Beside the vast wellhead.
An old man in his twilight years sat cross-legged on the edge of the well, with a bamboo hat on his head and a raincoat on his body. He was holding a black thing like a fishing rod in his hand, as if he was fishing from the well.
Lao Xu stood sideways and said to Li Bai: "Go ahead, it's you that Team Leader Arhat wants to see this time."
Li Bai stepped forward, and as soon as he passed the iron gate, he felt a sharp and sinister aura, and there seemed to be a deep breathing sound of some kind of creature.
Dang Cang, Dang Cang!
As Li Bai approached the Suolong Well, he heard the sound of chains coming from the vast abyss-like mouth of the well.
Is it possible that there is really a dragon locked in this well?
Walking closer, Li Bai found that the diameter of Suolongjing was no less than a hundred meters, and it was pitch black when viewed from above.
Whether it was the cross-legged old man on the edge of the well or Li Bai, both of them seemed very small in front of the locked dragon well.
The endless darkness in the well made Li Bai feel intense heart palpitations after just one glance. It seemed that there was a ferocious beast dormant inside that might emerge at any time!
Shocked by the scale of the Longjing Lock in front of him, Li Bai was a little distracted for a moment.
Because the ghosts were open during the Ghost Festival this year, the air above Suolongjing was full of deathly wind, which made the clothes on the old man and Li Bai snap.
After a while, the old man coughed twice, which brought Li Bai back to his senses.
He hurriedly said to the old man: "Excuse me! Team Leader Arhat, are you looking for me?"
Li Bai said and looked behind Arhat. The light came from in front of Arhat, leaving no shadow on the ground.
"Don't look, you guessed it right, I'm just a ghost."
Arhat held the black fishing rod in his hand, sat motionless on the edge of the well, and said, "I came to you today because I have something to ask of you."
Li Bai hurriedly said: "Say it!"
Arhat moved a little, clang!
The sound of chains sounded.
Only then did Li Bai realize that Arhat was wearing an iron chain as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
One end of the iron chain penetrated the Arhat's skinny body, and the other end extended into the dark depths of the Dragon Well.
As Arhat moved slightly, the sound of clanking chains sounded from inside the well.
Looking at Li Bai, Arhat sighed and said, "When the time comes, please help me cut off the chains on my body."
Li Bai didn't know what material the iron chain was made of or where it came from.
But he felt that the chain that could be worn on the body of the Arhat leader should be unusual.
Li Bai was surprised: "Me? Can I?"
"You? Of course you can't."
Arhat glanced at the peach wood sword behind Li Bai and said, "But your sword is fine."
Li Bai: "..."
Suddenly, Li Bai felt that he was now completely the servant of the peach wood sword.
It does everything it does, and he is just the sword-carrying man who carries it to its destination.
And the reason for all this...
Li Bai said speechlessly: "If I had known, I wouldn't have lent him the sword at Qingyu Mountain!"
Hearing what Li Bai said, Arhat smiled and said with a smile: "My child, it is better to lend someone your sword than to lend your life to someone, right?"
Li Bai asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
Arhat nodded and said: "Yes, I just lent my life. But fortunately, the deadline for my loan is coming soon. In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years..."
As he spoke, he moved again, clanging, clanging –
The sound of the dragging chains echoed in the Suolongjing.
Pointing to the edge of the locked Longjing beside him, Arhat said: "Come here, sit and chat, it's still a long time, we have to wait until tomorrow night."
Li Bai walked over and sat down on the edge of the well with his legs crossed like an Arhat.
Looking at the peach wood sword on Li Bai's body, Arhat smiled.
He nodded and smiled: "Your sword has Yang Ning's breath. I can feel it. He has changed. He is no longer the casual child he used to be."
Li Bai: "???"
Isn't Yang Ning just doing it casually?
Li Bai said carefully: "Ahem, um, Team Leader Arhat, I'm afraid you don't understand him a little bit."
Luohan shook his head: "No, it's because you don't understand him."
Li Bai was dissatisfied and argued: "In terms of wealth, he is now worth tens of billions. In terms of strength, he can kill whoever he wants, and he will really kill whoever he wants. This is not just random." for?"
Arhat: "Of course not, it's just random."
"The people he wants to kill are people who are related to him."
Li Bai was at a loss for words. He seemed to understand what Arhat meant by "acting as one pleases" and "acting as one wishes".
Just do whatever you want and kill those who are destined to you.
If you do it casually, doesn't it mean you can really kill whoever you want? !
Don't care about fate at all? !
Ordinary people can just do whatever they want, but if Yang Ning does what he wants!
Thinking of Yang Ning's unpredictable strength, Li Bai simply couldn't imagine what would happen if he acted casually!
Rivers of blood? A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
Li Bai shook his head vigorously, with a hint of trembling in his voice: "Team Leader Arhat, could it be that Master Xiao Yang was a casual person back then?"
Arhat nodded and said, "Yes."
Just this one word made Li Bai full of infinite respect for the person in front of him!
This word represents a bloody battle!
Arhat continued: "A five-year-old child fell into the hands of a madman and was tortured alive for two years using the spirit gate magic. Do you think this child will be kind to the world?"
Li Bai was stunned for a few seconds and murmured: "Then, what happens next?"
Arhat's voice was extremely ordinary, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary trivial matter: "Xia Kingdom, Sakura, Gaoliang, Grassland, Nanyang, Tianxiang, the special management departments of the six countries jointly encircled and suppressed them, fought bloody battles, and won miserably."
"W-win? W-win?"
Li Bai felt a little incredible, he could actually win? !
How could the special agencies of the Six Nations unite to defeat the seven-year-old Yang Ning? !
etc!
After gathering the strength of the special administrative departments of the six countries, isn't it the right thing to defeat a seven-year-old child?
Why do you feel incredible?
Li Bai felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his cognition.
But he couldn't care about this. He was confused, "Since we won the battle, why is there still Master Xiao, Xiao Yang today?"
Arhat turned to look at him with confusion on his face: "Child, your thinking is a bit strange..."
"Why should we be without him if we win?"
Li Bai: "???"
"Leader Arhat, you, you have gathered the elites of the Six Nations, why don't you win once and for all and avoid future troubles?!"
Arhat was silent.
Li Bai felt that he seemed a little embarrassed.
"Son, at that time, our special agents from the Six Nations besieged Qingqiao together, and the goal we set was not to kill Yang Ning."
"It's about getting him to stop being spontaneous."
"Later the goal is achieved, don't we win?"
Li Bai: "..."
Li Bai understood what Arhat meant.
If you, the elites of the Six Nations, gather together, you are not even sure you can kill someone? !
Immediately, Li Bai thought of the foreigners who were preparing to arrest Yang Ning at this time.
"Then this time, those Westerners are planning to arrest Master Xiao Yang?!"
Arhat nodded at the right moment and said, "Well, yes, these Westerners do have an adventurous spirit."
"Influenced by maritime powers, Westerners have always admired this adventurous spirit, which is indeed what we Easterners lack."
"But I don't suggest that our young people should learn from them. After all, being cautious also has the advantage of being cautious, right?"
Li Bai: "Of course!"
...
