Chapter 80 – Hot Potato! (3k)
“I’ve realized that no matter what, as long as it’s related to your Zhao clan, it will always run off the rails at the end of the day!”
Leaving the monument forest, Zhao Yi and his group were guided by Zuo Xiaoluo and quickly found the forbidden place that trapped the Myriad Sound Realist.
Zhao Yi was prepared to break the forbidden system directly, but Realist Miao Yin said that the hour was not up, and that it was only good to break the formation at three minutes past noon.
Zhao Yi and the others could only wait outside.
After listening to Zhao Yi’s encounters during this period of time, and then seeing the Divine Beast Taotie, who stood without standing, sat without sitting, and yelled like the landlord’s lapdogs, the corner of his mouth jerked a bit, and then he said the above sentence.
The lunatics of Old Zhao’s family always had the ability to change the originally serious style of painting into a weird and clear one.
Zhao Yi’s face didn’t look good either.
This failed experience of collecting pets had reminded him of some unpleasant past events.
It was one night not too long ago when Zhao Yi completed a life leap.
But it was Yao Qing who had the upper hand in the whole scene.
At the end of the day.
Zhao Yi could no longer tell whether she was the aggressor or the victim!
The same goes for the street slicker beast in front of her.
Zhao Yi looked at Taotie and was speechless in his heart.
Zhao Yi could no longer tell the difference.
Whether it was him who had tormented Taotie, or Taotie who had disgusted him!
The Myriad Voice Realist was also speechless for a while.
After pondering for a while, she said, ”The ancient books in the Guan Li do not have any records related to what you encountered this time, the Taotie’s reincarnation. In past records, taotie mostly hatched from eggs and eggs, and the recorders of a few ancient books had even seen taotie being born with their own eyes.”
Zhao Yi asked, “Then what’s the situation with this fellow now?”
Instead of answering, Miaoyin Zhenren asked, “You said before that you sensed something inside the hall, but Zuo Xiaoluo said that the door to the hall was fake and that behind the door was a mountain?”
Zhao Yi nodded, “Indeed.”
Zhao Yi grew up with Miaoyin Zhenran, and Miaoyin Zhenran could be said to be the person he trusted the most.
After encountering a difficult problem, his first thought would always be to seek out Miaoyin Makoto for help.
Myriad Sound Realist pondered for a moment and said, ”According to what you used to say, that General Zuo Luo of ours is a complete love brain, she hates to grow on you with her heart, so she definitely won’t lie. So, she should really not have sensed something!”
After finishing her sentence, Miaoyin Realist asked Zhao Yi, “Are you sure you didn’t sense anything wrong?”
Zhao Yi said with certainty, “Absolutely right!”
Realist Myriad Voice nodded and didn’t say anything else.
Zhao Yi’s ability to pick up money when he went out was something she had seen since she was a child and had seen too many bizarre things, and Miaoyin Zhenren had already seen it all.
Since Zhao Yi said that he sensed something inside the great hall, that something was definitely not trivial!
After thinking for a while, Miaoyin Zhenran suddenly said, “I have a bold guess!”
“What?” Zhao Yi asked.
The Myriad Voice Realist said, “According to what you said, Taotie’s gestation method this time is indeed odd; in the past, it was only used as a sacrificial ritual to open the gate, but now it’s being used as a tool for transmutation.”
Zhao Yi asked, “What can this mean?”
“It means that it’s in danger!” Myriad Sound Realist’s eyes burned.
“All creatures have the instinct to avoid evil, and Taotie is no exception!”
“According to previous ancient records, the best way for a Taotie to reincarnate is to hatch from an egg.”
“Nowadays, it has given up the best conditions and instead chose to transform directly in a sacrificial ceremony, and you guys have never entered inside the great hall from start to finish!”
“Therefore, I guess that the Taotie’s great hall should have been overrun by something, and the Taotie was driven out by that thing, so it could only possess itself in the inscriptions on the gate.”
“When that woman called Linglong designed for that little monk to make a sacrifice to activate the inscription, the Taotie’s will was awakened, and so it was directly birthed and reincarnated!”
After hearing this, Zhao Yi nodded slightly, “Although your guess is bold, it does have a few points of truth. This would also explain why I can sense the existence of that thing, but Zuo Xiaoluo sensed a mountain.”
Saying this, Zhao Yi looked at Miaoyin Zhenren and said, “That thing inside the great hall shields the outside world from perception, if I didn’t have a special sense for treasures, I probably wouldn’t have been able to discover its existence either.”
The Myriad Voice Realist nodded, “That’s right, that’s what I thought as well.”
Zhao Yi suddenly looked towards Taotie, who was preparing to cut his chest meat for a hot pot in the distance, and asked Myriad Voice Realist, “Should we ask Taotie, it might know where that thing came from!”
The Myriad Voice Realist shook his head, “It’s useless to ask it! According to ancient records, every time Taotie is reincarnated, it loses all of its memories and only some particularly impressive memory fragments are passed down. If you ask it now, it definitely won’t be able to answer anything!”
Zhao Yi’s eyes were deep as he looked at Taotie and said in a low voice, “What should we do with that thing, kill it directly?”
Kill it?
Miaoyin Zhenren looked at Zhao Yi with some surprise and asked doubtfully, “Aren’t you a favorite collector of strange and bizarre things? Taotie is an ancient divine beast, if you raise one and bring it with you, how ostentatious when you go out!”
