The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

"Poshan Town? Isn't that the little guy's hometown?"

"Xi, if you really like this little guy... forget it, you won't listen anyway."

"……I don't understand?"

"Xi, I admit that you are slightly better than me in painting, but in terms of understanding of mortals, even if you and your family are tied together, you are still inferior to me."

"..."

"What's the point of making friends with mortals?"

"Even if I, Zhu Jiuyin, are hunted by all the countries and become enemies of this land, I will never sincerely make a mortal friend!"

……

Time goes back to the present.

Just when Xi was packing up his belongings and preparing to go out to look for the idle Zhu Jiuyin and investigate the prototype of the last explosion portrait, an inn at the foot of Huiqi Mountain welcomed two special guests.

The waiter's expression changed when he saw how the two were dressed and the tokens they showed.

That's Si Suitai's token.

He carefully looked at the few guests on the seats to make sure no one noticed them, and then quickly led the two of them into a private room.

Entering the private room, the waiter saluted the candle bearer on the Sisu Terrace.

"I have met the two adults and have ensured that the fragment named Xi has left Huiqi Mountain."

"... Got it, back off."

One of the more experienced candle holders gave instructions to the waiter, but this aroused confusion from the other who looked younger, like a novice.

Shouldn't the waiter now be asked to provide information about Xi and recent trends, and then discuss how to capture this restless fragment in the next step?

"As ordered."

The waiter understood and left quickly...after all, the business of this inn still had to continue.

The young Zhuzhuren waited until the waiter left before voicing his questions to the senior who had already sat down:

"Senior, shouldn't we hurry up and put that fragment under surveillance again?"

"It's not that easy... That person can use words and ink to confuse reality casually. If he really doesn't want us to find him, we won't be able to find him if the heavenly masters don't take action."

"But then we should at least try hard..."

Seeing that the junior still wanted to argue, the experienced Zhuzhuren sighed helplessly.

He understands the enthusiasm of the younger generation because he was the same way back then.

But sometimes, enthusiasm can't solve the problem.

"The existence named Xi can be regarded as peaceful among the fragments. As long as it does not break the rules and does not excessively affect people's livelihood, we will turn a blind eye."

"what?"

The young Zhuzhuren looked shocked.

I have just arrived, am I about to experience the dark side of Si Suitai?

I have been mentally building up for so long. I even went to the waterfall every day to exercise my courage. I went to the library to carefully study the files about the fragments. At the same time, I imagined several sets of opening remarks in my mind on how to show the majesty of the imperial court in front of the fragments... but you Are you telling me to turn a blind eye?

How could Bi Qi's mother, with such a senior, be able to conscientiously perform the duties of Si Suitai and show off the majesty of Great Yan in front of those wild beasts!

When the experienced candle bearer saw the dissatisfaction on the young candle bearer's face, he had already dismantled the younger man's psychology... because when he first served as the candle bearer, he was like this when he was performing tasks with his seniors. Thought.

'It seems like I have to waste my time again... That's why I don't like bringing in new people. '

The experienced candle bearer complained in his heart.

Chapter 437 Black Snake: Behemoth, I am bound to win!

"Do you know about the flood a few decades ago?"

"That year, the farmers had no harvest, and the people's property was continuously consumed by the heavy rain that lasted for a year."

"Towns and villages within a hundred miles are all suffering from floods. If the imperial court had not responded promptly and the heavenly masters had not done their best, tens of thousands of people would have suffered the hardship of being displaced and may even have been in danger of their lives. .”

"This unusual disaster certainly attracted the attention of the local prefect. The Celestial Masters from the Celestial Master's Mansion worked day and night to explore the cause of the disaster. They used divination techniques, consulted files, and spent several days forgetting to eat and sleep. Finally, they finally We found what was behind the flood."

"Do you know the origin of this behind-the-scenes thing that affects tens of thousands of people's livelihood and contentment?"

"Is it a deliberate plan by the traitor, a threat from a foreign country, or an evil experiment by some obsessive Celestial Master?"

"neither."

