Peach Blossom Island.
After struggling all night.
Li Ziye was a little tired.
After all, no matter how good your body is, it can't handle it even if you don't rest for a night.
But, how could Ban Yue let Li Gouzi go?
"Sister, I really can't do it anymore!" Li Gouzi struggled.
"You have to do it even if you don't, hurry up!" Ban Bianyue forced.
"I've been working hard all night. Let me rest for a while. I can't exhaust myself to death!" Li Gouzi struggled again.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, and rest after you're done!" Ban Yue refused to give up.
In the south courtyard, a woman and a dog were fighting. In the end, the woman defeated the dog.
If you want to become the high priest of the Baiyue Clan, you must be approved by the four elders.
After dealing with Luo Luo, who she thought was the easiest to talk to, but was actually not easy to get along with at all, Ban Bianyue took Li Gouzi to the south courtyard.
Speaking of the elders of the South Campus, I am afraid I can only use one word to describe them.
Difficult.
Very difficult to do.
Not only is he older and senior, he is also stubborn.
The South Courtyard, on Peach Blossom Island, is basically a place where strangers are not allowed to enter.
Even the dogs on Peach Blossom Island don’t want to come.
Li Gouzi had heard about this for a long time, and of course he didn't want to come.
Moreover, it was after being struck by lightning from Chilei Mountain last night.
My whole body hurts and I just want to sleep.
However, Ban Yue, who knew that time was tight, directly brought Li Gouzi over.
Before the next full moon night, the four elders may not be settled, and I'm afraid we will have to wait another month.
If she hadn't made good friends with Luo Luo, based on this guy's performance, he probably wouldn't have been able to pass the first level.
Speaking of which, shouldn't the destined son be a genius like Yan Xiaoyu, Sanzang, or the fourth prince of Dashang?
Why did you choose this guy?
After dragging and pulling, Ban Yue finally pulled Li Gouzi to the south courtyard.
"Little guy, Elder Nan Lie has a very bad temper. You must not talk nonsense."
In front of the south courtyard, Ban Bianyue repeatedly warned.
After spending these days together, she was deeply touched by this guy's mouth.
She really wanted to say that if she didn't want the mouth, she could donate it or sew it up with needle and thread.
In decades of living, she had never seen such a damaged mouth.
It can make people angry to death.
"Know it."
Li Ziye responded nonchalantly.
Seeing this, Ban Yue became even more uneasy and warned, "You'd better stop talking. As long as Elder Nan Lie doesn't ask you anything, don't say a word. Sister, I will take care of everything. Do you hear me?"
"oh."
Li Ziye responded casually. He felt a little sleepy and yawned several times. He was so tired and wanted to sleep.
Ban Bianyue was so angry, but she couldn't really do anything to this kid. She could only resist the urge to beat him up and do business first.
The two entered the south courtyard.
In the courtyard.
There is an old man.
At first glance, he knew that he was an old man who was not easy to mess with.
His messy hair was an indescribable dark red color, even his beard was the same, and his clothes were in tatters. No one would suspect that he was a beggar.
"Bang!"
The moment the two entered the yard, the hammer in the old man's hand made a huge noise.
The flames rose in the furnace, the hammer hit the ironware, and sparks flew everywhere.
The old man is one of the four elders of Peach Blossom Island, Nan Lie, a blacksmith.
Famous blacksmith.
At least, he is famous on Peach Blossom Island.
Li Ziye was startled by the huge movement, and the little sleepiness he felt just now disappeared completely in an instant.
"I've met Elder Nan Lie."
Ban Yue looked at the old man in front of the stove and saluted respectfully.
Behind him, Li Ziye followed suit and saluted.
"Xiao Liyue."
Nan Lie looked up, saw the person coming, smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to take Mr. Li San to visit Elder Nan Lie."
Ban Bianyue said respectfully.
"Is he the candidate for the next high priest as the high priest said?"
When Nan Lie heard this, he moved his eyes, looked up and down at the young man in front of him, and said with admiration, "Sure enough, he is a talented person."
Li Ziye was startled, this old man has good eyesight!
It's not like Sister Banbianyue said, with a messed up personality. He thinks it's very cute!
Very honest! The styling...the styling is also very handsome and stylish!
Li Ziye felt a sense of regret for meeting him late. Looking at him, he was indeed an elder-level figure, and he had good vision.
"Elder Nan Lie is overly praised, and the younger generation is frightened."
Li Ziye saluted again seriously to show humility and courtesy.
Never thought about it.
Nan Lie, who had greeted him with a smile just now, smiled coldly, his tone changed instantly, and he smiled softly and said, "It's okay to be scared. It seems that you still have some self-awareness. I don't know if that piece of shit is out of your mind." The problem is, why did you choose a person who has no access to the eight meridians to be the son of destiny? Now it’s great, and you have to take advantage of my White Moon Divine Stone on Peach Blossom Island.”
