To the northwest of the Fire Country, there are mountains and forests.
In a long and deep cave, broken human bones are occasionally seen on both sides. Combined with the dim light, it brings a strange and terrifying atmosphere, causing few people to dare to go deep inside.
But if you go to the end, you can see a door with simple patterns, and under two blazing white lights, a dragon shape is faintly reflected.
This is the Dragon Cave of the Three Great Immortals.
Three days after his second trip to a distant alien space to spar with Kaguya, Ji Xing came here.
Black Zetsu was assigned other tasks by him and did not come with him, so only Kyuubi accompanied him in the form of a seal hidden in the palm of his hand.
In fact, according to the agreement, it was time to bring the Eight-Tails out this time, but Ji Xing still needed the fighting power of the Nine-Tails and had no time to take care of two children at the same time, so he made an appointment next time.
Standing in front of the gate of Longdi Cave, the gate opened automatically without Ji Xing knocking on it, and two figures behind the door, one on the left and one on the right, seemed to welcome guests.
One was a girl with long green hair, and the other was a little girl with long dark blue hair. They greeted in unison: "Sir Ishiba Kizao!"
"I am Tian Xinji."
"I am Ichikishima-hime."
"We are the Snake Princess who serves the White Snake Immortal. We welcome Master Shi Pojizao to Ryūchi Cave!"
"It's quite neat." Ji Xing nodded and said, "Have you practiced many times? Did White Snake guess that I would come?"
"Yes!" Ichikishima Hime said: "Since Master Slug Sento sent a message to Master White Snake Sento a few days ago, we have been arranged to pick you up here. Please come with us, the Sage has been waiting for you."
She looked a little nervous.
After all, compared with the ninjas who have listened to their stories for decades, they have listened to them for hundreds of years. They are very close to the period when Ji Xing ruled the Kingdom of Stars, and they understand what happened at that time better.
Led by two Snake Girls, Ji Xing walked into Longdi Cave. Different from the atmosphere of Mt. Miaomu, where birds are singing, flowers are fragrant, and frogs are chirping, Ryongji Cave is full of cold and damp land, with small colorful snakes swimming around, catching earthworms and luring insects for food.
There are several large snake caves, and there are strong vitality fluctuations in them, but Ji Xing is not interested in them now and goes all the way to the depths of Longdi Cave.
In front of the vast hall, a fat old woman was holding a pipe and was waiting for Ji Xing with Tuanjinji, the last snake concubine in Longdi Cave.
"Long time no see, White Snake."
"Yes, Lord Shi Pojizao." Immortal White Snake said, "You three go down first, while Lord Shipojizao and I catch up on old times."
"Yes, Lord White Snake Immortal."
The three Snake Queens retreated, and only Ji Xing and White Snake Immortal were left in the hall. She smiled and said: "I heard from Immortal Slug a few days ago that you have recovered. It really shocked me. Thinking about it later, it's not surprising. Lord Hamura back then A similar tone has also been revealed.”
"Really? That kid has such a loose mouth." Ji Xing shook his head and walked closer: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you in human form. It makes you look like a kind old lady, which is a bit awkward."
"Isn't this old age? It was not like this back then." White Snake Sage joked: "When I first took human form, I was more beautiful than the three of them. Lord Hamura even had a secret love for me."
Ji Xing was stunned for a moment, with a surprised smile on his face.
"Is there such a thing? Please elaborate."
"Hahaha, there's nothing more to say, it's just a young boy named Muai. Later, he was discovered by Lord Hagoromo, taught Lord Hamura a lesson, and married him a wife, and the matter was over."
White Snake Sage shook his head: "And don't say I'm a snake and he's a human. Just talk about age. I'm hundreds of years older than Hamura-sama."
"It's a pity that Hagoromo is meddling in other people's business." Ji Xing lamented, "We are missing a daughter-in-law."
The White Snake Immortal was startled and laughed.
Different from the situation a thousand years ago, when they meet again after a thousand years, there are not many old friends of each other, so they automatically turn their relationship into friends.
Unlike Tomamaru, who was exiled to another space early, White Snake Sennin has been with the Kingdom of Stars for a long time after Ji Xing left, and he was able to fill the gap before the birth of Black Zetsu.
