly sees a group of foreigners, and he feels very fresh.
But besides being fresh, he couldn't help feeling that this group of people didn't seem to be very intelligent.
He communicated with the other party several times, but he never got a response. Instead, the group of people gathered around him, touching and drooling, and a kid came up and wanted to lick him.
"Go...go... this way!"
The toddler's tentacles flicked, and an invisible spiritual power echoed in Qiu Ping's thinking.
While speaking, he also pulled Qiu Ping's fins and dragged him into the crevice of the mountain.
"So hospitable... I didn't bring any presents here."
Qiu Ping was a little embarrassed. He never thought that Abi Hell, a place full of evil and plagues, could raise such a group of simple and honest aborigines.
"Okay, I'm so enthusiastic, so I can't refuse. But it's okay, just eat some simple food, and you must not be extravagant."
Qiu Ping communicated with the group of people again with his spiritual thoughts, but the group of people still ignored him, just pushed him and pushed him into the crevice of the mountain.
The inside of the mountain crevice is twists and turns, and can only accommodate one person to pass through, but the little loach has an exquisite grasp of the space, and its figure can walk freely in the mountain crevice.
However, the deeper one went, the thicker the black mist that filled the air became.
Fortunately, there was no toxicity in the mist, and it couldn't affect the little loach's sight, so he didn't take it too seriously.
"No matter how much you chant scriptures in Avici Hell, it's still written by human beings."
Qiu Ping was walking in the crevice of the mountain, but suddenly saw a thin book on the ground, he picked it up conveniently, but found that it was a Buddhist scripture.
He flipped through it, and there was also the method of Buddhist practice in it. Being able to practice all the way to the realm of [Mage] is about equal to the realm of [Original Body] in the way of monsters.
Although he couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent Qiu Ping from knowing that this book was valuable.
It's just that he doesn't understand why Buddhist books appear here.
As the mountain fissure came to an end, the scene in front of me suddenly became wider, and inside was a huge cave, and the wet water vapor fell drop by drop, making the place quite chilly.
In this cave, there are still hundreds of people living. Their appearance is similar to the people who just went out, but half of them can still be seen as females from their physical characteristics.
"Look, everyone, we caught a big fish today!"
The toddler bounced and walked in the front, and the tentacles on his forehead flicked. This way of transmitting information unique to their race quickly spread his thoughts to all the same race present.
Only Little Loach scratched his head, completely unaware of what the group of people were talking about.
Seeing a group of people gathering towards him made him a little embarrassed.
When he was in the yamen, he had never received such attention.
It's just that these people always like to touch him, which makes Little Loach a little distressed.
"Hey, why do you still have so many Buddhist treasures here?" In order to get rid of the embarrassment, Qiu Ping took two steps forward and saw a lot of magic weapons in a mess on the ground.
He picked up a vajra and poured a little mana power into it, suddenly the vajra lighted up, then dimmed again.
Qiu Ping didn't have Buddhist mana, so naturally he couldn't drive the vajra, but he was sure that the magic weapon was intact and could still be used.
"It's a pity, I don't practice the "Eight-Armed Mahā Dharma Seal" now, otherwise, with these magic tools, it is enough for me to raise this skill to the top." Qiu Ping put down the vajra with some reluctance .
He had already practiced the "Eight-Armed Mahā Dharma Seal" to almost the third level, but changed the space foundation when he stepped into the "Holy Embryo", and this Buddhist combat skill was also abolished.
"Quickly... get ready to set up the stove."
An old man didn't care when he saw the little loach playing with the trash in the cave.It seems that it is really a stupid fish, it is in a catastrophe, and it is still muddleheaded.
He issued an order to the people watching, and soon a huge furnace was erected.
It is said to be a stove, but it is actually more like a bowl. Because of its huge size, it can be used to cook food.
The water vapor in the entire cave gathered and turned into a trickle, filling most of the bowl in a blink of an eye.
And illusory flames appeared on the four walls of the bowl, and the water inside was quickly heated to the point of scalding.
"Go in... go in."
The young boy on the side pushed Qiu Ping behind him, the tentacles on his head kept shaking, as if he was urging him.
"You have to take a bath first? What a strange custom."
Little Niqiu looked at the dirty appearance of everyone, and suddenly couldn't hold back.
Good fellows, all of you are sloppy, but you are the first to command me.
Forget it, do as the Romans do.
The little loach happily jumped into the big bowl, and the water cup in the bowl was boiling hot, but for Qiu Ping, this temperature was enough for him to take a hot bath.
He buried his whole body in the water, the hot, warm water made his tiredness from flying in Avici Hell disappear.
"It's so comfortable."
The little loach turned over, turned its belly up, flicked its tail, and swam in a comfortable backstroke.
"This fish has turned its stomach, we can add more seasonings." The young boy who had been squatting beside the pot and stove saw Qiu Ping's movements, and immediately flicked his tentacles happily.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it needs to be stewed for a while."
The old man had more experience, so he could tell that the vitality of this fish was quite strong.
But the more vitality it has, the better it tastes.
Little Loach didn't know what the group of people were talking about, he just cared about swimming happily.
"Why are there still words here? It's the words of the world again."
Qiu Ping was taking a comfortable bath, when he raised his head, he saw countless densely packed small characters written on the inside of the big bowl.
"Kanasumi is also busy, who knows that the sea swallows a feather..."
Little Loach turned his body over again, and read the text along the way.
This turned out to be another method of Buddhism, but it recorded methods related to space.Although the writing is relatively profound, Qiu Ping vaguely touched something, and couldn't help but indulge in it.
"Ha! Well, now we can put the seasoning."
Seeing that the movement in the pot had subsided, the old man slapped his hands and said joyfully.
I want to eat loach
(End of this chapter)
Qiu Ping was kicked out by Judge Cui from the Yamen of the Tiju Division in despair.
The destructive power of the Jade Ax is too inexplicable. If he is allowed to strike the ax here and there, the entire city will be demolished by him.
"It's such a good baby!"