"..."
Li Ziye's body trembled, and anger rose in his heart.
Beside, Ban Yue felt something, and his expression suddenly changed.
not good!
"Damn old man, are you out of your mind? Whether I am the son of destiny is none of your business, am I eating your rice?"
Adhering to the principle of never losing money, Li Ziye immediately spit out the fragrance and sprayed it back.
This bad old man has a really disgusting personality. No wonder he even dislikes the dogs on Peach Blossom Island. Also, what kind of bad look is this? Has his head been hit by a cannonball?
Li Ziye's truth is never mixed with any moisture.
"Boy, how dare you talk to me like this!"
When Nan Lie heard the disrespectful words of the young man in front of him, he was furious. His face suddenly turned red with anger. He blew his beard and glared and cursed, "Believe it or not, I will kill you with a hammer!"
"I'm afraid you won't make it!"
Li Ziye showed no sign of weakness at all, widened his eyes and said angrily, "Come on, don't rely on your age to act like you are old. At such an old age, you can't speak with any virtue, and you are not afraid of being unlucky in your old age and being hairy!"
"Full of hair?"
Nan Lie looked stunned and didn't understand.
What's the meaning?
Nan Lie subconsciously looked at Liyue on the side, his eyes full of inquiry.
Seeing Elder Nan Lie's gaze, Ban Bianyue recovered from her panic, hurriedly pulled the boy next to her, and scolded in a low voice, "Little guy, are you crazy? If you anger Elder Nan Lie, he will If I don’t agree with you as a candidate to be the next high priest, you won’t get the sacred stone!”
Li Ziye's face was shocked. Damn it, how could he forget this?
This old man cannot be offended!
"Elder Nan Lie."
Li Ziye immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Being hairy means that you have good luck in your later years and have attained the great truth."
"Ah."
Hearing this, Nan Lie sneered and said, "Then I also wish you bad luck in your old age and be hairy all over your body!"
"..."
Li Ziye clutched his chest, feeling so angry that he had internal injuries, and he tried to hold back from spitting out blood.
So irritating, so irritating!
He can only be criticized and cannot retaliate. Is this still Li Tianjiao who is the most verbal?
Next to her, Ban Bianyue saw that the fighting between the two was escalating, and hurriedly advised, "Elder Nan Lie, Xiao Ziye doesn't have any ill intentions, but he is a bit more outspoken. Your Excellency has a lot, so don't argue so much with a junior like him."
"It's okay not to care, just apologize!"
Nan Lie raised his head, looked at the person through his nostrils, and said arrogantly.
Li Ziye clenched his fists tightly, feeling so aggrieved!
"brat!"
Ban Yue pulled the boy next to her hard and glared, "Hurry up!"
Li Ziye took several deep breaths in succession, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said through gritted teeth, "Yes! No! Get up!"
It shouldn't be like this!
how so!
Li Gouzi shed tears of humiliation in his heart.
This is not the result he wants.
The villain bullies the protagonist. At this stage, isn't it the protagonist's turn to fight back and slap him in the face?
Why was he the one who apologized and was slapped in the face!
The promised son of destiny!
"Elder Nan Lie."
After Li Gouzi apologized, Ban Yue immediately continued to say good things with a smile on his face and said, "Look, Xiao Ziye also knows that he was wrong, so just forgive him."
"Um……"
Nan Lie pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, for your sake, Xiao Liyue, I will forgive him this time, but."
At this point, Nan Lie paused again and said, "If he wants to get my approval, he has to do one thing for me."
"What's up?"
Ban Yue asked.
"Under the sea south of Peach Blossom Island, there is a kind of deep-sea black iron. Let this boy go and collect ten kilograms of black iron. Before dark tomorrow, as long as he can deliver the black iron here on time, I will no longer stop him according to the high priest's decision. "Nan Lie said with an indifferent expression.
"Deep Sea Black Iron?"
Li Ziye looked puzzled, what the hell?
Does this require him to go mining?
He doesn't want to be a mine slave!
Human race, swear not to be slaves!
"Don't worry, Elder Nan Lie, we will bring Xuan Tie on time."
Ban Yue responded. Seeing someone trying to act like a monster again, she quickly grabbed him and dragged him out of the yard.
"Sister, don't pull me, I want to argue with that old man, it's too much!" Li Ziye shouted while struggling.
"Okay, we're just collecting some black iron. Sister, I'll go with you. Stop making trouble, be good, and be obedient." Ban Bianyue coaxed with a look of helplessness.
This child is so difficult to raise!
"But how do we go into the sea?" Li Ziye asked innocently.
