Chapter 454: Three people knocking on the door, the secret of the mother river
Ji Huo impatiently put on a black robe to cover his face. Sometimes, being too handsome would only cause trouble. He deliberately put on a black robe to cover his face because he didn't want his face to be too memorable.
When I pushed open the door, the candle flame swayed slightly due to the change in air flow.
"Look, today's rent..."
The waiter laughed, he bent over, hunched over, with a flattering smile on his face, and rubbed his hands back and forth in front of his chest.
A common style.
Ji Huo was tall, a head taller than the waiter. He was standing at the door at the moment. Because of the flickering lights in the room, his shadow extended outside the door.
It almost covered the waiter, and his hands behind his back slowly stretched out their sharp claws, feeling disgust from the bottom of his heart.
"Cough cough." Ji Nan coughed lightly.
Ji Huo immediately pulled back his claws and took out a few small coins from his pocket. The waiter quickly spread out his hands and looked at the small coins. His eyes widened. This was a lot of money. Ji Huo slapped the silver heavily on the waiter's hand, making a loud and crisp sound.
Then, the waiter screamed. Ji Huo closed the door and said calmly, "Don't bother us these days."
The waiter knelt at the door and looked down at his hands. They had turned red and black, and felt numb and a little painful. The few silver coins were imprinted into his flesh.
"hiss…"
His tears could not stop flowing, and as time passed, his palms became more and more swollen, like a pair of pig's trotters, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
The blow that Ji Huo had just received had broken all the blood vessels in his hand, dislocating the bones...
It can be said that this one palm alone is enough to ruin the waiter's life. Whether he can still use this hand is another matter.
"Get out!" Ji Huo's voice came from the room.
"sorry Sorry."
The waiter was frightened and panicked. He had an old mother to support at home and he was out there to make a living. Even if he was wronged, he could only swallow his anger.
The key point is that he has not yet realized the seriousness of this palm strike, he just feels unbearable pain.
The waiter wiped his tears with his elbow and hurried downstairs. However, when he turned the corner, a hand grabbed his wrist and made him stop.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the waiter asked, puzzled.
"No."
The guest shook his head and slowly released his wrist.
The waiter bowed a few times and went downstairs humbly. When he reached the second floor, he found that the swelling on his hand had gone down without him noticing.
He flexed his hands.
He was as good as new, and the severe pain just now gradually faded away. He originally thought that his injury would require at least ten days or half a month to recover.
"Could it be... that guest?" The waiter recalled the white-robed swordsman who grabbed his wrist at the corner.
But he couldn't remember the other person's face.
"That's all."
The waiter muttered something and continued to work.
……
inside the room.
Ji Huo took off his black robe and hung it on the wooden rack at the door. His handsome face could not hide the look of disgust.
"That palm of yours has broken his hand." Ji Nan said sweetly.
"I'm so annoyed." Ji Huo showed disdain on his face, "If you live such a humble life, what's the point of living?"
"If it wasn't inappropriate, I would have already twisted off his head and taken out his heart."
Ji Nan propped up her chin, the moonlight shining on her face. She looked in a certain direction, a little puzzled, "Brother Bei Ming specifically told us to be cautious in this city."
"It seems like they are concerned about the Hemu Temple, but is the Hemu Temple really that scary?"
Ji Huo sneered, "It's not that the river mother is scary, but the temple is like its eyes. If it finds us, our plan will be exposed. We need to be careful when we act under their noses."
In fact, what the two of them didn't know was.
Their brother Bei Ming had fought with the River Mother thousands of years ago.
Besides being afraid of the plan being exposed.
In addition, he was traumatized by the beating. He has always been ashamed to talk about it and regards it as a shame. This made the naturally proud mermaid genius feel fear and jealousy towards the human race.
He was already the top genius of the mermaid race, but he was still defeated when facing that woman. Even though the other party's body was so weak, he felt that he could not resist.
Especially at that time.
In the later stage of the battle, the opponent's movements made his scalp tingle. Ji Beiming, one of the three great geniuses of the mermaid clan, was so scared that he dived into the sea and fled out in a panic.
Later, he heard that the woman's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, and she sang all the way. Only Ji Beiming knew the pain in his heart. And in order to maintain the dignity of the mermaids, he had to suppress it in his heart.
As a result, in the later period, he developed inner demons, cracks appeared in his state of mind, and was slightly inferior to the other two geniuses.
With all these things, he looked through the Hemu Temple, and when he saw the face in the temple, his scalp tingled. Naturally, he didn't dare to get close, let alone cause trouble.
Ji Huo and Ji Nan had never known these inside stories and could only speculate. In fact, they were not unfamiliar with the God of Incense and Fire. This was a way to prolong life that the human race had discovered after the Reformation.
In their eyes, the East God and the South God of Dayu Kingdom were no more than that. The River Mother of a higher level must be no more than that.
"By the way, Ji Huo, I have always had a question." Ji Nan looked at the bright moon outside the window and asked curiously, "Who is stronger between you and your brother?"
When Ji Huo heard this, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked a little unhappy. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Of course it's me."
"Oh?" Ji Nan looked at Ji Huo with a smile.
Ji Huo said: "I have a deeper understanding of the image of the West Sea than I do. I have already condensed the blue-purple color. Just based on this point, I am half a step ahead of my brother."
"That's true." Ji Nan nodded in agreement.
The mermaids have strong bodies, and at the bottom of the mermaid land, there are four ferocious sea statues guarding a place. This has been passed down since ancient times.
The mermaids can comprehend physical magical powers by visualizing sea images, which is of great benefit whether in close combat or long-range warfare.
Only those who have reached the level of Lianxu have the opportunity to come into contact with the four sea statues.
The ferocious image of the evil sea, the terrifying image of the swallowing sea, the jealous image of the overturned sea, and the dead sea's image of desolation.
Each of them guards one side.
"I heard from Brother Bei Ming that the provocative white-clothed swordsman has been blown to pieces by him." Ji Nan said.
"Of course." Ji Huo nodded. "When my brother attacks, it is very difficult for human cultivators to resist."
"According to the time, my brother should be back in one or two days..."
"Wait, I suddenly have a very strong premonition that my brother is coming back!"
The words fell.
"Dong dong dong..."
Three knocks on the door were answered.