And although the three great immortals have all made contracts with Ji Xing, in fact only Tomamaru is always with Ji Xing, the slug follows Hagoromo, and the white snake follows Hamura, so most of what it talks about is Hamura's 15-year-old to young adulthood. Interesting stories about growing up.
Ji Xing sounded very nostalgic. Compared to the deep and mature Hagoromo, he preferred Hamura. Who made the child call him daddy all the time?
She looked so cute when she was a child.
They talked and laughed, and walked to the huge throne of the White Snake Immortal in the depths of the hall. The White Snake Immortal tapped his pipe on the armrest, opened a mechanism, and revealed a scroll.
"This is it."
Ji Xing received it in his hand, unfolded it, spread it on the ground, and unsealed it.
After a burst of white smoke from Peng, a corpse appeared on the scroll. His real age was over 50, but his appearance was about 30. He had messy white hair, handsome appearance, two horns on the top of his head, and six magatama embroidered on his clothes. white coat.
An unusually familiar, but much more mature face appeared in front of him, pulling people into memories. Ji Xing couldn't help but reach out and touch his horn lightly, and said with a smile: "I'm back, Hamura."
Of course, Otsutsuki Hamura, who has been dead for thousands of years, will not respond to Ji Xing. There is no trace of chakra left in this corpse.
After the battle with Otsutsuki Shimei, Hagoromo only had time to say a few words to Black Zetsu before he died, while Hamura lived for a while longer.
Because at the critical moment, he came to Ryuji Cave through the reverse channeling of the White Snake Sage, and avoided the last wave of indiscriminate attacks by Otsutsuki Shiji.
He was able to make some final arrangements.
Remembering Ji Xing's teachings, he was worried that without Kaguya's suppression, the powerful ninjas would enslave and oppress ordinary people. He was also worried that he and Hagoromo's descendants would lose control, so he set some rules, which turned the current ninja world into a country and a country. Ninja villages coexist, otherwise it would be the Ninja villages that rule the country.
It was also he who left a message to Hei Jue, telling Hei Jue that if he could not rescue his mother, then he would try to find Ji Xing and his father would find a way.
】
Also different from Hagoromo's body which was taken under the control of Black Zetsu, his body remained in Ryūchi Cave, but it was better preserved until a thousand years later.
Seeing Hamura's silence for a moment, Ji Xing sighed: "You must have inherited Kaguya's appearance. Look at what Hagoromo looks like."
White Snake Immortal smiled and said: "Master Hagoromo, you are indeed more...mature."
Ji Xing smiled and raised his head, taking Hamura's body back into the scroll: "Then I will take him away. White Snake, I came to you for one more thing.
There is a rebellious ninja named Orochimaru in Konoha Village who signed the psychic contract in Ryūchi Cave. Can you be sure of his current location? "
…
Two days later.
Southwest of the Fire Country.
A secret underground base.
With long black hair, long golden piercings, purple eye shadow that extends to the wings of his nose, and a pale middle-aged face wearing blue magatama-shaped earrings, Orochimaru is holding a test tube filled with green liquid in his hand. The child shakes in front of him and observes.
Suddenly his ears twitched.
"What's the matter, Honglian? I didn't mean..."
The hoarse voice paused, and his snake boy turned to the stairs leading here from the upper level.
Is it Brother Scorpion? No, probably not.
Putting down the test tube in his hand, a cold aura of snake attacks emanated from his body, and he watched the uninvited guest walk into the laboratory.
Under the bright light, Orochimaru's snake boy suddenly enlarged. This face was...
Not a transformation technique, nor a disguise?
But how is it possible, the real appearance? !
Ji Xing nodded to him and said: "No need to doubt it, junior, I am definitely Shi Poji."
Silence, shock, doubt, so many emotions had never flashed across Orochimaru's pale face in a short period of time, and finally turned into a wave of fanatical flame-like emotions reflected in his snake boy!
Ji Xing raised his eyebrows slightly.
Orochimaru's flame went out again.
He was silent for three seconds again, bowed deeply, and said hoarsely and respectfully: "This is really amazing. The first daimyo of the Star Kingdom, Ishibaji, the first ancestor of the Star Kingdom who established the Star Kingdom and unified the ninja world, I didn't expect that I would see it with my own eyes Your pleasure..."