"There is a water-proof bead at the high priest's place. Sister, go and borrow it." Ban Bian Yue responded.
"Avoid water beads?"
When Li Ziye heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Sell it? I can buy it with silver. I'm very rich."
"..."
Ban Yue didn't want to answer any more.
Are all sons of landlords so annoying?
Half an hour later.
In the center of Peach Blossom Island, in front of the altar.
The high priest of the Baiyue Clan handed a dark blue bead to the disciple in front of him and said calmly, "Be careful."
"Um."
Ban Yue bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, High Priest."
After saying that, Ban Yue took the water-avoiding beads and Li Gouzi, and left together to go into the sea to mine.
"Wow!"
Under the sea surface, a blue brilliance shrouds the water-shielding beads, showing magical power to block the surrounding seawater from the halo.
Li Ziye showed his country bumpkin side again, with a fuss-filled face and his hands dangling inside and outside the halo. The silly son of a landlord's family always behaves like this and has never seen the world.
"Stop it, hurry up. Each time this water-avoiding bead is used, it can only last for twelve hours at most. We must hurry up."
While talking, Ban Bianyue dragged the silly son of the landlord next to him and rushed towards the seabed. Although the seabed black iron that Elder Nanlie wanted was not a rare treasure, it was not that easy to find. Twelve hours, time was not rich.
On the side, Li Ziye was carrying a small basket and a pickaxe, and he was fully equipped with mining equipment.
Ten pounds!
Li Gouzi encouraged himself and dug more, maybe he could save some for himself.
He loves mining the most!
It’s a waste of time for people who don’t mine!
deep sea.
Darkness makes it impossible to see anything.
However, with the help of the brilliance of the water-proof beads, the two of them could barely see the surrounding scene.
In fact, there is nothing.
Under the deep sea, except for some coral reefs, there are not many living creatures.
"Sister, are there sea monsters under the sea?"
Li Ziye asked curiously.
"Don't be so arrogant."
Ban Yue scanned the surroundings and said angrily, "Hurry up and find the Black Iron Ore."
"Where can I find it?"
Li Ziye looked around and asked.
"nearby."
Ban Bian Yue said in a condensed voice, "Many years ago, Elder Nan Lie first discovered black iron ore in this sea area. Our Baiyue tribe would send people down to look for black iron every once in a while. However, the distribution of black iron ore It’s very scattered and hard to find.”
Hearing this, Li Ziye nodded, picked up his pickaxe and started digging.
He didn't believe it. A few pounds of broken iron could stump his destined son.
An hour later, Li Zi was dizzy while digging at night, with stars in his eyes.
Xuan Tie, I didn’t see a piece.
Li Gouzi is very perseverant and refuses to admit defeat.
I control my own life.
The pickaxe is swinging like rain, and the digging is endless.
Two hours later, Li Gouzi was so tired that his back and legs ached. He was holding a pickaxe and panting.
The surrounding area is full of traces of pickaxes.
His uncle, where is the Black Iron Mine?
Li Gouzi took a breath, swung the pickaxe, and continued digging.
Three hours later, Li Ziye collapsed on the seabed from exhaustion, not wanting to move his little finger.
"Sister, no."
Li Ziye said breathlessly, almost wanting to cry. This sea area is so big, he can't dig through it all.
"Keep looking."
Ban Yue frowned and said, "Hurry up, don't be lazy."
Li Ziye took several breaths, but had no choice but to get up and continue to work hard.
Over the sea.
The bright moon rises and darkness falls.
Legend has it that there is a huge sea monster in the East China Sea that will appear at night and attack passing ships.
However, legends are just legends, and few people have actually seen sea monsters.
Maybe there are no sea monsters in the world, or maybe everyone who has seen them has died.
Regardless of the reason, sea monsters appear to be uncommon in general.
As long as the luck is not extremely bad.
Of course, there are always people with different destiny in the world, and they are still so dazzling even in the dark night.
Can't stop it.
Under the sea, Li Ziye dug for another three hours, and finally his patience ran out. He threw the pickax aside and pulled out the sword from behind.
If you keep digging like this, you will never be able to find black iron. You can only enlarge it!
"Sage Fighting!"
With a deep shout, the true energy surged wildly. In Li Ziye's body, the true energy rushed against the divine treasure, and for a brief moment, an astonishing power exploded.
The next moment, the long sword in Li Ziye's hand was inserted directly into the ground. The violent sword energy spread from the sword's edge to the left and right, cracking the ground dozens of feet.
The rumble and vibration resounded through the bottom of the sea.
Li Gouzi looked at the huge ravine in front of him with a look of satisfaction on his face. How fast!
"Roar!"
Unexpectedly.
At this moment, deep in the sea, a pair of eyes like copper bells opened, and a terrifying roar sounded, shaking the entire sea.