"What caused this year-long flood was just a picture drawn by a fragment named Xi on a whim."

"Yes, you heard it right. There is no hidden evil intention, nor is it deliberate. It is just a whim, just like a normal painter who sees a beautiful place and feels blessed, and takes advantage of the inspiration to create as much as he wants."

"The stable lives of tens of thousands of people have been affected."

"Of course the imperial court will not give up. The final winner of the war a thousand years ago was us, Great Yan. How can we swallow our anger?"

"An old heavenly master who was proficient in thunder spells burned through the scroll in a fit of rage, burning everything in front of him. Finally, he caught the fragment who was still obsessed with his own creation but unaware of the consequences."

"At that time, like you, I was also a newcomer to Si Suitai. I was full of passion and felt that the fragment should pay a price...for example, cut off its arms so that it would never be able to touch pen and ink again."

"...But do you know how Si Suitai handled the matter in the end?"

"I just let the old heavenly master scold him and let him shut up and think about his mistakes."

"Yes, the old Heavenly Master who was in charge of the thunder method with the most fiery temper and the strongest personality just burned Xi's scroll, scolded him, and ordered him to shut up and think about his mistakes, but during this process, he still did not dare to directly Attacking Xi...even if the fragment was an unintentional mistake, it still caused a huge blow. If the high officials of the imperial court caused such huge losses to the imperial court, they would never be able to get rid of it easily."

"Do you know why?"

"..."

Facing the questions from their seniors, the juniors' reluctance gradually turned into frustration.

Yes, why?Obviously, according to Si Suitai's internal records, Dayan was the final winner of that war, but why were those agents still able to walk around this land openly and freely?

The young Zhuzhuren has gradually figured it out.

If all the Heavenly Masters of Great Flame really have the power to rival the fragments, then how can they allow the fragments to exist?Why not catch them all in one fell swoop when the fragments are fighting each other?Take them into custody completely?

Instead, they waited until the fragments gradually woke up from the haze, and when they were gradually attracted to the human world, then they began to set rules for them...

Great Yan can consecrate gods.

But only the collective called Dayan has the ability to make the fragments feel fearful.

……

Seeing the emotions on the junior's face ranging from disobedience to understanding to unwillingness, the experienced Zhuzhuren knew that aversion to the fragments was beginning to grow in the young junior's heart.

But that's not possible... As a Zhuzhuren of Si Suitai, one cannot influence the overall situation because of personal opinions.

Not to mention, when this young junior knows too little about the fragments, he makes an arbitrary definition, which is also not what the experienced Zhu Bingren wants to see.

Although the experienced Zhuzhuren often complained about why he was asked to lead this newbie, looking at this passionate junior, he seemed to see his former self.

So although his tone was impatient, he still carefully explained to his juniors:

"I know that you must be dissatisfied with the many privileges obtained by those fragments. The laws of Great Yan seem to be extra merciful to them... But it is actually difficult for us to use the laws of Great Yan to interfere with them. kind of existence."

"Now, some of them have drawn the land as a prison, some have been fighting for the Great Flame for hundreds of years, some have protected one side, and some have single-handedly built a city-state that accommodates hundreds of thousands of people... If we want to liquidate their sins, how should we measure Him? What is their contribution?”

"What's more, liquidation will only make that thousand-year battle happen again. Even if we are strong now and they are weak, not many people want the tragedy of thousands of years ago to be littered with corpses repeated."

"Threats from the sea, demons from the north, and spying from foreign countries... The pressure of Great Yan is never easy."

"We can't be too weak when dealing with them, but we can't be too tough either."

"It is our duty to light candles to drive away the shadows of giant beasts, to patrol to detect the dangers of the country, to drive them away and to deter them."

"So as long as they don't break the rules...then let them be."

……

"...Xi left?"

At the same time, Zhu Jiuyin, who had left Gouwucheng, felt something in his heart and looked in the direction of Hui Qishan.

As a good person who thinks he cares about his friends, Black Snake deliberately eroded some birds and beasts in Huiqi Mountain to act as an informant without attracting the attention of Xi and Si Suitai.