Zhao Yi shook his head and said with a grave expression, “I have a premonition that this Taotie is an ominous object, if I bring it with me, it will definitely backfire on me!”
“It’s not that serious, is it?” Miaoyin Zhenren’s face showed doubt.
“Although the Taotie is a vicious beast with a greedy and cunning nature, in Shengjing City, even if you give it ten guts, it wouldn’t dare to act recklessly!”
“I think that in the Taotie’s inheritance fragment, there should be memories of when the previous generation of Taotie died. That scene makes me feel uncomfortable just reading the ancient descriptions, and I’m sure Taotie won’t be able to forget it.”
“Unless it wants to try that experience again, it wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in Shengjing City even if it had ten guts!”
Zhao Yi still shook his head.
He looked solemn and said solemnly, “I’m not talking about safety, but about my reputation!”
Zhao Yi’s eyelids jumped hard as he looked at the Taotie in the distance, who had jumped straight into the pot and was preparing to stew himself in the hot pot.
“I have an ominous premonition!”
“If that thing stays with me, sooner or later I’ll lose my reputation!”
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he looked towards Realist Miao Yin with a hopeful expression, “Haven’t you always wanted to hit on those exotic beasts in my hands? I’ll give you this Taotie, take it away!”
The corner of Realist Myriad Voice’s mouth twitched viciously.
“Immeasurable Heavenly Father!”
She called out a dao name under her breath and said in a dignified and precious manner, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, don’t tease with the poor Taoist! Taotie is an ancient divine beast that cannot be obtained by those who do not have a destiny. The Crown Prince is the royal family’s orthodoxy, and should be subjected to the use of this divine beast?”
“You guys still talk about orthodoxy?” Zhao Yi almost laughed in anger.
“Father hasn’t even abdicated yet, and you guys just gave me the crown prince and the succession edict directly.”
“On a rainy day like that, you had to force the old supervisor of the Si Tian Supervisor to see the Violet Star move.”
“The emperor hasn’t even died yet, and the Violet Star moved first, and now you’re talking to me about royal orthodoxy?”
Myriad Sound real person face does not change color, a hand holding floating dust, while reciting words, looks precious solemn, really has a school of the way to the highlander’s demeanor.
Zhao Yi is afraid of being ruined by that Taotie’s reputation, is Xuanzhen Guan not afraid?
Anyway, she is determined, dead not loose lips.
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes in anger.
He turned his eyes and suddenly lowered his voice, “What do you say, how about we throw it away halfway?”
“Immeasurable Heavenly Father!”
The Myriad Sound Realist glanced down at Zhao Yi and said in a compassionate manner, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, you mustn’t! This beast is ferocious and murderous, and it feeds on humans! If you abandon it at will and leave it unattended, I’m afraid it’ll cause no small calamity, Your Highness think twice!”
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, looked at Myriad Sound Realist, and made a neck-wiping motion.
The Myriad Sound Realist didn’t even look at him this time.
No matter if that Taotie was no longer in a bad shape, it was still a legendary divine beast.
This kind of beast usually had qi luck on its side.
Let’s not talk about whether it could be killed or not, and how much it would cost.
Just the backlash from killing a foreign beast with great qi luck was not something that an ordinary person could afford!
Do you really think that there is no heavenly punishment in this world?
Realist Miao Yin looked at Zhao Yi and solemnly reminded him:
“After observing and researching for so many years, the Xuan Zhen Guan and the Sovereign’s House have summarized some of the keys to breaking through the 10th Order Return to Void Realm, and the most important of them are the Qi Luck and Karmic Obstacles!”
“Qi luck is vague and inconclusive.”
“As for karmic obstacles, the simplest thing is to make fewer killings and not get involved in karma. Remember that!”
Zhao Yi nodded with a solemn expression as he listened to Realist Miao Yin’s solemn words.
“I’ll keep it in mind!”
After saying that, he sighed again.
This hot potato, you won’t be able to get rid of it for a while ah!
Looking at Taotie, Zhao Yi suddenly began to miss Su Shanshan.
Although Su Shanshan was just like Taotie, she would only cause him trouble.
But Su Shanshan has one good point.
That is, when he doesn’t need Zhao Yi, he absolutely guarantees that Zhao Yi won’t be able to find him!
Unlike this Taotie in front of me.
It’s like a bag of tricks.
Zhao Yi had never seen a demonic beast with a stronger presence than it!
Zhao Yi remembered the scene from before where he deliberately designed to disgust Su Shanshan.
He didn’t expect Taotie to return it to him even a little bit.
Retribution!
Zhao Yi was just thinking about it when he saw Taotie come over with a large bowl in his two front paws.
Taotie raised the bowl in front of Zhao Yi and said as if offering a treasure: “Master, try this hot pot soup, I boiled it myself, it tastes absolutely delicious!!!”
Zhao Yi looked at the bowl of blackish soup, and the corner of his mouth twitched viciously.
God damn boiled his own soup.
Isn’t it just this bastard’s bath water?
Zhao Yi suspected that Taotie was deliberately disgusting himself, and he had proof!
Zhao Yi took a deep breath and tried to restrain his emotions.
With a hint of a smile on his face, he solemnly said, “Brother Taotie, you’re an Ancient Divine Beast, and I’m just an ordinary mortal. If you don’t mind, you and I can just be on equal footing, don’t ever call me master, I can’t afford it!”
Taotie acted as if he didn’t understand, pug-like, his two paws cupped the black soup, and one by one, Zhao Yi drank it.
