ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 243 Prophecy
fine……

Du Xinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qinglong said that he had known her for a long time, and he was really afraid that the calf born by the cow would have a face exactly like his own.

Fortunately, it was a face so ordinary that there was nothing memorable about it.

The only thing that could be identified was his gender - although he looked a little shifty, he was still recognizable as a man, not an ordinary baby's face. If it were a normal person, he would have the appearance of a twenty-year-old, with fully grown facial features, and strands of hair wetly draped over his forehead. His eyes were half closed, and his pale lips were slightly open and closed, but no sound came out.

Except for the face, the body is in the shape of a calf.

The surrounding villagers discussed how to deal with him:

"I finally managed to get a baby, but it turned out to be a freak. What should I do? Should I kill the cow too?"

"What the hell is wrong with you! If you dare to touch my cow, I will fight you to the death!"

Other villagers also disagreed with killing the old ox.

In a poor village like theirs, there are only two cows. One is used to pull coal to the market, and the other is for the village chief. In addition to being used during spring ploughing, it is occasionally rented out to others to pull bricks and wood. This is an important asset of the village. Even if the village chief kills his son, he will never agree to kill the cow - after all, he has three sons but only one cow.

"How about... just kill me and pretend you didn't see it?"

"But it has a human face, does it count as murder..."

"I think this is clearly a cow!"

As they were arguing, an unclear, low, hoarse male voice came from Xiao Niu's body.

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

"The Emperor Xuan knocked on the gate of heaven in vain, greedily peeping into the path to immortality, causing the White Jade Capital to open, bringing disaster to the world, and all living beings suffered."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and tilted his head to the left.

A villager stepped forward bravely and shouted after a moment: "He's dead! He's dead!"

Everyone looked happy, but no one was afraid.

Although it is rare for chickens, sheep, dogs and ducks to give birth to deformed babies, it is not completely unheard of. Some time ago, a neighboring village raised a pair of sheep, but they died after a while.

The ominous monster died on its own without them having to do anything. It was truly a blessing in disguise.

The surrounding illusions disappeared and returned to the pitch-black pool of water.

The blue dragon swam slowly in the water, and Du Xinghe looked at it.

"The villagers are happy because they all speak the local dialect of this mountain area and cannot understand Jian's words," Qinglong said. "Jian is a monster with a human face and a cow body. It is born from livestock once every hundred years. When it is born, it will make a prophecy in human language. After the prophecy is finished, it will die immediately and wait for a hundred years to be reborn again."

Du Xinghe was silent for a moment and said, "With such an important prophecy, why didn't you choose to be born in a place where people can understand it?"

"This event did not appear to save the people. Just like the rain and wind from the sky, can you pray to the sky to rain when you are supposed to irrigate your fields every day? The sky is not that convenient."

Qinglong stared at her with a pair of eyes as big as city wall lanterns, and every blink caused undercurrents in the deep pool to surge.

To put it bluntly, the prophecy of this piece is not for saving the world.

It is not an NPC that stays somewhere waiting for the protagonist to take on the mission of saving the world. Throughout its life, the only people who hear its predictions and surround it are illiterate farmers.

Hearing this, Du Xinghe said, "Didn't Lord Long hear it?"

"It was a child who heard the prophecy at that time, learned what it said and sang it everywhere. The underground water flows are all connected, and what the water hears, I can hear too."

The five senses of immortals and demons are different from those of cultivators. The four spirits in the sky are creatures formed by the condensation of nature under the attraction of stars. They can sense things that ordinary cultivators cannot see or hear.

Even Du Xinghe, who is now in the Nascent Soul stage, can occasionally, after meditating and entering a state of concentration, vaguely sense some guidance on future fortune and misfortune that cannot be captured by the naked eye, let alone Qinglong.

"So... I'm not mentioned in it?" Du Xinghe muttered.

She had never thought of killing Emperor Xuan at first. She had overthrown a branch of the Samsara Institute - an evil alchemist who used innocent children to make elixirs. She followed her heart and could not sit idly by. Later, she found out that the Samsara Institute was backed by the Xuan Dynasty. Later, she found out that Emperor Xuan was the culprit behind her family's tragedy. Now the mortal feud had been established and had to be resolved.

She didn't go there to save the world.

She's not that selfless.

"The pieces are twins. The male piece predicts disasters, and the female piece tells you the solution."

"After I heard the prophecy, I have been looking for the other piece."

Qinglong said.

It remembers it very clearly. After all, these few short decades are just a blink of an eye for it.

The name I heard a blink of an eye ago, and in the blink of an eye, it found itself in front of me.

……

It was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The moon, as big as a silver plate, made the sea as bright as day. There were no dark clouds in the sky, but there were muffled thunders. The wind was not strong, but the waves kept hitting the rocks. The young helmsmen became puzzled.

Normally, the sea should be the calmest on this windless night, so why are the waves so raging tonight?
The ship owner, the chief steward and the deputy helmsman, who had more sailing experience, had gloomy faces.

The waves were high, but there was no wind on the sea.

Prove that the source of the waves is not on the sea surface, but in the invisible but real...

Under the sea.

After the memory of the child who sang this prophecy, Qinglong has been looking for the location of the female part. It must race against time to find it, as the life of the part from birth to death is as short as a flower. Fortunately, the four spirits in the sky are very considerate of it. Xuanwu, who is the best at divination, accompanies it to move the stars, and in the spider-web-like variety of futures, they find the approximate location of the female part.

But the result of the divination left Qinglong dumbfounded.

How could it be above the sea?

There has never been a precedent of someone being born in the sea clan!
Qinglong's anxiety affected the celestial phenomena. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and its huge body swam under the sea, creating waves that were one level higher than the other.

It was a very weak monster, and its demonic aura was so weak that it could be almost ignored.

At this moment, Qinglong actually hoped that it could be stronger.

It is not easy to find a drop of water in the ocean.

The anger of the Blue Dragon brought terrible weather. The ship was pushed forward by the waves. The white waves washed the deck. A young crew member was swept into the waves. No one could help him. The noise made by a living person being swept away by the waves was no louder than that of a fish.

The terrified crew members had no time to grieve for their companions who were swept away. They tried their best to save themselves and prayed that the ship would not capsize.

Suddenly, a huge creature emerged from the bottom of the dark water.

Before I could take a closer look, the crew member who was swept away by the waves was thrown back onto the ship, still breathing.

"Lord Dragon, please calm down! It's not easy to conquer the sea. I will definitely offer you three animals later. Please stop using your magical powers!"

"Your Majesty, King Guangde of the East Sea! I'll give you 30% of the profit from this ship's cargo as a token of my gratitude. I only ask for a way to survive - Yaban! And throw a live chicken down there!"

When the crew heard the ship owner's order and saw that the ship was more stable, they rushed into the cabin to look for offerings.

Raising livestock on ships is a very normal thing, both in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad.

It is used for both eating and drinking.

Like vegetables and fresh water, they are marine resources that must be replenished every time you stop at the shore.

Soon, the crew came out with a live chicken and looked at Qinglong flatteringly: "Lord Dragon King, the sheep on the ship are about to give birth. If you like, we will give them all to you."