These birds and beasts have been breeding in Huiqi Mountain for several generations.

Black Snake was a little confused.

Because Xi Mingming could leave a piece of Mo body as a fake body like last time, there was no need to make such a big fuss.

As long as those heavenly masters who are holding their breath but refuse to die obediently do not take action, then as long as the fragments don't want to, it will be difficult for Dayan to even grasp their whereabouts.

Not to mention that Xi was a good baby in Dayan's eyes. Since he warned Xi last time, Xi had never caused any trouble, so Si Suitai didn't spend too much energy on Xi.

The Heavenly Masters still have their own responsibilities to do.

Most of the heavenly masters did not really use the Origin Stone to cross a large level of life like the Witch King. They just stubbornly held their breath because they couldn't worry about the Great Flame.

Dayan has a vast territory and a large population. Likewise... the pressure on this country has never been small.

Therefore, extending one's lifespan, something that goes against the will of heaven, has already involved too much energy from the heavenly masters.

'...Are you going to visit relatives and friends, or are you expressing your dissatisfaction with Dayan's surveillance in this way, or are you just wanting to go away to paint on a whim? '

The black snakes were actively discussing in Zhu Jiuyin's mind, and even the outrageous speculation that Lian Xi planned to gather his brothers and sisters and directly go to war with Dayan was raised.

'As much as I want to see what she's going to do... let's forget it. '

The birds and beasts eroded by black snakes in Huiqi Mountain did not try to follow Xi secretly, because it was extremely easy to be discovered.

Xi's powers of observation are quite keen.

It is necessary to grasp the social standards and not to make people unhappy.

Zhu Jiuyin thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to harass Xi, but chose to go to Yumen alone, a city to the north of Dayan.

After all, he still has his own things to do next... something that is best not to be discovered by Xi.

In fact, in recent years, Black Snake has gradually accumulated enough power.

He wanted to try to hunt a giant beast, digest a giant beast, and turn a giant beast into a black snake completely and completely.

Black Snake has actually been preparing for it a long time ago.

Ig once briefly commanded a large group of predators in the deep sea to prey on the giant beasts in the sea, but because the black snake could not fully adapt to the sea heir's body, it only digested part of it.

And the ignorant, easy-to-deceive Yeragond was within easy reach... and the black snake seemed a bit unable to keep his mouth shut.

Even though he knew that this was the most cost-effective option, Yeragond was not wary of him at all. As long as he found an excuse, the black snake would be [-]% sure to deceive Yeragond's body to the Duke of Cosiche. Leader, that city with abnormally strong vitality could easily swallow an unsuspecting behemoth... but the black snake just couldn't take its mouth.

'It must be because Isamara, an unstable factor, is still in the territory! '

'What if swallowing this silly giant beast damages our amazing wisdom? '

After careful consideration, Black Snake finally decided to give up the goal of Yeragund for the time being.

It's just that I can't keep my mouth shut now. Anyway, I have other goals...

Zhu Jiuyin took out the black gourd from his waist, took a swallow, and then casually wiped his mouth with his Taoist robe.

He looked to the north, his eyes seemed to have passed through thousands of rivers and mountains, and fell straight on the mobile city floating above the desert, like a lonely giant. At the same time, he showed a smile and muttered something:

"Raise the incense burner~respect the Buddha~"

"Please come down to all the gods in the cave~"

There are better options anyway.

There are quite a few immortals in this land~

……

At the same time, outside the Jade Gate, a woman with black hair and red eyes, a pair of pointed ears pointing outward, black on the outside and red on the inside, and an indifferent expression was looking coldly at the moving city in front of her.

The base of the mobile city sank into the sand, but the huge turbine driven by Originium technology was running all the time, discharging the yellow sand, removing resistance, and creating yellow waves.

This city does not rely on the mountains as a barrier, but stands on the vast desert, like a lonely giant with no support.

But this only disgusted the woman, who had no discernible racial characteristics.

She murmured to herself in a daze:

"Sui, I came all the way to see you."
